Integration of public transport planning and spatial planning in NorrkoÌping : Collaboration for achieving the same vision but with different strategies
The integration of public transport planning and spatial planning has become an internationally well-known phenomenon and is seen by planners as a fundamental prerequisite for getting more people to travel sustainably, and thus reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from the transport sector. The aim is to design the built environment in such a way that sustainable travel is promoted. Through semi-structured interviews, a document analysis, and a small field observation, this thesis examines how the municipality of NorrkoÌping and the regional public transport company OÌstgoÌtatrafiken collaborate to achieve successful integration. The aim has been to investigate how the process of this integration unfolds in the municipality of NorrkoÌping in Sweden in order to contribute with more in-depth research in a Scandinavian context. This has been analyzed from a theoretical framework of TOD, Institutional theory and Collaborative planning. The findings shows that both NorrkoÌping municipality and OÌstgoÌtatrafiken are working towards goals of increasing the share of trips with public transport, but when the purposes behind these differ, goal conflicts arise. This leads to different strategic considerations where OÌstgoÌtatrafiken wants the built environment to promote time-efficient public transportation, while the municipality of NorrkoÌping want the built environment to promote all sustainable means of transport. As a result, there are differences regarding public transport's mission, resources and priorities. As this study also shows that collaboration is the key to success, I argue that collaboration should take place as early as possible in the process, and already at the formulation of political and strategic goals.

How do you read? Iraniansâ reading in Swedish and Persian
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how people from Iran experience reading in their mother tongue, Persian, compared to how they experience reading in Swedish and if there was a difference. The questions to be answered in the thesis were: What is the dominant purpose when people read their mother tongue and when they read in Swedish. Do they read because they need information, because they want to relax or do they, when they read, reflect on their own lives? The method was qualitative, interviews were conducted with 8 Iranians living in Sweden. The theoretical background consists of a description of theories on reading and theories on language and identity. The answers from the interviews reveal that many of the individuals that were interviewed, were reading in an instrumental way, i.e. they read mainly to find information and especially so when reading in Swedish, but at the same time they do reflect on their own life when they read. The results were then compared with theories. Furhammarâs theory on reading habits with the categories âimpersonal instrumental readingâ, âimpersonal experience readingâ, âpersonal experience readingâ and âpersonal instrumental readingâ seem to correspond with the results of the study. The other theories on reading which were used, i.e. Appleyardâs theory that people seek some kind of truth when they read and Rossâ theory that people read to get emotional knowledge, did also in part correspond with the results, but not as well as Furhammarâs theory. The theories on language and identity also seemed to correspond well with the results.UppsatsnivĂ„:
Klippta hÀckar. En utvÀrdering av hÀcklaboratoriet i skoltrÀdgÄrden pÄ Johannesberg i Mariestad
Under this season I have examined, analysed and evaluated the laboratory of hedges in the
schoolgarden in Johannesberg in Mariestad. There are about 40 different sorts and varieties
which some of them are unusually and not reliabled as trimed hedges.
In this essay the primary purpose is to bring out the pros and cons of them and my hopes are
to find more alternative trees and shrubs in the using as trimed hedges. My motivation is that this essay can be used in a further purpose.Uppsats för avlÀggande av filosofie kandidatexamen i

Regional collaborations and cooperation in public transport â an overview : Collaborations between Sweden's public transport authorities
