An Assessment of Park & Ride in Gothenburg HANDELSHÖGSKOLAN - GRADUATE SCHOOL MASTER THESIS Supervisor: Michael Browne Graduate School An assessment of Park & Ride in Gothenburg A case study on the effect of Park & Ride on congestion and how to increase its attractiveness Written by: Sélim Oucham Pedro Gutiérrez Touriño Gothenburg, 27/05/2019 Abstract Traffic congestion is with environmental pollution one of the main cost externalities caused by an increased usage of cars in many cities in the last decades. In many ways, traffic congestion impacts the everyday life of both drivers and citizens. In this thesis, the authors study how one solution designed to tackle congestion, the Park & Ride service, is currently used in the city of Gothenburg, where it is referred as Pendelparkering. This scheme allows commuters to park their car outside the city and then use public transport to their destination, thus avoiding having more cars in the city centre and reducing congestion. The goal is to know to what extent it helps solving the problem of congestion as well as how it can be ameliorated to make it more attractive. In order to do so, an analysis of the theory on Park & Ride and traffic congestion is performed, including a benchmark of three cities using the system and different views on its effectiveness in reducing congestion. Then, an empirical study relating to the City of Gothenburg is realized. The challenges around Park & Ride and the way different stakeholders organise themselves to ensure the service is provided in a satisfying way are thoroughly investigated. Interviews with experts and users, on- site observations and secondary data collection were used as different approaches to answer these questions. The main conclusions of the thesis are that in the case of Gothenburg, Park & Ride plays a relevant role in helping reducing congestion, considering the infrastructure available and the commuting patterns of workers. However, even though the general satisfaction is high, the lack of space available came as the most important challenge. The authors therefore elaborated a solution following a Design Thinking approach in partnership with the innovation platform Coboom, as a suggestion to how digital tools could be used in Park & Ride to improve urban mobility in Gothenburg, but also potentially in other cities. Keywords: Park & Ride, commuter parking, traffic congestion, urban mobility, public transportation, Smart Cities 2 Acknowledgments First of all, we would like to thank Coboom for the opportunity of working with them during these last months. It has been a great experience to work in the companies involved: CGI, Volvo Cars and Stena Line. Specially, we want to thank Martin Högenberg, Lina Asadi, Staffan Davidsson and Sofia Hultsbo. Secondly, we want to thank our supervisor Michael Browne for his help during our thesis development. His advice and feedback during these past months has been very useful to us, as well as his openness to hear our opinion in the different topics and respect our choices. Third, we want to thank all the people that answered to our interviews. On one side, the Park & Ride users that kindly stopped on their way home to answer our questions. On the other hand, the experts from different organisations that saved us some time in their agenda to have an interview: Erik Behm, Gunnar Lanner, Lars Bern, Jonas Lidén and Marie Albihn. Also, to the organisations they represent: Business Region Göteborg, Göteborgs Stad and Västtrafik. Finally, we also want to thank our fellow colleagues that helped us improve our thesis during the midway and final seminars. This constructive feedback allowed us to enhance our work and submit a better document. ______________________ ______________________ Sélim Oucham Pedro Gutiérrez Touriño 3 Table of Contents 1 Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 8 2 Purpose of the thesis and Research Question ................................................................. 10 2.1 Purpose .................................................................................................................... 10 2.2 Scope and delimitation of the thesis ........................................................................ 10 2.3 Research question .................................................................................................... 11 3 Theoretical framework and results of literature review .................................................. 12 3.1 How to reduce congestion?

  • Chapter 2. Block 1. Multi-Level Governance: Institutional and Financial Settings
    PART II: OBJECTIVES FOR EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATING MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL 43 │ Chapter 2. Block 1. Multi-level governance: Institutional and financial settings Objective 1.Enhance effectiveness of migrant integration policy through improved vertical co-ordination and implementation at the relevant scale National level: competences for migration-related matters In Sweden, migration and integration policies are designed at the national level; however, there is no “integration code” or guidelines that all levels of government have to follow in their integration process. Since the dismantling in 2007of the former Integration Agency – created in 1998 – each ministry and government agency is responsible for integration in its particular area and integration has to be applied to all areas of policy (Bakbasel, 2012[5]). The Ministry of Justice (responsible for migration, asylum, residence permits) and the Ministry of Employment (responsible for employment, establishment, integration through work) are the two state departments responsible for most of the migration and integration policies. The Equality Ombudsman (DO) is in charge of overseeing discrimination laws. Sweden has intensified efforts to combat discrimination of foreign- born individuals since the 1990s. A comprehensive law against all kinds of discrimination was introduced in 2009. It is impossible, according to some studies, to determine whether these measures have begun to reduce discrimination (DELMI, 2017[15]). Principle of universal access to public services, with a significant exception: The guiding principle of integration politics is that the school system, welfare provisions, labour integration and health care are accessible to all societal groups on the same basis. However, this breaks with past national policies.

    Marine Spatial Planning From a municipal perspective Authors Roger Johansson Frida Ramberg Supervisors Marie Stenseke Andreas Skriver Hansen Master’s thesis in Geography with major in human geography Spring semester 2018 Department of Economy and Society Unit for Human Geography School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg Student essay: 45 hec Course: GEO245 Level: Master Semester/Year: Spring 2018 Supervisor: Marie Stenseke, Andreas Skriver Hansen Examinator: Mattias Sandberg Key words: Marine Spatial Planning, municipalities, knowledge, sustainable development Abstract Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) aims to, through physical planning of the marine areas, contribute to a sustainable development where various interests can get along. This master thesis concerns Marine Spatial Planning from a municipal perspective in Sweden. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how MSP is performed on a municipal level. In order to investigate this the thesis has been structured into three themes; The work with marine spatial planning, Marine spatial planning and synergies between marine and terrestrial areas and lastly, Environment and growth in marine spatial planning. It is important to remember that the core theme throughout the thesis; The work with marine spatial planning is interlinked with the other themes and that all of them permeate each other in the municipalities work with MSP. The mixed methods applied to answer the aim in the thesis are semi-structured informant interviews with planners and project leaders of a selection of municipalities and a survey sent to all Swedish coastal municipalities. The results show that cooperation and collaborations are an important part in the work with MSP for several municipalities.

