Analysis of Traffic Patterns for Large Scale Outdoor Events a Case Study of Vasaloppet Ski Event in Sweden Analysis of Traffic Patterns for Large Scale Outdoor Events A Case Study of Vasaloppet Ski Event in Sweden By Parisa Ahmadi 2011-09-12 Examiner: Professor Haris Koutsopoulos Supervisor: Mahmood Rahmani Department of Transport and Logistic Royal Institute of Technology 2011 [ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC PATTERNS FOR LARGE SCALE OUTDOOR EVENTS ] Abstract Vasaloppet is a cross country ski event which has been held in Sweden for about 50 years. Now more than 50,000 people of different ages participate in various cross country ski races during the Vasaloppet winter week in Dalarna County. This increasing demand needs good traffic and transportation planning to avoid congestion and provide safe, on time and environmentally friendly transportation for participants and visitors to the area. The key for a good event traffic planning is reliable and up-to-date traffic data which is not available for the Vasaloppet winter week. This study is an attempt to collect traffic data in order to find the movement patterns in the area and estimate origin-destination matrices for the main event of Vasaloppet week. Based on resources and time limitation it was decided to use a web-based participants’ survey in order to collect traffic data. The link to the survey was sent to email address of a sample of 5000 participants. About 64% of the participants drove from their home town to the area and about 31 percent travelled by bus. Train and airplane have a very small share in travel mode to the area. Malung- sälen, Mora and Älvdalen are three municipalities in Dalarna County with the highest share in accommodating participants. On the day of the race, bus and car have approximately the same share in travel mode with 45% and 47% respectively.

It is well known that athletes from a specific region or country are dominating certain sports disciplines such as marathon running or Ironman triathlon; however, little relevant information exists on cross-country skiing. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the aspect of region and nationality in one of the largest cross-country skiing marathons in Europe, the “Engadin Ski Marathon.” All athletes ( = 197,125) who finished the “Engadin Ski Marathon” between 1998 and 2016 were considered. More than two-thirds of the finishers (72.5% in women and 69.6% in men) were Swiss skiers, followed by German, Italian, and French athletes in both sexes. Most of the Swiss finishers were from Canton of Zurich (20.5%), Grisons (19.2%), and Berne (10.3%).

Det finns nu 1 956 tätorter i Sverige. År 2010 upphörde 29 områden som tätorter på grund av minskad befolkning. 12 tätorter slogs samman med annan tätort och i en tätort är andelen fritidshus för hög för att den skall klassificeras som tätort. Flest nya tätorter har tillkommit i Stockholms län (16 st) och Skåne län (10 st). En tätort definieras kortfattat som ett område med sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Ingen hänsyn tas till kommun- eller länsgränser. 85 procent av landets befolkning bor i tätort År 2010 bodde 8 016 000 personer i tätorter, vilket motsvarar 85 procent av Sveriges hela befolkning. Tätortsbefolkningen ökade med 383 000 personer mellan 2005 och 2010. Störst har ökningen varit i Stockholms län, följt av Skå- ne och Västra Götaland län. Sju tätorter har fler än 100 000 invånare – Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Upp- sala, Västerås, Örebro och Linköping. Där bor sammanlagt 28 procent av Sveri- ges befolkning. Av samtliga tätorter har 118 stycken fler än 10 000 invånare och 795 stycken färre än 500 invånare. Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolkningstätheten mätt som invånare per km2 har ökat från 1 446 till 1 491 under perioden.

  • Tourism, Seasonality and the Attraction of Youth
    19 Tourism, Seasonality and the Attraction of Youth Tara Duncan, Maria Thulemark, and Peter Möller The Myth/s Tourism is often perceived as a saviour to rural parts of the north, creat- ing a myth of tourism as a panacea for development in rural areas, includ- ing mountain tourism destinations in northern Sweden. Tourism often gives hope to small communities and stakeholders, including local and regional government, entrepreneurs and local community groups, who endeavour to support, start and develop tourism industries to become successful, growing tourism destinations. At the same time, rural com- munities are seen as sleepy and unattractive for young adults leading to high rates of out-migration and distorted population development. Whilst strong growth of tourism in rural areas can lead to increased employment with high demand for labour, these new jobs are often sea- sonal. In spite of the acknowledged pluriactivity of those who live in northern areas (Dubois and Carson 2019), the seasonality of these jobs T. Duncan (*) • M. Tulemark • P. Möller Dalarna University, Falun, Sweden e-mail: [email protected] © Te Author(s) 2020 373 L. Lundmark et al. (eds.), Dipping in to the North, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6623-3_19 374 T. Duncan et al. gives birth to another myth: that these jobs do not lead to positive com- munity development. Alongside the employment of locals, an infux of (young) seasonal employees, often from other parts of the Sweden, who only stay for a few months, who tend to only spend time with each other, and who pay taxes somewhere else, reafrms the myth that season tour- ism jobs lead to an inevitable lack of connection to the local, rural community.

  • Meyer's Accent Contours Revisited
    TMH-QPSR Vol. 44 – Fonetik 2002 Meyer’s accent contours revisited Olle Engstrand1 and Gunnar Nyström2 1Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University 2Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research (SOFI), Uppsala Abstract Do E.A. Meyer’s tonal word accents contours from the Swedish dialects provide a reliable basis for quantitative analysis? Measurements made on acute and grave tone-peaks in a number of dialects spoken in the province of Dalarna suggested that the timing of grave tonal peaks tended to vary systematically from south-east to north-west. The former dialects had relatively late and the latter relatively early tone-peaks. This finding suggests that Meyer’s accent data may be sufficiently accurate to reflect systematic variation within broad dialect areas. Implications for the historical development of the Dalarna dialects are discussed. Introduction Several decades ago, E.A. Meyer compiled his pioneering survey of tonal word accent contours in 100 Swedish dialects (Meyer 1937, 1954). Pitch curves were automatically generated using a pitch meter that Meyer himself had invented. The original pitch curves are thus likely to be quite accurate. To enhance the dialect-specific tonal characteristics, the original contours were time-normalized, averaged and smoothed by Figure 1. Tonal contours representing the eye. These schematized contours were arranged Central Swedish dialects (Stockholm, upper by province and displayed on charts. panel) and the Dalarna dialects (Leksand, lower The Meyer contours have proved useful in panel). establishing accent-based dialect typologies In this paper, the question is raised whether the (Gårding 1977, Bruce & Gårding 1978, Öhman Gårding and Bruce scheme can be elaborated to 1967).
