Some of the required resources are renewable and some are not. One resource which is without a doubt necessary in the construction industry is aggregates. Aggregates is a common name for sand, gravel, crushed rock and other bulk materials used by the construction industry. Out of the above mentioned materials sand and gravel are very limited and crushed bedrock is more abundant. Therefore it is better, from a resource point of view, to use crushed bedrock instead of sand and gravel for construction. Although, this substitution is complicated in some usage areas because of the better technical properties of sand and gravel. Sweden has an environmental quality objective limiting the extraction of gravel.

  • Marine Spatial Planning from a Municipal Perspective
    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.

  • TIME for SHIFT CHANGE in the FABRIC of EXISTENCE Exploring the Role of Darkness and Artificial Light for Humans and Biodiversity
    TIME FOR SHIFT CHANGE IN THE FABRIC OF EXISTENCE Exploring the role of darkness and artificial light for humans and biodiversity Author: Maya Strömgren Supervisor: Mattias Sandberg Master’s thesis in Geography with major in Human Geography Spring semester 2021 Department of Economy and Society Unit for Human Geography School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg Student essay: 30 hec Course: GEO230 Level: Master Semester/year: Spring 2021 Supervisor: Mattias Sandberg Examiner: Jerry Olsson Key words: Darkness, artificial light, light pollution, biodiversity, human- non-human relations, all-ecology, non-representational theory. Abstract This thesis departs from the loss of biodiversity due to artificial light at night. The diurnal human has taken over all hours of the day instead of the natural light once, meaning that space and time have become limited for the nocturnal living species. Earlier research concern how darkness and artificial light affect either animals, insects, and plants, or humans’ health. The combination of the two, however, remains largely unresearched. Therefore, this geographical thesis dives into this gap by exploring humans and biodiversity in relation to darkness and artificial light. Building on that exploration, the aim was further to formulate generative ways forward in the matter. A qualitative method was conducted, consisting of a self-written Darkness Diary and walking interviews with a moth-expert, a bat expert, and a light designer and light artist. The theory of all-ecology was applied as an ontological stand and a geographical toolbox. Non- representational theory (NRT) was further applied as a guide in the exploration of experience.

The investigation has been conducted during the period 2009-2011. The date of the final report has, following a government decision (17/11/2011), been postponed until 30 March 2012. The assignment has involved a comprehensive risk analysis incorporating calculations of the prob- ability of landslides and evaluation of the consequences that could arise from such incidents. By identifying the various areas at risk, an assessment has been made of locations where geotechnical stabilising measures may be necessary. An overall cost assessment of the geotechnical aspects of the stabilising measures has been conducted in the areas with a high landslide risk.
