Abstract
Specialet har til formål at videreudvikle et Local Community Foodscape Assessment Tool (LC-FAT), så det på lang sigt kan bruges i praksis til at identificere handle- og interventionsmuligheder i et lokalt fødevaremiljø og skabe et solidt grundlag for fremtidige sundhedsfremmende indsatser. Baggrunden er, at mange eksisterende planlægningsmodeller er udviklet teoretisk med begrænset inddragelse af praksis. Studiet inddrager viden fra nøgleaktører i det valgte lokalsamfund og borgeres erfaringer med hverdagsmadmiljøet i Sydhavnen. Metodisk anvendes udelukkende kvalitative metoder: ekspert- og mediatorinterviews for at indsamle erfaringer og perspektiver fra centrale aktører samt en urban songlines-tilgang til at undersøge slutbrugeres perspektiver på det lokale foodscape. Hovedresultatet er en videreudviklet version 3.0 af LC-FAT baseret på interviewfund og vurdering af urban songlines-metodens egnethed. Studiet indikerer, at værktøjet kan optimeres til at vurdere lokale forhold og handlemuligheder, og at inddragelse af nøgleinteressenter er værdifuld for at sikre anvendelighed i praksis og et grundigt behovsgrundlag for kommende indsatser.
This thesis aims to further develop a Local Community Foodscape Assessment Tool (LC-FAT) so it can be used in practice to identify action and intervention opportunities in a local community food environment and provide a solid basis for future health-promoting initiatives. The motivation is that many existing planning models are theoretically driven with limited involvement of practice. The study engages knowledge from key actors in the chosen community and residents’ experiences of the everyday food environment in Sydhavnen. Methods are exclusively qualitative: expert and mediator interviews to gather experiences and perspectives from central stakeholders, and an urban songlines approach to explore end-users’ perspectives on the local foodscape. The main outcome is a revised LC-FAT version 3.0 developed from version 2.5, based on insights from the interviews and an assessment of the suitability of the urban songlines method. The study suggests that the tool can be optimized for assessing local conditions and action opportunities, and that involving key stakeholders is valuable for ensuring practical feasibility and building a thorough needs assessment to inform future interventions.
