Tech/Engineering - Architecture / Architecture | | Swedish term or phrase: abbreviation "ha" | | Architecture, the area is ca 10 "ha"--What does this abbreviation stand for, in Swedish and in English? |
| | | Hectare (English) / Hektar (Swedish) | Explanation:
As you asked for this both in Swedish and English, I am just putting in a note to distinguish the two (as both of the above are correct).
As you asked this in regards to architecture, I would note that 10,000 square meters is the equivalent of 1 hectare (if using the metric system as one would in Sweden and in my native country Canada).
Note, however, often farmland is referred to as acres, in which case a hectare is 2.741 acres (US and in Canada's countryside).

hectare
\Hec"tare`\, n. [F., fr. Gr. ? hundred + F. are an are.] A measure of area, or superficies, containing a hundred ares, or 10,000 square meters, and equivalent to 2.471 acres.
