Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En verksamhet eller åtgärd kan ha stor inverkan på människor, djur, växter, mark, vatten, luft, klimat, landskap och kulturmiljö. För att fatta bästa möjliga beslut om en projekt-ut-formning som tar hänsyn till konsekvenserna för olika berörda miljövärden åter-finns kravet på miljökonsekvensbeskrivning, MKB, i svensk lagstiftning. Syftet med en MKB är att identiAn activity or a measure might have a great impact on people, animals, plants, soil, water, air, climate and landscape. In order to describe the direct and indirect effects an intended activity might have an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) must be carried out. This demand is regulated in Swedish legislation and makes it possible to achieve as small impact on the environment as practicable. A

The transdisciplinary fields of design and feminist technoscience share a common interest in focusing on the world in a state of always becoming, always changing. Within feminist technoscience, norm-critical perspectives are implemented to shed light on unequal sociotechnical infrastructures. Within design research, generative methods of critical design and design fiction encourage processes of fi
