Landsbygdsprogrammet och översiktlig planering i några västsvenska kommuner.
En diskursanalys
The rural development programme is a tool for promoting sustainable development in the Swedish countryside. The master plan should, for example, give directions for the national interest and describe how it will follow up national and regional targets such as the EU's environmental quality standards. Because the municipality has considerable freedom to formulate the plan in its sole discretion, and that it contains the municipality's political vision, it is also feasible to make a discourse analysis of the plan text.In discourse analysis, including articles and documents written by Rural Network Working Group on land use planning to be included. The purpose of discourse analysis is to see if there are differences in the way rural areas are described and if there are any flaws in how the designer interprets the rural development programme. Furthermore, the analysis result in tools that are adapted to the standards we create and choose.The standards we have are being designed based on our values, which differ. The standards, problems and values that are created are not always the only or best way to relate to a concept. It is that this work should take a position in the countryside. And the critical discourse analysis is used not only to examine the texts and discourses, but also to contribute to the debate on the ways and tools we should use for shaping a better society.
