Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to examine how the municipality of Trollhattan works to counteractschool segregation in Kronogarden and integrate the schools in the whole municipality. Theclosure of the schools in Kronogarden is in focus in this study, but there is also the ambitionto look more closely at whether the closure of schools as a measure fulfills a function relatedto previous research. The methods used in this study are qualitative text analysis andinterview method, where framing constituted the analytical framework for the empiricalmaterial in order to be able to analyze. The main results of the study show that themunicipality of Trollhattan works in different directions to counteract and solve schoolsegregation. Kronogarden is in focus for Trollhattan's municipality's work regarding bothcounteracting segregation and integration in general. The results also indicate that schoolsegregation has arisen due to other factors such as housing segregation and school choice.Related to previous research, it is stated that the closure of schools as a measure forintegration purposes has seldom proved to be successful in solving school segregation.Through the analysis, it has been emphasized that in the municipality of Trollhattan, there ismore needed than just closing down schools in certain areas to solve school segregation, as itdoes not constitute the core of the problem.
