Abstract [en]

Rights to an equal city should include feeling safe to freely use public spaces. This thesis sets out to understand the experiences of women in Örebro with feelings of fear and safety in public, taking into consideration where and how they experience these feelings, and how it in turn affects their use of space. Moreover, their gendered and intersectional perspectives are taken into consideration in understanding how this can alter and influence their fears. The data for this thesis was collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven women between 18-35 years old who live in Örebro, using a walking-along method. Where and how women in Örebro experienced fear are based on external stimuli that influence their feelings. Participants were aware of the gendered implications when utilising public space and limited their use of space accordingly. Furthermore, the intersectional identities of participants as immigrant women increased their fear in public, as they did not experience a sense of belonging, their mental maps of public space were not as developed compared to their home country and they sensed the existing power imbalance between Swedes and immigrants. The findings indicate that feelings of fear are not dependent on urban structures, but rather on a plethora of individual external factors, experiences and intersecting identities. The thesis further expands on the research gap by exploring the experience of immigrant women with fear using intersectionality in Örebro, and further research regarding this can be of value.
