Methodology development and inventory of fire stations

The project is a continuation of the inventory project initiated and carried out in 2012. This year's project includes an inventory of fire stations and method development for inventories of fire stations. The method is being developed in parallel with ongoing inventories in three selected counties, Västmanland, Stockholm and Örebro. The 2013 continuation project aims to refine the inventory method in parallel with inventories in another three counties, Uppsala County, Södermanland County and Dalarna County. The method must be given greater flexibility in order to make it generally applicable to fire station inventories throughout the country. The principles for grading the cultural-historical value of the objects should be developed to include different levels of detail in the object descriptions, as well as principles for sleeping. The 2012 project shows large, unexplained variations between the building stocks in the first three test counties, which requires that the inventory method be further developed with more material. In addition, the number of objects has turned out to be significantly larger than could reasonably be expected, which means that the method must be adapted for a very large number of objects, especially for future regional or national compilations and assessments of the industrial and cultural history values of buildings.
