The purpose of this study was to investigate individuals' experiences of safety at Kista bus station. The study aimed to provide answers to the research questions of whether individuals perceive safety at Kista bus station and on the way to and from the bus station, if there is a difference in perceived safety between men and women, and during daytime and nighttime, and how well the results from the observation analysis aligned with the results from the survey.
In this study, I chose to use a case study design which involved studying a specific location and focusing on the specific place of Kista bus station. A combination of various methods such as survey, observation analysis, and literature review were used in this work to facilitate the study of the location. This combination provided a deeper understanding of the functions and conditions of the location, as such a type of combination of methods helps to study the research questions from different perspectives. Thus, these methods used in this study contributed to validate the results. The conclusion of this study was that Kista bus station is relatively safe currently, but some areas around the station are perceived as unsafe.
