Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka döva museibesökares upplevelser av museiserviser inom tillgänglighetsområdet. Vi undersökte vilka tjänster museer (inom Stockholm) erbjuder för sina döva besökare. Forskningen koncentrerades på att skapa en bättre förståelse för döva individer, samt att undersöka orsakerna till deras problem och hitta lösningar på problemet. Denna studie har tillämpat en forskningsdesign med flera metoder. Detta innebär att både de kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoderna har använts. Sju intervjuer genomfördes (fysiskt, e-post och via Zoom). Några döva lärare som arbetar vid universitetet intervjuades. Ett fåtal museichefer och personal har intervjuats för att få information om de tjänster museerna erbjuder. Dessutom har vi med hjälp av en anonym enkätundersökning (på Google Form) som skickas via sociala medier till olika dövföreningar fått veta om deras problem. Resultaten av undersökningen skapades med hjälp av Excel XLSX. För att få en bättre bild av deras problem observeras fem museer i Stockholm. Vikten av tekniska verktyg för att göra museet mer tillgängligt ingår också i forskningen. Mot bakgrund av de resultat som erhållits i denna studie kan man säga att studierna bör utökas för att göra museerna mer tillgängliga genom att agera mer gästvänliga utan att vara etnocentriska, så att de döva individer som besöker museerna i Stockholm får en mer minnesvärd upplevelse.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate deaf museum visitors' experiences of museum services in the field of accessibility. We investigated what services museums (within Stockholm) offer for their deaf visitors. The research concentrated on creating a better understanding of deaf individuals, as well as investigating the causes of their problems and finding solutions to the problem. This study has applied a research design with multiple methods. This means that both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used. Seven interviews were conducted (physically, email and via Zoom). Some deaf teachers working at the university were interviewed. A few museum managers and staff have been interviewed to get information about the services the museums offer. In addition, with the help of an anonymous survey (on Google Form) that is sent via social media to various deaf associations, we have learned about their problems. The results of the survey were created using Excel XLSX. In order to get a better picture of the deaf's problems, five museums in Stockholm are observed. The importance of technical tools to make the museum more accessible is also included in the research. In light of the results obtained in this study, it can be said that studies should be extended to make the museums more accessible by acting more hospitable without being ethnocentric, so that the deaf individuals who visit the museums in Stockholm have a more memorable experience.
