Slica: Arctic Living Conditions TemaNord 2015:501 TemaNord 2015:501 TemaNord Ved Stranden 18 DK-1061 Copenhagen K www.norden.org SLiCA: Arctic living conditions Living conditions and quality of life among Inuit, Saami and SLiCA: Arctic living conditions indigenous peoples of Chukotka and the Kola Peninsula The SLiCA anthology probes into the theoretical and methodological background of the SLiCA project, the research design, the ethical principles applied and introduces examples of the wealth of information available on the livelihoods and living conditions of the Inuit, Saami and the indigenous peoples of Chukotka and the Kola Peninsula, measured with quality of life criteria they themselves chose. Furthermore the anthology provides samples of analyses – including comparative and contextual studies – that can be accomplished using SLiCA data. Examples of living conditions and topics anlysed are: ’suicidal thoughts’; impacts of oil development on living conditions and quality of life; economic stratification; objective and subjective living conditions; education; gender based differences in productive activities; impacts of societal development on men’s and women’s perceptions of their contributions to their households; factors affecting migration, identity, ethnicity, and herding rights.

  • Civic Orientation in English “About Sweden” Is a Civic Orientation Handbook for Newly Arrived
    About Sweden Civic orientation in English “About Sweden” is a civic orientation handbook for newly arrived. The purpose of the book is to provide fundamental information about Sweden to people who have recently arrived in the country, as well as to provide support to municipalities in their civic orientation efforts. An ordinance governing work relating to civic orientation for newly arrived. (2010:1138) has been in force since 1 December 2010. This ordinance states that that goal of civic orientation is for participants to learn about: • human rights and fundamental democratic values, • the other rights and responsibilities of the individual, • how Swedish society is organised, and • practical aspects regarding everyday life. The ordinance also stipulates what civic orientation is to consist of. The ordinance has been used as a basis for the production of this book. “About Sweden” has been translated into eleven languages. All of these translations are available from the county administrative boards’ information portal for newly arrived, www.informationsverige.se The first edition of "About Sweden" was produced by the City of Gothenburg in 2010. The Västra Götaland County Administrative Board and the City of Gothenburg carry out regular revisions of the book together. This year’s edition, which is the seventh since 2010, has been revised by Pia Severinsson from the Västra Götaland County Administrative Board and Jakob Sandahl from the City of Gothenburg.

Abstract European cities are becoming increasingly multicultural and diverse in terms of lifestyles and socioeconomic conditions. However, in planning for sustainable urban development, implications of this increased diver- sity and possibly conflicting perspectives are seldom considered. The aim of this thesis is to explore dimensions of justice and politics in sustainable urban development by studying inclusionary/exclusionary effects of discursive power of official strategies for eco-friendly living on the one hand and everyday lifestyles on the other, in ethnically and socially diverse areas. Two case studies have been conducted, one in a city district of Stock- holm, Sweden, and one in an area of Sheffield, England. The empirical material consists of interviews with residents, interviews with planners and officials and an analysis of strategic planning documents. The case study in Stockholm illustrated the prevalence of a dominant discourse among residents in which Swedishness is connected with environmental responsibility in the form of tidiness, recycling and familiarity with na- ture. In Sheffield there are more competing and parallel environmental discourses.
