This study was an assignment for the company Holmen which is located in the region of Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. The study was focusing on the responsibilities of a forestry planner during the planning season. The study was investigating about how much time the planner spent in the office, in the car and out in the forest. Any other issues that would cause delays were also identified. To be more effective and to increase the number of objects to a district bank, a better preparation in the planning stage (for thinning?s or clear cuts) is needed as well as faster transition on to the next area.

Sammanfattning Analys Marieholm ligger i ett storskaligt landskap i Göta älvs dalgång endast 3km nordöst från Göteborgs centrum. Denna lokalisering sågs som ocentral när området exploaterades i början av 1900-talet. Sedan dess har Göteborg vuxit och Marieholms läge anses nu mer centralt. Den industriella användningen har format området vilket får en rad konsekvenser. Kommunikationerna domineras av bil och tågtrafik med motorvägen mot Karlstad som det dominerande inslaget.

To have a tool that guides you when you work with a complex system can be helpful since the complexity of the work can be reduced. In this thesis I explore the possibilities to use a helper application whilst planning installations of access control systems. The purpose of the application is to provide support during the planning and at the same time make the user aware of the limitations that exist in the access control system ARX Access. By combining early user input and the theory of formativity, the result became an application written in Java..

This paper describes the integration of environmental assessment in Swedish municipality comprehensive planning through a chosen case study. The implementation of a new EGdirective in Swedish law, concerning Assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment, should lead to some changes in the way Swedish municipalities' deals with environmental issues in their comprehensive plans. This could later on lead to new preconditions for municipality comprehensive planning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the planning organisation in the municipality adapts to new regulations for impact assessment of comprehensive plans required by the Planning and Building act. Secondly the purpose was to partly participate in the early stages of the planning process and thereby indicate and identify possible environmental impacts regarding the aspects of land and water. This was done as a case study in a well defined part of the process.

The Swedish forestry aims primarily maximize production and economical wins. However, especially urban forests have great qualities as space for recreation and children?s play, which means that other goals should lead the forests management. The Teleborg forest is a wooded area in Växjö, surrounded by urban dwellings, schools, nurseries etc. A great part of the forest was wind felled during the storm Gudrun in 2005 which changed the forest, earlier dominated by spruce, dramatically.

Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka hur den spatiala organisationen av artefakter påverkar överrapportering mellan sjukvårdspersonal på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Syftet äratt kunna förstå överrapporteringsprocessen mellan sjuksköterskor och de artefakter de har tillsitt förfogande och att ge förslag på strukturförbättringar så att dessa överrapporteringar kan effektiviseras både tid- och energimässigt. Det leder till studiens andra syfte, nämligen att ge förslag på hur en gemensam arbetsyta vid överrapporteringar, ett så kallat worktable, skulle kunna arbetas fram. Resultatet av denna studie visar att det inte finns en given struktur för hur överrapporteringar ska genomföras och därför finns det inte heller en bestämd ordning över artefakters spatiala organisation. I slutet av denna rapport ges det förslag på vilka funktioner ett framtida gemensamt arbetsbord borde innefatta..

?Street prostitution, why there?? is about how the physical planning and physical environment affect the localization of street prostitution in Gothenburg. The aim is to increase the understanding of how social security is linked to man's immediate environment and are influenced by the physical environment. Important concepts that are explained in the paper are social security, prostitution, and physical planning.This study deals with theories about the factors that may influence why criminality localized to a specific area, such as legislation, urban planning and community. The study conducted interviews with the Gothenburg Police, Västra Götaland County Administrative Board, Gothenburg City, Stadsmissionen and Mikamottagningen.

This case study, ?The sense of place in a courtyard in Gothenburg?, examines whether the city planners? vision correspond to the residents? perception regarding the sense of place and the physical environment in a courtyard in Gothenburg. By carrying out a questionnaire survey, the inhabitants? perception has been explicated, which we have then compared to the total vision for the design of the courtyard that we have gathered from doing interviews with the planning executive, the developer and the landscape architect as well as reviewing the development plan. The study has shown that the vision coincides relatively well with the residents? perception, but it differenciates when it comes to social aspects.

