Abstract
Depopulation of villages as a result of double urbanisations is a problem many places in Denmark, the villages holds both cultural and human values, and it is therefore important to prevent further depopulation, by bringing back people to the villages, this thesis explores how a mapping of a village can identify the qualities, and with design interventions highlight these, giving the village a possibility to attract new residents and tourists. This topic is explored through the integrated design process, where a comprehensive analysis through a mapping will unfold Tversted and the potentials and qualities it holds. The qualities of Tversted, with the biggest being the nature and tourists, creates ideas for a design solution that brings focus on the village. With a wayfinding system and an activity zone, a place-based design is created, which can attract people to Tversted, and possible to become new residents.
