Abstract
This thesis examines tourism in Ørestad, Copenhagen, where everyday settings such as the residential building 8Tallet and the public high school Ørestad Gymnasium intersect with architecture tourism. Against a backdrop of growing visitor numbers, a strategic push to disperse tourism into city districts, and demand for authentic local experiences, the study asks how tourism reshapes everyday life and affects the social conditions for long-term sustainability. Centering the lived experiences of residents, students and staff, and the power and responsibility structures around tourism management, the research adopts a phronetic, social-constructivist approach and qualitative methods: in-depth interviews, observation and netnography. The framework links place making with social sustainability to address how physical (e.g., architecture) and non-physical factors (e.g., ethics, sense of belonging, host–guest relations) shape places when the ordinary becomes a tourist experience. The analysis shows blurred lines between public and private, both opportunities and challenges for locals, and fragmented governance. In response, the thesis introduces Socially Sustainable Place Making—integrating tourism, social sustainability and often overlooked private spheres into the planning and design of urban places—proposed as an add-on to traditional place making and a key element in future strategic urban development.
Dette speciale undersøger turismens tilstedeværelse i Ørestad, hvor hverdagssteder som boligkomplekset 8Tallet og den offentlige skole Ørestad Gymnasium møder arkitekturturisme. På baggrund af voksende gæstetal, en strategisk indsats for at sprede turisme til bydele og en efterspørgsel efter autentiske, lokale oplevelser undersøger specialet, hvordan turisme former hverdagslivet og påvirker de sociale bæredygtighedsbetingelser. Med fokus på de lokales levede erfaringer og på magt- og ansvarsforhold i forvaltningen af turisme anvender studiet en phronetisk, socialkonstruktivistisk tilgang og kvalitative metoder: dybdeinterviews, observation og netnografi. Teoretisk kobles placemaking med social bæredygtighed for at belyse, hvordan både fysiske (fx arkitektur) og ikke-fysiske faktorer (fx etik, tilhørsforhold, værts–gæst-relationer) former steder, når hverdag bliver turistoplevelse. Analysen viser, at grænser mellem det offentlige og det private udviskes, at turisme skaber både muligheder og udfordringer for beboere, elever og ansatte, og at styring og ansvar er spredt mellem flere aktører. Som svar introduceres begrebet Socialt Bæredygtig Placemaking, der integrerer turisme, social bæredygtighed og de ofte oversete private sfærer i planlægningen og designet af byrum. Begrebet foreslås som et supplement til traditionel placemaking og som en central komponent i fremtidige strategiske byudviklingsplaner.
