Rapporten danner også grunnlag for eventuelt videre prosess fram mot en intensjonsavtale om kommunesammenslåing. PwC er hovedansvarlig for rapporten som er utarbeidet i samarbeid med våre underleverandører Stiftelsen Telemarksforsking og Burson-Marsteller AS. Oppdraget har blitt utført av et team bestående av Geir Are Nyeng, (prosjektleder), Wenche Vennes, Rolf Tørring, Geir Årset og Trond Solbakken fra PwC, Kjetil Lie og Audun Thorstensen fra Telemarksforsking, samt Peter Gitmark, Lars Vidar Gullestad og Erik Strøm fra Burson- Marsteller AS.

Vi vil benytte anledningen til å takke for et godt samarbeid i forbindelse med utredningen. Vi vil også takke ansatte og folkevalgte i kommunene som har deltatt i intervjuer, svart på kommunenes egenvurdering og bidratt med annen informasjon. Dette har vært til stor nytte i utredningsarbeidet. Med vennlig hilsen Reinholdt Bredrup Geir Are Nyeng Partner Prosjektleder © 2014 PwC. Med enerett.

  • The Story of MIT-Fablab Norway: Community Embedding of Peer Production
    Journal of Peer Production ISSN: 2213-5316 http://peerproduction.net The Story of MIT-Fablab Norway: Community Embedding of Peer Production Cindy Kohtala and Camille Bosqué Abstract: MIT-Fablab Norway was one of the first Fab Labs ever established, in northern Norway in 2002. Despite this auspicious beginning to a network that is rapidly growing, surprisingly little has been written about the genesis of the network or the Fab Lab itself. We therefore aim to contribute to this knowledge gap with a narrative account of our independent ethnographic research visits to the Lab. We combine our researcher perspectives, which are informed by, on the one hand, Aesthetics and a phenomenological understanding and, on the other, Science and Technology Studies, with Design Research bridging both. Our account aims to richly describe the Lab’s unique profile in the MIT Fab Lab network as a socially shaped entity and product of a particular time and place. Most salient in this narrative is the role of its charismatic founder, whose stories and metaphors become vehicles by which we come to understand how a Fab Lab forms its own identity, balancing the relationships with local stakeholders against those with the Fab Lab network; how it promotes certain principles and values of peer production; and how it represents itself to both maker insiders and outsiders. While situated and particular to this Lab, our interpretations may have implications for the trajectories of other Fab Labs and makerspaces, as well as our understanding of peer production as a new paradigm. Keywords: Fab Lab, ethnography, MIT-Fablab Norway, material peer production Cindy Kohtala and Camille Bosqué In spite of this emerging body of work, there remains a certain mystique that surrounds Fab Labs, their objectives and activities.

  • Lyngen Alps in the Arctic Circle Is an Expedition of a Lifetime
    Norwegian Skiing summit to sea amongst the serenity and astounding beauty of Norway’s Lyngen Alps in the Arctic Circle is an expedition of a lifetime CONQUEST + BY JULIE NIEUWENHUYS PHOTOGRAPHS BY CAROLINE VAN ’t HOFF 26 S–Magazine SNOWSPORTSCULTURE.COM SNOWSPORTSCULTURE.COM S–Magazine 27 BLUE SKIES, SCREECHING SEAGULLS AND SALTY SEA AIR; for a fleeting moment I wonder if I’m in the Mediterranean. But then reality hits me when I jump into the deep blue water off the sailboat, the Arctic Ice and shock sets in. It might have been brash to jump off a snowy boat into an ice-cold fjord so I quickly put on some clothes and am handed a typical Norse specialty; a shot of Aquavit, a double distilled potato 40% liqueur.. Skål! While most skiers stored away their skis in April, it is not quite the end of our winter. We found the ultimate way to prolong our ski season by a few weeks. We are at the small Norwegian airport of Tromsø, 300 kilometres above the Arctic Circle, where we welcome our tired friends, who have flown in from North America. Our crew for this Arctic adventure consists of pro skier Molly Baker, a film crew from Mt. Baker and a few of our lucky Dutch friends. It’s an eclectic group and although our backgrounds are completely different, we all share a passion for skiing. For the next month we’ll be traveling by ski, boat and car through the Lyngen Alps in Northern Norway. In this remote area on the same latitude as Siberia and Alaska, where impressive mountains and deep blue fjords dominate the scenery.

Harbitz NGI ASTARTE WP9 Meeting Paris, 23-24 January 2014 Lyngen test site, northern Norway • Potential rockslide from the mountain Nordnes, 7 km from the village Lyngseidet • Volume estimate up to 22 Mm3 with 11 Mm3 as the most likely upper limit 1810 Rock slide tsunami from Pollfjellet Mountain Among the largest rock slides in Norway 2 km wide head scar, 20 km south of Nordnes Waves observed more than 20 km away in both directions 3 large waves 2 m high waves in the head of the fjord 14 perished, large damages Today: Road tunnel to protect snow avalanches and rockfalls Submarine landslide tsunami sources (1) • At least 6 very large landslides have occurred in the Norwegian and Greenland Basins during the last ~20ka, giving a frequency of 1 in ~3-to-4000 years • The 8200 BP Storegga Slide produced a far field tsunami • This project will consider tsunamis generated at 3 different locations within the Norwegian and Greenland Basins to capture the effects of variable source location Submarine landslide tsunami sources (2) • Modelling will consider a range of landslide motions, including how multi-stage failure affects tsunami generation • Slide motion will be informed by field studies of the Trænadjupet Slide, which is the last major slide at ~4 ka. • This work will extend from a £2.3 Million UK (NERC) funded research project, which includes a 1 month research cruise to map and date the Trænadjupet Slide in summer 2014 What has already been done by NGI? • 3 reports on rockslide tsunamis in Lyngen • 2008, 2010, 2013 • Updated volume estimates • Refined inundation modelling • NGI’s results are the official ones used by the local authorities for evacuation and land-use planning, etc.
