The purpose of this study is to examine the accessibility with public transportation in the case of the Umeå Region in northern Sweden. This is done by GIS network analysis where both access to transit stops, as well as access by public transport from stops to Destinations is examined. An accessibility index is created from transit frequency and travel times to Destinations. The results is compared with population register data to calculate what shares of the population has which levels of accessibility with public transportation. In the Umeå Region there are different levels of accessibility by public transport for different parts of the region, where transit stops in the most densely populated areas has the highest levels of accessibility, as well as stations along the railroads.

This essay has examined how the local community is involved with the tourism development on the San Blas islands and how it effects the Destinations development. The method of choice has been a qualitative interview with an operator that offers trips to the destination. Also there has been made a literature study where previous research about the San Blas and the subjects of choice is being presented. During the writing process of this essay it has become obvious to us that the local community (Kuna Yala) is very much involved in everything that concerns the destination. We can thereby establish that the local community of San Blas can be placed on the top step of Arnsteins (1969) ?Ladder of Participation?.

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är delvis att undersöka hur de valda aktörerna, det vill säga researrangörer och resetidningar, framställer en image av en destination. Delvis att beskriva och analysera marknadsföringen av exemplet Hong Kong som turistdestination i svenska resetidningar och hos svenska researrangörer samt undersöka svenskars uppfattade image av destinationen Hong Kong.Frågeställningar:Hur skapas en image av en destination?Vilken image av Hong Kong som destination förs fram i svenska resetidningar samt i researrangörers marknadsföring?Vilken uppfattad image har svenskar av destinationen Hong Kong?Metod: I uppsatsen används en kombination av kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder. De tillvägagångssätt som används är kvalitativa intervjuer, analys av kvalitativ data samt en kvantitativ enkätundersökning.Teori: I den teoretiska referensramen diskuteras begrepp och fenomen som platser och destinationer, Destinations- och platsmarknadsföring, imageskapande agenter och Destinationsimage.Slutsats: I denna uppsats har två imageskapande aktörer studerats, och det har visats sig att processen för hur de skapar en Destinations image ser olika ut, men den image som de presenterar överensstämmer till stor del. Hong Kong presenteras som en storstadsmetropol av både researrangörerna och resetidningarna.

SammanfattningUppsatsen undersöker användandet av informationsskyltar och moderna teknologier i tolkning av kulturarv samt dess potentiella påverkan på turistens upplevelsemiljö. Syftet med studien är att få en förståelse för hur Destinations aktörer och turister uppfattar informationsskyltar och kompletterande mobila tjänster angående deras attraktivitet, hållbarhet och tillgänglighet. Mixed methods användes som tillvägagångssätt för datainsamlingen. Syftet är att identifiera eventuella problem och att upptäcka om det finns några gap mellan olika aktörer eller mellan aktörer och turister. Den kunskapen kan bidra till en förbättring av en Destinations interna och externa attraktivitet och besökarnas tillfredsställelse.Baserat på de kvalitativa intervjuerna framgår det att det finns många aktörer inblandade i produktionen och underhållet av informationsskyltar, speciellt inom offentlig sektor och att ansvarsfördelningen ofta är otydlig.

AbstractThe tourism industry has evolved to a vital factor for destination development in rural areas. This study aims to see how the tourism industry can be seen as an opportunity for development in rural areas. To be able to develop, rural areas have to be restructured and this study presents the restructuring problems that rural areas usually face and how developing tourism can be seen as a solution to these problems. Five Destinations of rural character have been investigated in this study in order to see how these restructuring problems are expressed and addressed through tourism. A key example has been used to provide a clearer image of how these problems and tourism are related to each other and how their interaction can create a positive development for rural areas in Sweden..

Det är svårt att skapa en enhetlig bild av en destination eller stad, och därför är det svårt att skapa ett Destinationsvarumärke. Destinationens image, alltså hur folk ser på destinationen och uppfattar den, kan påverka varumärkets framgång, och även tvärtom. Hur påverkar en Destinations varumärke destinationens image, och vice versa? Det är vår forskningsfråga i den här uppsatsen. Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur en Destinations image och varumärke hänger ihop och påverkar varandra.
