Tycho Hedéns Väg in Uppsala has evolved from being a through fare passage and highwayto the oversized road frame running through the city it is today. At the present time, dueto the relocation of the E4 highway east of Uppsala, Tycho Hedéns road creates a barrierbetween the north eastern area of Uppsala and the remaining parts of the city centre. Theroad is designed to endure heavy traffic and high speed limits, generating a surrounding urbanarea were inhabitants are complied to follow the standards set for a high traffic-accessibleenvironment. Furthermore, the heavy traffic has led to the turning of both urban roadsidesaway from the actual road. The aim of this project and proposal is to show the possibilities ofhow the innate features of Tycho Hedéns road can be used more advantageously to mend thecity area of Uppsala.

Beslutet om att bygga Uppsala Konsert och Kongress har varit ett omdebatterat ämne i Uppsala där kritik har framförts mot bland annat de kalkyler som varit en del av beslutsunderlaget till investeringen. Kritiker uttryckte att om beslutsfattarna hade fått en mer rättvisande bild av intäkterna och kostnaderna, hade beslutet om att uppföra byggnaden aldrig gått igenom. Att det fanns frågetecken kring kalkylerna bekräftades av en kort genomgång av dem, då det visade sig att stora poster i den inte hade specificerats.Med bakgrund av detta är syftet att svara på frågorna på vilket sätt kalkylunderlaget för driftsverksamheten varit bristfälligt samt vad som kan ha legat bakom detta. Materialet som använts för att svara på frågorna har varit en intervju med personen som varit ansvarig för kalkylerna samt dokumenten som haft anknytning till investeringskalkylerna, i form av rapporter och verksamhetsbeskrivningar, som varit en del av beslutsunderlaget.Slutsatsen är att kalkylunderlaget för driftsverksamheten, som presenterades inför beslutet om att bygga Uppsala Konsert och Kongress, har varit bristfälligt på flera punkter och att detta kan ha påverkats av flera faktorer såsom personliga intressen och förväntningar. Detta innebar i sin tur att beslutet om att bygga Uppsala Konsert och Kongress kom att fattas på ofullständiga grunder..

Team Sportia Uppsala misstänker att de saknar en röd tråd i sin marknadskommunikation. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur väl Team Sportia Uppsalas kundklubbsmedlemmars uppfattning om företagets image överensstämmer med identiteten företaget vill förmedla, med fokus på produktutbudet. Med hjälp av en personlig intervju med Fredrik Söderlund, vice VD Team Sportia Uppsala, en telefonundersökning av butikens kundklubbsmedlemmar samt en observation av butiken har identiteten samt imagen analyserats.

In the beginning of the nineties there was a change in how the voluntary sector was perceived, and the significance of their work became reevaluated and more acknowledged. As a result, this sector gained a new and higher interest. The changes and downsizing in the welfare state with economic crises, due to political cutback, made the politicians look fore new solutions. One solution is to encourage cooperation between the public sector and the voluntary sector in order to handle the different needs of individuals.Uppsala community and the voluntary sector are working closely together within a project called ?God Livsmiljö?.

Denna uppsats behandlar ämnet OPS och de kringliggande områden som har varit av intresse för att studera valda delar, av upphandlingen och konstruktionen av samarbetet mellan kommunen och privata aktörer, kring Uppsala Arena. De ämnesområden som aktualiseras i huvudsak är; den kommunala kompetensen, statstöd och formerna för olika typer av upphandling inom EU. Resultatet visar att Arenaprojektet i Uppsala är att betrakta som en byggkoncession. Dessutom har konstaterats att kommunen kan ha agerat utanför den kommunala kompetensen och att stödet mycket väl kan utgöra ett otillbörligt statstöd. Faktumet att Uppsala kommun inte ansökte om godkännande från EU kommissionen för sitt stöd till Arenaprojektet kan ses som en lärdom för andra kommuner som planerar att genomföra liknande projekt, då detta agerande med största sannolikhet avskräcker privata aktörer, med den ökade risk det medför..