I Sverige ligger det övergripande ansvaret för planering av kollektivtrafik pĂ„ de regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheterna. Dock kan inte planeringen utfĂ€rdas av dessa i egen regi, utan krĂ€ver samverkan med en rad olika aktörer för att planeringen ska uppnĂ„ sin fulla potential. Denna studie bygger pĂ„ en kartlĂ€ggning över hur 18 av Sveriges 21 kollektivtrafikmyndigheter samverkar med varandra nĂ€r det kommer till inter-regionalt resande, det vill sĂ€ga resande över lĂ€nsgrĂ€nser. För att ta reda pĂ„ detta har en innehĂ„llsanalys genomförts av de undersökta regionernas trafikförsörjningsprogram. Resultatet visar att samtliga regioner i Sverige pĂ„ ett eller annat sĂ€tt samverkar med andra regioner, men att denna samverkan Ă€r bunden till regionernas geografiska lokalisering. Vidare spelar den geografiska lokaliseringen en stor roll för hur djup och bred regionernas samverkan med varandra kan vara. Resultatet visar Ă€ven att det rĂ„der skillnader i hur transparenta regionerna Ă€r kring regional samverkan i sina trafikförsörjningsprogram.In Sweden, the overall responsibility for public transport planning lies with the regional public transport authorities. However, planning cannot be issued by these authorities on their own but requires collaboration with a range of actors for planning to reach its full potential. This study is based on a survey of how 18 of Swedenâs 21 public transport authorities interact with each other when it comes to inter-regional travel, i.e., travel across county borders. To find out, a content analysis was carried out of the public transport policy documents of the regions studied. The results show that all regions in Sweden interact in one way or another with other regions, but that this interaction is linked to the geographical location of the regions. Furthermore, the geographical location plays a major role in the depth and breadth of the regions' interaction with each other. The results also show that there are large differences in how transparent the regions are about regional cooperation in their public transport policy documents.IngĂ„r i forskningsprogrammet âOmskalningens effekter för hĂ„llbar omstĂ€llning. 10 Ă„r med regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter som samhĂ€llsbyggareâ</p
Prisdiskriminering i en moderna fotbollsklubb - Malmö FF; en fallstudie
Hur förĂ€ndras förutsĂ€ttningarna för en svensk klubb (Malmö FF) i samband med att en ny arena byggs och organisationen i klubben vĂ€xer. Vilka nya möjligheter att bedriva effektiv prisdiskriminering gentemot sina konsumenter uppstĂ„r i samband med bygget av Swedbank stadion och den utökning av organisationen i klubben som kommer att ske? MFF:s kĂ€rnprodukt Ă€r 2 x 45 minuter fotbollsmatch och till den kan en rad tillĂ€ggsprodukter kopplas bl.a. via prisdiskrimineringsmetoderna tie-in och bundling. Möjligheterna med arenabygget delas in i tvĂ„ olika delar: dels en utökad upplevelse för klubbens konsumenter pĂ„ matchdagen och dels ett stadionomrĂ„de som lever Ă„ret runt och inte enbart dĂ„ det spelas match pĂ„ arenan. I relationen med konsumenterna skiljs pĂ„ privatkunder (vanliga fotbollssupporters) och företagskunder (frĂ€mst sponsorer och blivande hyresgĂ€ster pĂ„ Swedbank stadion). Slutsatserna frĂ„n arbetet Ă€r att det finns en rad nya omrĂ„den dĂ€r MFF kan prisdiskriminera för att öka intĂ€kterna frĂ„n sin kĂ€rnprodukt. Ăkad affĂ€rsmĂ€ssighet i verksamheten Ă€r viktig men det fĂ„r inte ske pĂ„ bekostnad av de sportsliga resultaten utan ska snarare ligga som grund för en fortsatt sportslig satsning. Skulle följderna av jakten pĂ„ nya intĂ€kter bli att MFF:s representationslag presterar sĂ€mre tappar kĂ€rnprodukten i attraktivitet och det pĂ„verkar samtliga tillĂ€ggsprodukter negativt
Handels- och fördelningseffekter av EU:s jordbrukspolitik
EU:s jordbrukspolitik och dess effekter pÄ unionens och omvÀrldens invÄnare Àr ett Àmne som ofta vÀcker debatt. NÀr man studerar effekterna pÄ medlemslÀnderna skiljer man ofta mellan budgeteffekter och handelseffekter dÀr det förstnÀmnda Àr mer frekvent förekommande bÄde i media och som föremÄl för studier. Jag har valt att studera handelseffekterna som uppstÄr till följd av att EU skyddar unionens jordbruksproduktion frÄn konkurrens utifrÄn. MedlemslÀnderna pÄverkas olika beroende pÄ hur situationen inom jordbruket och handeln med jordbruksprodukter Àr i landet. Mitt syfte Àr att se vilka av medlemslÀnderna som vinner respektive förlorar pÄ hur EU:s jordbruksprogram Àr utformat idag. I min analys anvÀnder jag data frÄn tidsperioden 1995-2004 och jag har valt att arbeta med produktgrupperna spannmÄl, kött och frukt och grönsaker. Resultaten stÀmmer överlag överens med tidigare forskning i Àmnet och bekrÀftar till stor del de teorier jag haft som utgÄngspunkt i arbetet
