A CHALLENGING DIALOGUE Ezequiel Theme 1 Session 3 HERITAGE ASSESSMENT AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT : A CHALLENGING DIALOGUE Ezequiel M. Pinto-Guillaume Archeologist and Illustrator, WSP Sverige [email protected] Abstract. A dialogue with those who intend to develop a site is always challenging. As heritage curators, we must often give advice that developers may not want to hear because it might interfere with the realization of a project. In our work as environmental planners at WSP, we have experienced that it is difficult but of utmost importance to create an open dialogue with those involved in the development of sensitive cultural heritage areas at a regional level. However, we have realized that theory and practice do not always go hand in hand. In this paper, we will take a closer look at two recent projects in which we carried out a cultural and historical assessment and, also, an environmental impact assessment (cultural and historical as well as environmental impact assessments). In both, the team aimed to maintain a dynamic and functional relationship between the existing heritage and the planned future development of the areas. We will see how the outcome of both projects call for a re-examination of the importance of our preliminary assessments.

  • Regional District Heating in Stockholm
    Dick Magnusson, PhD Student Department of Thematic Studies: Technology and Social Change Linköping University, Sweden [email protected] +46(0)13-282503 Planning for a sustainable city region? - Regional district heating in Stockholm Abstract District heating is an old and established energy system in Sweden, accounting for 9 % of the national energy balance. The systems have traditionally been built, planned and managed by the municipalities and over the years the district heating systems in Stockholm have grown into each other and later been interconnected. This have led to that there today are three large systems with eight energy companies and the system can be considered a regional system. The strategy to create a regional system has existed for a long time from regional planning authorities. However, since the municipalities have planning monopoly the regional planning is weak. The overall aim for this study is to analyse the planning and development of an important regional energy system, the district heating system in Stockholm, to understand how the municipal and regional planning have related to each other. The study is conducted through studying municipal and regional plans in Stockholm’s county between 1978 and 2010. The results show that district heating has been considered important all along and that a regional, or rather inter-municipal, perspective has existed throughout the period, although with large differences between different municipalities. Regional strategies for an interconnected system and combined heat and power plants have been realised gradually and district heating have throughout the period been considered important for different environmental reasons. 1 Introduction In Sweden, district heating (DH) is an important part of the energy system, accounting for approximately 55 TWh of the annual energy supply of 612 TWh, and a 55% share of the total heating market.1 In some cities, the district heating systems are old, well-established, and have developed into regional energy systems, with Stockholm being the foremost example.

  • “Yoake [夜明け]” a Gunslinger Girl Original Story by Kiskaloo
    This story uses characters and locations based on the Gunslinger Girl manga written by Yu Aida and published in monthly shōnen magazine Dengeki Daioh. The characters of Kara and Michele are original to myself. “Yoake [夜明け]” A Gunslinger Girl Original Story by Kiskaloo “Heaven is not enough…if when I am there I don’t remember you.” – Yoko Kanno. On a warm March Wednesday, in the passenger seat of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder parked on the side of the Autostrada 24 in a suburb east of Rome, Fleda Claes Johansson started to cry, her sobs drowned out by the flow of late afternoon traffic though Michele could see her chest heave and see the tears stream down her face. He removed a clean handkerchief from his pants pocket and handed it to Claes, who turned towards him with eyes red from tears and cheeks red from embarrassment. “Gratzie,” she said as she dabbed at her eyes and wiped her cheeks. She sniffled with a sharp intake of breath through her nose and her face set in a hard look, only a moment later to collapse into a fresh bout of crying. She buried her face in the handkerchief and willed herself into composure. “Crying like a schoolgirl rejected by her crush,” she said, her tone harsh. “You were conditioned to love him. And now that you remember him, it’s natural to miss him knowing that’s he is gone,” Michele offered. “What we shared wasn’t really love,” Claes noted. “I mean I did love him because the conditioning made me, but it made him uncomfortable.” She took in a few deep breaths to steady herself.

  • To Reuse Or to Incinerate?
    To Reuse or to Incinerate? A case study of the environmental impacts of two alternative waste management strategies for household textile waste in nine municipalities in northern Stockholm, Sweden Robert Bodin, MSc candidate Master of Science Thesis Stockholm 2016 Abstract With an increasing human population in the world, textiles are part of current unsustainable consumption patterns. Unlike most other mass produced products available today however, textiles are often vital to satisfy human core needs, and cannot be considered superfluous. Textile materials can be problematic from an environmental perspective. Synthetics are made from non-renewable petroleum, while production natural textile materials are very resource intensive, and rely on non-renewable energy supplies. Many reports on textiles indicate that production and use have great environmental impacts compared to waste management. On the other hand, it is in the latter phase decided whether the textile should be reused, recycled or discarded. These different material flow alternatives greatly determine overall impacts, since the possibility of avoided production through reuse and recycling is an important factor to consider. The main goal of this report was, through the use of life cycle assessment (LCA), to evaluate the environmental impact of household textile waste management from reuse and disposal alternatives, when conducted through the activities of the Swedish waste management company SÖRAB. Two different waste management strategies/scenarios where compared: one centered around incineration of textile waste, specified as the incineration scenario, and one focused on a textile waste flow where the textiles are separated from household waste and sorted for reuse, recycling and incineration, specified as the reuse scenario.

  • Commuter Mobility: an Indicator of Municipality Attraction an Analysis Based on Swedish Register Data
    Commuter Mobility: An Indicator of Municipality Attraction An Analysis Based on Swedish Register Data Siv Schéele and Gunnar Andersson ([email protected]) Stockholm University Demography Unit, SUDA Note: this is a draft version, please do not cite or quote without permission. Abstract In the present paper, we study the behavior of commuters in the Mälar region that surrounds Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. The purpose is to get better insight into what factors that may be related to municipalities’ different levels of attraction. We study individual commuter behavior by means of Swedish register data on place of residence and place of work place for all residents in the region. Our baseline year is 2005 and we study the extent to which commuters change their behavior during a one-year follow up. Longitudinal micro-data on place of work and residence, and commuters’ various individual socio-demographic characteristics are linked to data on a range of municipality characteristics. Our data are complemented with standardized data on travel distances and travel times. We analyze the propensity of commuters to end commuting – by means of change of residence to the municipality where their workplace is located or by changing the workplace to the municipality where they live – by means of multinomial logistic regression. Migration rates and change of workplace rates are shown to decrease with the number of years being a commuter. The relative risks of domestic migration are strongly related to socio-demographic variables, whereas the relative risks of change of workplace mainly vary with individuals’ economic variables such as earned income and commuting distance.

  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.
