Healthcare gardens
Kursen innehåller grundläggande kunskaper om människans samspel med utemiljön med särskild relevans för trädgårdar och parker vid hälso- och vårdinrättningar. Olika målgruppers särskilda egenskaper och behov studeras samt vad dessa innebär i samspelet med omgivningen. På kursen analyseras befintliga miljöers för- och nackdelar i förhållande till olika målgrupper och dessa analyser används för att utveckla gestaltningsförslag till hälsoträdgårdar.
