Picking the coldest week of the winter, so far, we in the 'Denmark vs. Sweden'-group stood outside train stations and such, asking the people of Oresund the following questions:
1. Where do you live? Why? If you could choose freely would you live somewhere else? What's the most important when you choose a place to live? (Economy/Aesthetics/Comfort)
2. Where do you go shopping? Why? (meeting place?/Convenient?/low prices?)
3. Is facilities for excercising important when choosing a place to live?
4. What do you think about 'allemansrätten'?
5. Do you have an opinion about the difference of the taxes in Denmark and Sweden?
6. What do you think of differences in laws? For instance the smoking ban in Sweden?
7. Politicians wants to make the Oresund region more united and competitive economically.
Do you think this is a good thing. Has this meant anything for you personally?
8. Do you feel mostly Danish or mostly Swedish?
The commuting people were stressed and not always willing to talk. It was cold. It was dark.
We're thawing at the moment and will probably regain normal body temperature until monday.

spotting shopping.. say that 3 times fast!!
Our group has been focusing on shopping within the region, and have been working through some fundamental questions in our investigation. One of our questions: How has the fixed link affected shopping in the region?
This may be of interest to anybody who is looking at the social and economic implications the Öresund link has had on the region. This particular article is available online, and was published by the Öresund Brokonsortiet in 2006.

It basically looks at the impact the bridge has had on things like transportation, economics, and the environment. Was useful for our group to find out who uses the link and for what reason (shopping!)

Shopping for problems....
Hi fellow investigators!
We've spotted things all week. Like that it's hard to find the information you want (like many has already realised). We've been trying to get statistics on shopping centers and stuff like that without luck most of the time. But hey! Who said this would be a piece of a cake?
We got some numbers and some ideas from the big book (on shopping by koolhaas). The book is great!
It's friday... over and out!
/e and the spotters

Scenic beach
Hejsan,
the mobility group has changed direction and is now investigating the beaches and beachlife in the region. Not too many beachboys and bikinigirls out there at the moment, but it seem to be a trend for the oldies to go to kallbadhus (coldbadinghouse). There are a lot of them.
We havn't found a "scenic beach" yet though (a place where you go because of the faboulus natural beauty...). Please tell us if you know one!

Hej!
Our group are working on a "tourist brochure". It will show to people why should they choose this "healthy" region? Or why shouldn't? Our little study trip was interesting and as cold as a stone. My favourite part was the Botanical Roof Garden in Augustenborg, Malmö. It was instructive. I 'm lookin' for the next week to transplant our ideas into the reality.

Interviews
Hello everybody,
our group did a lot of interviews during Wensday and Thursday. On Wensday we went to Malmö Central Station and we were waiting for trains,which goes from Copenhagen. We met many interesting people and heard a lot of opinions about housing, lifestyle and Oresund region.Next day we were in Lomma and in Burlöv Centre to find people from suburbs and hear their opinion. In the evening we went to Malmö Syd to speak with danish people, who live in Sweden. Now we want to compaire answers. We also sent emails to planning offices in Malmö, Copenhagen, Lomma and other small towns in Sweden. We will see, what they will response.