Rädsla och otrygghet på offentliga platser har studerats mycket sedan början av 2000-talet och då främst utifrån ett jämställdhetsperspektiv där kvinnors upplevda otrygghet, oro och rädsla för brott har varit i fokus. Att kvinnor har varit i fokus för trygghetsforskningen är ingen slump då kvinnor i större utsträckning än män historiskt har gett och ger uttryck för sin rädsla och otrygghet på offentliga platser. Trots Sveriges strävan mot ett jämställt samhälle så finns det få svenska studier som tittar närmare på hur män upplever otrygghet på offentliga platser, vilket har gjort att männen i princip har varit exkluderade ifrån svensk trygghetsforskning och trygghetsplanering. Ämnet för uppsatsen är mäns upplevda otrygghet på offentliga platser och syftet är att undersöka mäns upplevelser av otrygghet på offentliga platser, vilka platser som upplevs som otrygga och varför de upplevs som otrygga, samt hur dessa platser förhåller sig till de platser där flest brott begås. Syftet är vidare att undersöka hur kvinnor upplever de platser som männen har pekat ut som otrygga för att kunna dra slutsatser kring eventuella skillnader mellan män och kvinnor i upplevelsen av otrygghet.

Stockholms stad förväntas fram till 2030 öka sin befolkningsmängd med 150 000 nya invånare. Därmed uppkommer behov av att också grannskapsförorterna expanderar. Kan en relativt kraftig expansion ske i dessa förorter och hur bör i så fall dess struktur och form att förändras? Förortsutbyggnaden i Stockholm skedde i en expansiv tid, då det fanns en stark misstro mot staden som fenomen. Grannskapsförorterna, uppförda från 1940-talet till mitten av 60-talet, planerades efter ett lantligt ideal, med naturen som övergripande system där människans behov av vila skulle tillgodoses.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att studera och analysera hur möten mellan olika människor och livsstilar sker på offentliga plaster och stråk i centrala Malmö. Examensarbetet belyser begreppen offentligt rum, möten, livsstil, identitet och försöker ge svar på varför det är viktigt att människor med olika bakgrund och kultur möts, och vad det kan få för konsekvenser om möten inte sker, samt hur stadens offentliga rum kan utformas för att gynna sådana möten. Examensarbetet baseras på litteraturstudier samt egna betraktelser och iakttagelser vid besök i Malmö. Arbetet inleds med en kortfattad beskrivning om industristaden Malmös förvandlig till kunskapsstad. Därefter följer en utveckling av teorier och begrepp kring möten, livsstil och rum. Vidare följer beskrivningar och analyser av två centrala områden i Malmö; Ribersborgsstranden - Västra hamnen - Stapelbäddsparken (område A) och Stortorget - Lilla torg - Gustav Adolfs torg ? Möllevångstorget - samt stråket mellan dessa platser (område B).

This study aims to analyze the risks with building new households between railroads and shore, the focus of the study lays on Öbacka strand in Umeå municipality. The study also investigate if a land use conflict has taken place and how it was handled.The paper is based on different documents that was central for the work of planning the households and some interviews with operators that was highly involved with the planning of the area.The results shows that there is several risks with establishing new household between railroads and shores. Mainly because of the exposure of noise from the railways, though the risk for impact on the living environment for animals were low in this case there is a generally risk that it could get negative effects. It also a very important that the availability to the shore is secured. Planning in this type of area involves a great number of operators can easily cause a conflict due to the different perspectives on how the land should be used in the future, and also because of protecting different interests.

Democracy is now a legitimate claim not only in the society but even in the classrooms. According to the 1994 Curriculum for the Non-Compulsory School System, Lpf 94 in Sweden, are all pupils in all types of schools ought to have a high level of possibilities to be able to influence their education. But many studies have led to unsatisfactory results about the actual situation in schools. Swedish students are critical of the limited opportunities they have in influencing their own learning process. This essay is only one among the many studies that have dealt with school democracy during the last 50 years.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how municipalities handle planning of megaprojects. The term megaproject here refers to a large project in terms of time, space, investments, numbers of agents etc. With an increasing importance of the phenomena the need of discussing the role local politics could take in this process is important.How do municipalities handle the difficulties that come with megaprojects and what roles do they take in their work with megaprojects? These empirical questions are tested on a case where the municipality of Lund works with the megaproject European Spallation Source (ESS). A theoretical question discusses the megaproject in the light of governance and government, and structures the analysis around these two important terms.Different parts of the municipality handle there part of the planning from there own logic.

SCA is the largest private owned forest owner in Sweden, with an ownership of 2 million hectares of productive forestland. To manage the planning of such large areas and to fit the traditional organization structure of a Swedish forest company, the planning approach is subdivided into three stages; strategic, tactical and operational. The strategic part, based on a statistic sample of stands, returns a harvest level estimate which should then be implemented at actual sites in the tactical part. This procedure can lead to incompatible solutions as the strategic solution is not necessarily possible to translate into actual sites in the tactical plan. The geographic aspect is important in tactical planning due to the large costs for moving equipment and maintenance of a large number of forest roads.
