Coastal develop- ment creates conflicts and further ones are expected through climate change and sea level rise. In this article, the aim is knowledge synthesis for conflict research to support strat- egies for sustainable coastal zone management. For that purpose an interdisciplinary con- ceptual framework is elaborated and applied in exemplary conflict analyses. The framework combines knowledge from different fields of environmental and conflict research. In an analysis of 26 local, non-violent resource use conflicts in the Swedish metropolitan coastal areas of Gothenburg and Malmo¨, the themes of coastal landscape changes, resource management, and conflict analysis are connected in a governance perspective. The data were collected through qualitative, semi-structured interviews and discussions with local stakeholders and experts, document analysis and analysis of articles from local news- papers. The conflict analysis showed the multi-faceted and complex nature of the conflicts. Solutions require interdisciplinary research and knowledge synthesis. Our conclusions relate to the requirements of further development of knowledge integration and approaches to multi-scale environmental governance. KEY WORDS: Coastal conflicts, environmental governance, sustainable develop- ment, coastal landscapes, interdisciplinary conflict analysis 1. Introduction: Resource Use Conflicts in Coastal Areas In this article, we develop a conceptual framework for the interdisciplinary analy- sis of coastal conflicts by combining knowledge from different fields of environ- mental and conflict research to analyse 26 local resource use conflicts on the Swedish West coast. These conflicts result from the interaction of rural and urban areas and resource use in coastal areas, and from global environmental Correspondence Address: Karl Bruckmeier, School of Global Studies, University of Gothen- burg, Box 700, SE 40530 Gothenburg, Sweden. Email: [email protected] # 2013 Taylor & Francis 468 O. Stepanova & K. Bruckmeier change, in particular, climate change and adaptation to sea level rise. The conflict analysis is completed with a discussion of the integration of conflict analysis in strategies for sustainable governance of coastal landscapes. Coastal resource use conflicts are studied in the broad field of environmental conflict research, including, e.g. wind power location conflicts (Jessup, 2010; Oles & Hammarlund, 2011; Solli, 2010) showing the intensified search of offshore sol- utions. Other important coastal conflicts relate to fishery and species protection (Bruckmeier & Ho¨j Larsen, 2008; Varjopuro, 2011), recreational and commercial fisheries (Ngoc & Flaaten, 2010), and pollution (Primavera, 2006). Multi-scale eco- logical distribution conflicts (Martinez-Alier et al., 2010), and conflicts related to climate change (Gleditsch, 2012) show the global connections of local conflicts. Coastal conflict research develops from various disciplines (Stepanova & Bruckmeier, 2013, with a more detailed review). However, the knowledge from the dispersed environmental conflict research is not yet integrated to allow for well-designed interdisciplinary strategies of conflict resolution and resource man- agement. To resolve cross-scale resource use conflicts the knowledge dispersed in political science, sociology, economics, geography, and ecology needs to be com- bined by researchers and resource managers. Additionally, local and experi- ence-based knowledge of resource users and managers is useful for conflict management. Knowledge integration from different fields, as paradigmatically in the frameworks of social–ecological systems (SES), adaptive management or governance, and sustainable resource management (Acheson, 2006; Haberl et al., 2011; Ostrom, 2007, 2009) needs to be improved in coastal management (Blythe & Dadi, 2012; Naylor et al., 2012) and for conflict resolution. Combining conflict research with interdisciplinary landscape research (Daugstad et al., 2007; Ro¨hring & Gailing, 2005; Tress et al., 2007) seems promising for conflict resolution and resource management. Descriptions of landscape change need to be framed in policy and resource governance strategies to become effective for conflict analysis and resolution. Finally, conflict analysis needs to be integrated in broader strat- egies of sustainable resource management (Cumming, 2011; McAlpine et al., 2010). 