Purpose This paper explores shared use of space and facilities as a concept, and presents and illustrates the use of a typology to help classify and describe the different options for sharing space and facilities within buildings for optimised use of a building portfolio. ApproachThe content presented is based on a cross-sectional study with an inductive approach. The results are based partly on secondary data in the form of a literature review and a mapping of 20 examples from Europe, USA and Australia, and partly on primary data from observations and interviews with key actors from two cases in Denmark and an illustration case from Ireland. ResultsThe typology classifies and describes 4 archetypes of sharing between different people, building owners and organisations, to be used when discussing, planning, establishing and evaluating new and existing shared spaces. Practical ImplicationsThe typology is intended for both researchers and practitioners, and aims at increasing the understanding of sharing as a way to minimize the need for building new by better utilization of the existing building stock. Research limitationsThe typology is the result of a first exploration of shared use of facilities, and does not claim to be fully comprehensive or final.Originality/value Shared space and facilities is a relatively new topic with not much research undertaken. This typology provides a language for discussing shared spaces and a base for further developing the research field.

“…As the life expectancy of the elderly population increases, there has also been an increase in the interest in the lifestyle of the elderly. To remain active as a part of growing old is important for health and well-being of the elderly [1] and this should also be an important consideration for the holistic health of the society [2,3]. In particular, for the elderly of the lower-income bracket, health problems are a matter of serious concern in connection with their economic burden, such as medical costs for various treatments.…”

Recent medical studies have revealed that the physical activity for active ageing is very important for health and well-being of elderly's life. This study aims to identify the current situation of public exercise environments where the elderly in urban areas exercise daily, and to research how public exercise environments could influence the physical activities for the active ageing of the elderly. The site of this study is an underprivileged urban area where the low-income elderly population is dominant. Through field observations, and through direct interviews using questionnaire form for 180 subjects over a period in October to November 2011, data on the elderly's physical activity were collected. The result of this study revealed that the elderly in underprivileged urban areas were using the public exercise environment regardless of their perceived health, and that the older residents would undertake less vigorous physical activities. The regular users of these public facilities would tend to be more active than those who do not. The research illustrates the significance of public exercise environments which should have a role in health promotion. Therefore, availability of public places, such as small neighbourhood gardens and parks, should be part of a nation's strategy to encourage active ageing for the elderly, particular in low-income areas.

“…With this in mind, additional knowledge is needed to create a better understanding of the complex processes involved in shared space, and to fulfil this gap some literature is beginning to emerge, building on the initial work by for example (Gaffikin & Morrissey, 2011;Khamkanya & Sloan, 2009;Lee, Kim, & Yoon, 2010;Rafferty, 2012).…”

Access over ownership: meeting facilities in Lyngby-Taarbæk Knowledge City

Purpose: This study investigates the attitude towards shared space in an urban context with a particular focus on meeting facilities. The Lyngby-Taarbaek City of Knowledge is used as case, as this organisation has a vision of sharing facilities to stimulate regional development. Methodology:The attitude towards shared space in the Lyngby-Taarbaek City of Knowledge is studied in a three-step qualitative research process. An initial survey investigated the City of Knowledge's member's attitude towards shared space in general, a workshop further explored motivations and practical needs and a second survey investigated the attitude towards shared meeting facilities. The Brinkø Typology of Shared Use of Space and Facilities is used as the theoretical framework for the study . Findings:This study show that the respondents are very positive towards the concept of shared space, but more reluctant when it comes to sharing own facilities. A majority of the informants are often using externally owned facilities for meetings and events, and prefer professional meeting facilities to schools, universities and sports facilities. This point to a need for developing relevant service concepts, if a shared space strategy with focus on meeting facilities were to be used to increase the use rate of existing buildings not already intended for this use.Originality: This study adds to the so far limited amount of scientific knowledge on the topic of shared space, by investigating the attitude towards shared space among a specific group of people, in relation to the use of external meeting facilities.
