2. SUMMARY A small garden exposed to a harsh coastal climate can be difficult to design. Limitations in space and in plant varieties increase the needs of an in-depth knowledge to achieve wanted goals. In this degree project the challenge has been to create a functional and position adapted garden for a very small beach house lot in Mölle, a little harbour village at the south coast of Kullaberg. ?Villa Malm?, is situated directly on the bedrock in a close settlement where the gardens, in most cases are very small and exposed to strong salty winds.

The bicycle is an individual means of transport. Many people prefer to cycle over short distances and in congested areas rather than take travel by car or public transport. This is a study of the use of bicycle as an option for commuting to work. It is a comparison between three cities: Stockholm, Copenhagen and London. The comparison is focused on solutions that benefit commuter cyclist and performed by studying cycle policies and other related documents.

The subject of this paper is the congestion tax in Stockholm, Sweden. The study has been conducted with the purpose to examine of how public attitudes towards congestion charging looks and the reason behind the attitude. And also to examine if there are any differences in attitudes between those living inside and outside the payment zones, between men and women and between car owners and those who do not own a car or have a driver's license. The study used a questionnaire sent out electronically to a group of friends of friends and of friends? family members.

Miljonprogrammets kommande energiupprustning blir allt mer akut samtidigt som energipriserna i Sverige trappas upp. Med miljötänkets renässans och dagens energikonsumtion är det viktigt att såväl befintliga som nyproducerade fastigheter anpassas och energieffektiviseras. Arbetet grundar sig i den försvarbara investeringen av upprustningen på miljonprogrammets hus samt den rådande bostadsbristen i Stockholm.   I rapporten kan läsaren följa utvecklandet av ett påbggnadsförslag i centrala Stockholm. Förslaget beskrivs utifrån arbetets 3 grundpelare planering, konstruktion och energi. Syftet är att undersöka om en påbyggnad av fastigheten Linjalen 8 är möjlig. Vidare att undersöka om påbyggnaden kan anpassas för en hållbar framtid och exemplifiera energieffektiviseringar.

Jag har valt att placera operan i Frihamnen för jag tror att det är bra för stadens utveckling att flytta ut viktiga byggnader så att innerstaden får växa ochde nya bostadsområderna får en egen, attraktiv karaktär. Operan skulle bli en samlingplats och knutpunkt för den nya värtastaden och skapa ett flöde fråninnerstan till Frihamnen, vilket skulle gynna verksamheter i området och leda till en blandning av bostäder och olika verksamheter..

Någonting händer i Stockholm, någonting strävar uppåt. Staden som tidigare utvidgat sig genom nya förorter och nya kollektivtrafiknät har bytt riktning. Det är inte längre de horisontella spåren som sträcker sig ut från stadskärnan som visar vägen för expanderingen. Det är en ny längtan efter vertikala riktningar där staden förtätas på höjden. Stockholm har tagit sikte mot himlen. Den stad jag föddes och växte upp i håller sakta på att förändras, detta är något jag är säker på.

This is a study to see the relationship between earnings per share and dividends during a period of both boom and depression. The study will focus on companies listed on Stockholm stock exchange and see if they follow theories from the past and if the dividend is smooth over times with a fluctuant economy. To see this we had this problem:Is it a relationship between earnings per share and dividend during a fluctuant economy, also if there is a difference between the different Caps on Stockholm stock exchange?We studied 163 stocks of the 293 listed stock on Stockholm stock exchange during a period of 8 years. The study is focused on the time period between year 2005 and year 2012.

Densification is one of the urban visions for sustainable development - a vision that has become a part of the solution to the unsustainable sake dilemma. With the dense city land will be saved, energy consumption reduced and social cohesion improved. The dense city is considered to be ecologically, economically and socially sustainable. Applying an urban design concept has thus proven to be problematic. Density has been found to be a complex concept which is far more complicated than measuring how much built surface that needs to be covered. It is also not disputed what different degrees of densification mean and whether densification in itself is sustainable.

Kadmiumkällor och risker med exponering för kadmium beskrivs. Svenska nationella och Stockholms kommunala miljömål som rör kadmium gås igenom och analyseras ur olika aspekter. Två olika modeller för flödesanalyser beskrivs och jämförs. Beräkningar för kadmiumflöden i Stockholm 1995 genomförs enligt den ena flödesmodellen. Beräkningarna redovisas i ett Microsoft Excelark tillsammans med några enkla analysverktyg.

På Riddarholmen idag finns ett mycket begränsat utbud på publikt tillgängliga byggnader. Tots ett centralt läge och en attraktiv kulturmiljö, är det få Stockholmare som hittar till ön. Genom att bygga ett Musikens hus för amatörmusik intill Riddarholmskyrkan, förbättras Riddarholmens publika miljö, samtidigt som det skapas en god plattform för amatörmusiken i Stockholm. Satsas det idag på den marginaliserade amatörmusiken, ges förutsättningar för att i morgon ha en livskraftig och kompetent muikscen i Stockholm..

Urban planning is not only a matter of architectural trends; it is first and foremost political. This thesis seeks to understand the links between political ideas and visions for the city and the physical structure of the city. The study aims to construct a model to help understand these links, a helpful tool in analysing a city, focusing on the one hand at the physical structure of what I call "The City as a Welfare Provider" and on the other hand at "The City as a Growth Engine". It also sets out to test this model in an empirical study of Stockholm and the soon-to-be built district of Norra Station in the same city.The analysis shows that Stockholm has ambitions to be a welfare provider to its citizens, but have also adopted to a discourse of interurban competition which stresses the importance for the city to enhance economical growth. What is interesting is that the physical structures promoted in the planning documents of Stockholm are nearly exclusively those associated with the model of "The City as a Growth Engine"..

This essay deals with a picture-stone that was found in a pre Christian grave during the archaeological excavations of the Viking Age harbour and trading place at Fröjel parish, Gotland, in 1999. The stone is at least 100 years older then the male grave in which it was found. The picture-stone can be dated to  late 8th century or early 9th century, and the grave is probably from the late 10th century. One of the main questions in this essay is why the people of that time re-used an older picture-stone in a younger burial. I believe that the stone was reused as a grave-gift.

The City of Stockholm has decided to invest in renewable energy and especially in photovoltaics. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the photovoltaic potential on roof areas that the city possesses and to further investigate some buildings of the Property Management Department. The thesis also compares some existing photovoltaic plants with the solar irradiance map which shows available roof area on each building in Stockholm. The report ends with a literature study about the climate impact and greenhouse gas emissions of photovoltaic.The total available roof area suitable for photovoltaic plants is estimated to 700 000 m2, with a potential electricity production of 110 GWh per year. This corresponds to 17 % of the City of Stockholm?s yearly electricity consumption.