1.1 The Research Dilemma: Governance of Complex Social–Ecological Systems A consequence of coastal development in Europe was a continuous loss of habi- tats, wetlands, shellfish beds, and other resource systems (Airoldi & Beck, 2007; for similar global trends see the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment reports from 2005). Coastal development implies intensification of human resource use in rural and urban use of water- and land-based resources. The pressures on coastal resource bases through changes from productive use of land and water, e.g. agriculture and fishery, to consumptive use, e.g. recreation, are visible in changes of ecosystem functions and services. The policy of Integrated Coastal Zone Management of the European Union (EU) did not change the pressures sig- nificantly as recent analyses show (Shipman & Stojanovic, 2007). Furthermore, the integration of terrestrial and marine spatial planning is not advanced (Kidd & Ellis, 2012). New forms of coastal conflicts result from the competition of humans with other species for scarce natural resources on European coasts, e.g. the conflicts between fishery and protected species as cormorants and seals ana- lysed in the FRAP project (www.frap-project.net/). Climate change intensifies the coastal resource use problems and creates further conflicts, e.g. through decisions for adaptation to sea level rise (Weinstein et al., 2011, p. 43). Resource use conflicts and urban–rural resource use 469 The options for climate change adaptation are intensively discussed (e.g. Alexan- der et al., 2012 for the retreat option, Kasa et al., 2012), although without sufficient attention to conflicts emerging in these adaptation processes. Conceptual and quantitative models of interacting social and ecological systems can help to reduce the complexity of multi-layered SES to the complex- ity manageable by resource management and planning systems (e.g. Costanza et al., 1990 for coastal systems; Adell, 1999; Pillsbury & Miller, 2008 for inter- action of urban and rural systems; Jansson et al., 2006 for a rural landscape). With empirically grounded multi-tier frameworks as that of Ostrom (2009) for resource use additional factors influencing conflicts and/or their resolution can be identified. Conflicts and policy integration problems appear, e.g. in landscape planning (McAlpine et al., 2010), when traditional coastal and rural production landscapes for fishing and farming change to new leisure landscapes, multi-functional or pro- tected landscapes (Bennett, 1991; de Groot, 2006; Knickel et al., 2009). Methods for valuation of natural resources and ecosystem services to deal with the conflicts and risks in planning and decision-making need to be developed (Chiesura & de Groot, 2003; Hills et al., 2009). The coastal conflicts we studied were often multi-faceted and complex with more than two conflicting issues and actors in conflict, complicated interest structures, and differing perceptions of the conflict. Solutions require interdisciplinary research and knowledge synthesis. With regard to such conflicts, our guiding question is: How to develop through knowl- edge synthesis and exemplary interdisciplinary analysis a composite framework for conflict analysis that can be applied for various kinds of environmental and natural resource use conflicts? 1.2 Interdisciplinary Analysis of Coastal Conflicts: Developing Policy-Related Frameworks The integration of knowledge from different areas of research is more advanced for environmental research (Aronson, 2011) than for conflict research. In a prior paper (Stepanova & Bruckmeier, 2013) we reviewed and discussed critically, coastal and environmental conflict research. Here, this review is complemented with the three additional themes to specify the framework

    Papers Malmö: Towards a new social agenda Received (in revised form): 17th October, 2014 Christer Larsson is the director of Malmö City Planning Office in Sweden. He is responsible for, and has great knowledge of, the strategic development planning of the city, including the redevelopment of the Western Harbour site and the urban reconfiguration of Malmö. Christer is a member of the Governing Board of the International Urban Development Association, Chairman of Nordic City Network and a commissioner for a Socially Sustainable Malmö. Among other projects Christer is active in international architectural competition juries. Göran Rosberg worked as an Information Manager in Malmö from the end of the 1980s until 2012. His former workplace was the Department of Social and Economic Geography at Lund University. He has a clear understanding of the entire transformation process that the City of Malmö has undergone in the past 10–15 years, which includes the establishment of the university and the transformation of the development area of Western Harbour and the Bo01 area into a new sustainable city district. Göran followed these processes closely and has also presented the transformation of Malmö in international journals and conferences. Abstract Malmö has endeavoured to achieve greater equity for its residents and to view them as a resource and as a form of social capital. The work has proved to be a tremendous asset and has generated greater awareness by the city’s target groups, but the city still suffers from social and economic imbalances. In order to succeed, a shift towards developing human capital through network solutions is being made through increased participation of the population as a whole.

