Hur planerar man förtätning av städer där grönytor väljs ut för ny exploatering? Det är vad arbetet i huvudsak vill ha svar på. Städerna vill både expandera och integreras i ett urbant liv och samtidigt ha tillgång till mycket grönt. Det urbana står för den täta staden med sociala möten, kommunikationer och service etc. medans det gröna står för friytor, grönområden och grönska i städerna. Ronneby är en kommun likt många kommuner som har den här problematiken mellan urbanitet och natur.

Luleå kommun är en organisation som länge har jobbat med att kompetensutveckla sin personal och utveckla sitt eget arbete med kompetensutveckling. Då Luleå kommun även är en stor organisation med över 7000 anställda i olika fält så är det även av intresse för kommunen i sig att deras personal håller en hög kompetensnivå. Luleå kommuns strävan efter att utveckla sitt arbete med kompetensutveckling har lett till att de valt att testa nya modeller. En av de modeller som kommunen valt att testats bygger på ett nätverksbaserat verktyg. Testet av verktyget har genomförts av en grupp personalspecialister samt andra organisationer via deltagande i ett projekt kallat CLN (Collaborative Learning Networks).Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur Luleå kommuns personalspecialister har upplevt CLN projektet och det nätverksbaserade verktyget, samt skapa en djupare förståelse till vad ett sådant verktyg kan medföra till kommunens kompetensutvecklingsarbete.

Förändringar pågår ständigt i samhället och är beroende av många olika processer. Så är även fallet längs kusten, vilket avspeglar sig bl a i bebyggelsen och nyttjandet av landskapet. Under början av 1900-talet blev kusten ett alltmer attraktivt rekreationsområde och stora områden togs i anspråk för fritidsbebyggelse. Idag är bilden en annan och kustzonen har blivit allt mer attraktiv som permanentbostadsort. Detta ställer nya krav på både miljön och bebyggelsen i kustlandskapet.

Recent years there has been discussed how the critical situation in the housing market threatens the Stockholm region's growth. The thesis objective is to examine whether there is a scientific link between the lack of housing supply and growth. The thesis also intends to identify solutions for increased housing construction, for instance by examining the conditions for a greater regional perspective and influence on the region's housing supply. The thesis empirical study is based on semi-structured interviews with representatives from the Government, municipalities and the housing industry.In Sweden, research on the relationship between housing shortages and growth has not been conducted to that extent it can be said to exist scientific evidence regarding the growth threat. However, in Britain and the U.S, empirical studies show that a lack of housing supply has hindered growth through negative impact on countries' gross domestic product.

Datorspelsbranschen är en relativt ung bransch, både jämfört med andra delarav mjukvaruindustrin och nöjesbranschen. En av de stora utmaningarnaspelutvecklare står inför är planeringen av den långsiktiga kompetensförsörjningen.Dock saknas sammanställda historiska data och applicerbararesursestimeringsmetoder, vilket gör detta arbete näst intill omöjligt. Det förstadelmålet med den här studien är att samla in historiska data angående strukturenoch storleken på utvecklingsteam som utvecklat AAA-spel (professionelltutvecklade spel med en hög budget) för pc-datorer. Datan samlas in frånkreditlistor hämtade via webbsidan Mobygames.com. Det andra delmålet beståri att utreda huruvida den insamlade datan kan appliceras på modeller förestimering av framtida personalbehov.

Due to the growing population in Stockholm, some of the urban green areas are beingsubjected to exploitation. Hammarbyskogen is an urban forest in the south of Stockholm andis an example of a green area that is planned to be transformed into an urban environment.This paper investigates key qualities and values of an urban forest of Hammarbyskogenvalued by local inhabitants of the neighbourhoods of Hammarbyhöjden and Björkhagen in thesouth of Stockholm. In addition to that, the study seeks to investigate people?s perception ofthe planned development of the forest as well as investigate how these perceptions andqualities are being incorporated into the process of neighbourhood development.Using text analysis, interviews and discussion forums, findings have been made showing thatthe local inhabitants value the urban forest mostly for its ecological and recreational qualities.Regarding perception of the change, people are either positive or negative to the developmentwhich can be explained by people?s experienced sense of place and place attachment of thearea and the forest itself. The study has also shown that the urban planners rely on localinhabitants? view, as well as on expert knowledge during the process of planning.The results of the study contributes to a better understanding of why and for what purposesurban forests are important for the city dwellers..

We were assigned to do this master thesis by Husqvarna AB who at the time for this thesis just had implemented a new material and production planning system called Replenishment system. Husqvarna AB wanted us to examine the effects of their new planning system to see if it was profitable or not. Husqvarna AB had for a time considered their delivery and supplier service to bee their biggest problem and they wanted to solve this problem by improving the communication with all involved actors in the logistic chain, which they hoped would result in a better mix of products in their warehouses. The aim of this report was therefor to analyze eventual effects for Husqvarna AB when changing from a traditional material- and production planing system to a more information intensive one. The result of this report showed effects on decreasing administrational routines and improved flexibility and lead-times.