  • Göteborg City Shopping Årsrapport 2012
    Göteborg City Shopping Årsrapport 2012 Göteborg City Shopping * 1 Göteborg City Shopping Sammanfattning av 2012 För att utveckla och öka attraktionskraften för Göteborg som shoppingdestination skapades 2011 Göteborg City Shopping, som under 2012 tog form. Under året har en finansiering grundlagts och styrgruppen har utökats med representanter från handeln, Göteborgs Universitet, kommun och fastighetsägare. En marknadsgrupp har bildats som gemensamt arbetat fram olika aktiviteter och marknadsinsatser som genomförts under året. I flera kampanjer i såväl Sverige som i Norge har shoppingen varit synlig. Genom samarbete med hotellen har även specifika shoppingweekends paketerats och marknadsförts nationellt och internationellt. En kontinuerlig bearbetning av press och media med shoppingfokus har också gjorts under året. Bakgrund Fastighetsägarna i Göteborg och Göteborgs Köpmannaförbund och Näringslivsgrupen på Göteborg & Co har under 2011 gemensamt startat projektet Göteborg City Shopping. Arbetet inleddes redan 2009 då en förstudie gjordes där bland andra universitetet, kommunen Svensk Handel, turistföretag och fastighetsägare deltog. Studien utmynnade i ett visionsarbete där allt från infrastruktur till trender, företag och shoppingflöden gicks igenom. Göteborg ska bli staden för framtidens handel. På stadens 400-årsdag ska staden vara i fokus för shopping. Mål En viktig uppgift för projektet är att stärka relationer, satsa på PR och marknadskampanjer och uppnå en gemensam bild för shoppingen i Göteborg. Målet är att skapa reseanledningar till Göteborg och att Göteborg ska bli staden för framtidens handel. Konkreta mål är: • Att öka antalet journalistbesök med intresse shopping och mode. • Att aktivt arbeta för ett årligt återkommande evenemang för shoppingen inom en 3-års period. • Att öka kunskapen kring besökaren. • Att få fler shoppingbesökare till Göteborg.

    1.01 Original scientific article Comparison of Public and Private Home Care Services for Elderly in Gothenburg Region, Sweden 2013 UDK: 364.4(485) Iwona Sobis School of Public Administration, University of Gothenburg, Sweden [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the public and private home care services for elderly given economic limitations after delegating them to municipality in the Gothenburg Region. The additional aim is to make politicians conscious about this development. The theoretical model of delegation and decentralization by Cristiano Castelfranchi and Rino Falcone (1998) and the Resource Dependency Theory by Pfeffer and Salancik (1978) constitute the theoretical reference frame. The study is based on an analysis of state regulation, policy documents and semi-structured interviews with the chief responsible for public and private home care services for elderly at the municipal level. This study reveals that the delegation of care for elderly to the municipalities faced some serious problems not to be solved until 2013 and surprisingly that these problems are especially seen where the recipients of such care don’t have a choice on their service provider. The lesson drawn from the research is that if politicians or other authorities take away the right from people to make their own decisions about their own lives, this inevitably results in dissatisfaction and subsequent reforms. Key words: home care for elderly, public home care service, private home care for seniors, care for elderly, seniors, NPM, elderly delegation reform JEL: I11 1 Introduction This paper is a reaction to a number of critical articles in Gothenburg’s media about privatized care services for elderly, which were published in the last year (GP 2012-11-30, p.

    Pågående och planerad stadsutveckling i Göteborg city 1 Göteborgs Citysamverkan 2021-01-12 www.goteborg.se/citysamverkan Inledning - En ny stadskärna växer fram Trots Coronakris fortsätter och planeras en mängd betydande utvecklingsprojekt i och omkring stadskärnan för att bibehålla och stärka Göteborgs och Västsveriges attraktionskraft. Sammanställningen av pågående och planerad stadsutveckling syftar till att ge en samlad bild över utvecklingen för att bland annat: • Visa hur planer och projekt utvecklar och påverkar stadskärnans attraktivitet och att stadens olika aktörer tillsammans varje dag arbetar med utvecklingen av stadskärnan. • Utgöra underlag för prioriteringar och utvecklingsinriktningar hos stadens aktörer, bland annat behov av upprustning av befintliga platser och stråk för att ytterligare binda samman stadskärnans nya och gamla platser och stråk. • Utgöra samlat informationsunderlag för investerings och/eller etableringsbeslut för större och mindre företag inom bland annat fastighetsbranschen, besöksnäringen och handeln. • Berätta för stadens användare om alla delar som tillsammans stärker Citys regionala, nationella och internationella attraktions- och konkurrenskraft. • Illustrera hur alla byggnationer runt om i staden kommer att skapa ett nytt Göteborg. Många projekt är beslutade, pågår och ska färdigställas. Flera planer och projekt kan dock förändras från idéstadie till byggstart eller kanske rentav inte förverkligas överhuvudtaget. Det är dock viktigt att redan i tidiga skeden lyfta fram tankegångar, planer och beslutade