  • National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation
    Description of the Government Bill 2017/18:163 National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation The main content of the bill The bill proposes two changes to the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) with the aim of improving municipalities’ preparedness for climate change. One of these changes involves a requirement for municipalities to provide their views in their structure plans on the risk of damage to the built environment as a result of climate-related flooding, landslides and erosion, and on how such risks can be reduced or eliminated. The other change involves the municipality being able to decide in a detailed development plan that a site improvement permit is required for ground measures that may reduce the ground’s permeability and that are not being taken to build a street, road or railway that is compatible with the detailed development plan. The Government also reports on a National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation in order to strengthen climate change adaptation work and the national coordination of this work in the long term. The strategy was announced in the Government’s written communication ‘Kontrollstation för de klimat- och energipolitiska målen till 2020 samt klimatanpassning’ (‘Control station for the 2020 climate and energy policy objectives and climate change adaptation’, Riksdag Communication 2015/16:87). Through the strategy, the Government also meets its obligations in accordance with the Paris Agreement and the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, in which a national climate change adaptation strategy is highlighted as a central analytical instrument that is intended to explain and prioritise actions and investments.

    A Tale of Three Cities A comparative analysis of climate policy formulation in Swedish municipalities Emily Norford Master Thesis Series in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science, No 2015:016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Lund University International Master’s Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science (30hp/credits) LUCSUS Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies A Tale of Three Cities A comparative analysis of climate policy formulation in Swedish municipalities Emily Norford A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Lund University International Master’s Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science Submitted May 13, 2015 Supervisor: Henner Busch, LUCSUS, Lund University Abstract The adage “think global, act local” can be a fitting description of how to address climate change. Municipalities are often responsible for implementing the measures required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift to a more climate-neutral development trajectory. However, there is a vast spectrum of municipal ambition regarding climate, and not all municipalities manage to have robust and ambitious climate policies. Sweden is a country that both has ambitious climate goals and affords a high amount of autonomy to local-level governing bodies. This thesis investigates how municipalities in Skåne, Sweden develop policies to address climate change, with a focus on how they approach the national “reduced climate impact” environmental quality objective. It seeks to unveil the conditions that enable ambitious climate policy at the municipal level by comparing Hässleholm, Vellinge, and Kristianstad, which exhibit many similar characteristics but have varying levels of climate policy success – which I define as having in place an ambitious and robust program to reduce climate impact.

  • Municipalities' Ability to Adapt the Existing Built Environment to the Changing Climate
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2019 Municipalities' ability to adapt the existing built environment to the changing climate A case study of Täby, Vellinge, and Gothenburg KATARINA RYLANDER KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract One of the most challenging issues within the planning and development process of our cities and societies is the changing climate that already can be seen in several parts of the world. To be able to decrease the cities’ and societies’ vulnerability towards these projections it is important to actively work with climate adaptation. Today, the majority of the climate adaptation measures are implemented in new developments, and not in the same extent in the existing built environment. Because the projected climate changes will affect all parts of the cities and societies it is important to work with an overarching climate adaptation. Within the Swedish context, the municipality has an important role in the work with climate adaptation. The aim of this master thesis is to generate an understanding of how Swedish municipalities work with climate adaptation within the existing built environment, and what challenges they face within their work. Additionally, the study will look at how the current legislation affects the municipal climate adaptation work, and how the new amendments in PBL, will affect the municipalities’ work. Three municipalities (Täby, Vellinge, and Gothenburg) have been studied to be able to conduct this master thesis, where sixteen interviewees from the municipalities, as well as from the Stockholm County Administrative Board and from Sweco, a Swedish consulting company, have been interviewed. The results from the study show that several challenges that the municipalities, in the current situation, are facing and are affecting their climate adaptation work.
