This theisis aims to expand the understanding of how the termination of Östran local editorial staff is effecting the municipality politics and organisation orientated substance of the rivale newspaper Barometern when it becomes a monopoly news paper. I examine if the hypothesis in consideration of the press investigation of 1972 will occur through a quantitative analysis of selected articles in Barometern and Östran in 2010 and 2014. I examine if the information will be insufficient, if it will be a monopoly of opinion formation, if the investigative journalism will be suffering and if the group communication will be worse.With this analysis it becomes clear that the news paper Barometern cover less of the municipality politics and organisation orientated substance when it is a competive news paper. My analysis shows us that the information will not be insufficient, it will not be a monopoly of opinion formation, the investigative journalism will not be suffering and the group communication will be worse when Östrans local editorial staff is terminated. .

Lund who has over 90 systems in 12 departments and now wants to streamline the management of these IT systems. Governance of IT systems is something that Lund would treat as it carried a large amount of changes in their practices, where the control is something missed in trying to standardize their systems. What's missing for Lund Municipality is routine to fall back on in order to streamline the management when they get into these complex situations.Given that Lund treat so many systems make it so that the situation quickly becomes very complex due of the organization's structure. The municipality is divided into twelve departments that have their own goals, it is an organization that is organized, which makes creating standards become complicated when all departments have different needs. Our study was based on a framework that deals with complex environments that lack a clear definition.An analysis was conducted where we started from the theory associated with the interviews conducted in which we aimed to understand their decision and understand the processes that affect system development.

Det finns idag en påtaglig bostadsbrist i Stockholmsområdet och detta samtidigt som regionen förväntas få en kraftig inflyttning de kommande tjugo åren. Krav finns på kommunerna att friställa byggbar mark för ny bostadsbebyggelse. Detta arbete konkritiserar problemet genom en fallstudie av gammal industrimark som snart kommer att friställas för bostads- och verksamhetsbebyggelse. Fallstudien görs på Bergs oljehamn i Nacka kommun. Under det senaste decenniet har nyexploatering av hamnmark skett nationellt i Sverige liktväl som regionalt i Stockholmsregionen.

We have done eight qualitative interviews with politicians and employees in Malmö municipality and a quantitative content analysis of reference documents from both the Malmö and Swedish governments.

Examensarbetet syftar till att redovisa hur fyra olika kommuner i Stockholmsområdet, Huddinge, Nacka, Sollentuna och Vallentuna, arbetar med prioriteringar och initiala tidsplaner för samhällsbyggnadsprojekt. Syftet är även att göra en studie över hur väl initiala uppskattningar i samband med planuppdrag för detaljplanearbetets tidsåtgång stämmer överens med verkligt utfall.Sveriges kommuner ansvarar för fysisk planering och ska se till att kommunen tillfredsställer behovet av bostäder och allmänna funktioner. Rutinerna för hur prioriteringar för samhällsbyggnadsprojekt utförs och redovisas varierar stort mellan kommunerna. Huddinge framställer årligen ett av kommunfullmäktige antaget styrdokument som avser tre år och omfattar både prioriteringar projekten sinsemellan och tidsplaner för respektive projekt. Både aktiva och framtida projekt redovisas i dokumentet.

The purpose of this essay was to study the implementation of a policy document, which concerns questions of integration, in a municipality with an indirect government. I have especially focused on issues regarding how civil servants describe the usage of a specific policy document and to what extent their autonomy and the indirect government have had an impact on implementation, and to what extent signals from surrounding institutions have had an impact on the creation of the policy document. The study was based on qualitative interviews in groups, pairs and with single individuals with twenty-seven civil servants and politicians working with issues concerning the specific policy document.One of the conclusions of my study is that the reason for producing the document in the first place is that the municipality as an organization strives to acquire a sense of legitimacy. The intentions of the document have only partly been implemented by the civil servants and politicians, since the document is not used in their daily work. Here, their autonomy has played an important part, as the choice to not use the document is the servants' own.

Detta examensarbete har utförts i samverkan med Miljö- och stadsbyggnad, miljöenheten, Nacka kommun, med syfte att utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer undersöka hur spårbarheten av livsmedel fungerar ute i verksamheten. För att undersöka hur spårbarheten fungerar hos livsmedelsföretagare valdes sex stycken objekt ut; två tillverkare, två stora detaljhandlare samt två små detaljhandlare. Anledningen till att just dessa objekt valdes ut var för att man skulle få en överblick över hur spårbarheten fungerar inom samma bransch samt kunna jämföra olika branscher med varandra. Kunskapen om spårbarhet skiljer sig åt branschmässigt, där detaljhandlarna har en bättre förståelse för vad spårbarhet innebär. Inom samma bransch har de stora detaljhandlarna fler och bättre utformade kontrollsystem för spårbarhet än vad de små detaljhandlarna har. Trots att kunskapen om spårbarhet skiljer sig mellan tillverkare samt stor och liten detaljhandel har alla någon form av uppfattning om vad spårbarhet innebär i praktiken och för dem som livsmedelsföretagare. .

This study aimed to explore the perceived role and mandate of civil servants employed in municipalities in Kronoberg county. The study aimed to answer the question whether civil servants engaged in municipal economics have different perspectives on their mandate and role based on how said civil servants implement and manage policy tools available in Swedish municipalities. The study aimed to through policy tools theory explain how civil servants through four categories view the policy tools employed in the municipality. The study is based on the reasoning that policy tools influences exercise of authority that in turn influences view on policy tools. In order to study civil servants perspective on perceived mandate and role interviews were conducted with a sample of civil servants from each of the eight municipalities in Kronoberg county.

A lot of houses built during the Million Homes Programme are in need of major renovation. Today?s technology and materials are better than in the 60?s and 70?s. Both Swedish government and the European Union have set climate goals regarding energy consumption by 2020 and 2050. Achieving these goals would require better standards in buildings than the Building regulations demands, such as Umeå municipality?s construction requirements for new buildings.The report aims to investigate if a renovation of apartment buildings from the Million Homes Programme can reach Umeå municipality?s construction requirements.

Numerous studies have showed that Swedish municipalities are responsible for several of the activities that concern children and their rights, e.g. school and health care. Furthermore, the Convention of the Rights of the Child is an international agreement that Sweden has signed and ratified which also implies the obligations that Swedish municipalities have. The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare, from a social justice perspective, how children?s rights are being emphasized and how children?s opinions are being taken into consideration at the municipality level in Sweden.
