I och med den lagförändring som trädde i kraft den 1 januari 2004, då räddningstjänstlagen ersattes av lagen om skydd mot olyckor, lades större vikt på den enskildes ansvar. Ägare eller nyttjanderättshavare av byggnader och anläggningar ska själva ansvara för säkerheten, vilket innebär ett större behov av kunskap inom området. Luftfartsverket, som tidigare hållit utbildningar internt inom brand, räddning och säkerhet, har nu valt att lansera denna tjänst till externa kunder, för att bättre kunna nyttja den kunskap och arbetskraft de besitter. Vi har fått i uppdrag av Luftfartsverket att undersöka attityder till och behov av utbildningar inom brand, räddning och säkerhet hos potentiella kunder.Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur behoven av utbildningar inom brand, räddning och säkerhet ser ut hos de potentiella kunderna Scandic Karlstad, Fryksdalens Sparbank samt ICA Maxi Karlstad. Genom att ställa kundernas behov mot hur utformningen av den kommande tjänsten är tänkt att se ut har vi för avsikt att identifiera eventuella brister i hur väl de överensstämmer och genom det få fram hur Luftfartsverket kan använda sig av den informationen för att presentera en attraktiv tjänst och därigenom skapa nöjda kunder.Vår studie baseras på teorier kring marknadsföring och innovationer.

The world?s growing need for energy together with a desire to ward off the worst consequences of global climate change has resulted in a never seen desire to invest resources in renewable energy sources. Biogas production through anaerobic digestion is one of those growing energy sources. In Sweden there are over two hundred plants that uses this biological process to break down organic substances while producing carbon dioxide and the energy-rich gas methane.This master?s thesis has focused on development of the mixture of different organic substances that is treated at a specific plant, namely Mosserud biogas plant.

This master thesis deals with the differences in the design of the environmental scanning between different kinds of organisations, as well as the demands and regulations etc. in the respective environments that influence the environmental scanning. The content of the environmental scanning and the organisation of the function are outside the scope of this study. Two organisations that do not have an organised function but are scanning their environment were chosen for the investigation. A model for conducting the environmental scanning developed by Frankelius is used to analyse the practice of environmental scanning.

Often, the green is handled as an opposite to the built, but if it could be seen as a part of the built and the society, the planning will be easier to handle.
