Analysis of Historical Observations of Fennoscandian Lesser White- Fronted Geese Anser Erythropus in Sweden and the West Palearctic
VOGELWELT 129: 269 – 280 (2008) 269 Analysis of historical observations of Fennoscandian Lesser White- fronted Geese Anser erythropus in Sweden and the West Palearctic Johan H. Mooij, Per Hansson, Hakon Kampe-Persson & Leif Nilsson Mooij, J. H., P. Hansson, H. Kampe-Persson & L. Nilsson 2008: Analysis of historical observa- tions of Fennoscandian Lesser White-fronted Geese Anser erythropus in Sweden and the West Palearctic. Vogelwelt 129: 269–280. Recent telemetry studies and older Finnish studies have purported that the remnants of the Fen- noscandian Lesser White-fronted Goose population (currently estimated at about 20 breeding pairs) first migrate east to the Kanin Peninsula or the mouth of Ob river, and even as far as the eastern part of the Taimyr Peninsula to moult. Subsequently, they migrate via northern Russia and the Baltic States to eastern Germany and from there via Hungary to Greece. It has also been suggested that the birds of the re-established Swedish Lesser White-front Goose population were imprinted on a completely new migratory route by their Barnacle Goose foster-parents. To study if this view is correct, historical literature sources as well as observations of Lesser White-fronted Geese in Sweden were collected and analysed. To exclude birds of the re-established Swedish population only data of the period 1900 – 1981 were used. A total of 353 observations of more than 3,600 individuals were collected and analysed. These data were insufficient to delineate exact migration routes within the Atlantic flyway, south of the former breeding range. Regular occurrence at frequently checked sites, and numbers involved as well, still in the 1960s, strongly indicated, however, that such routes have existed. -

Tätorter 2000 Localities 2000
MI 38 SM 0101 Tätorter 2000 Localities 2000 I korta drag 1936 tätorter i Sverige år 2000 I Sverige fanns det 1 936 tätorter år 2000. I korthet definieras en tätort som sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Under perioden 1995 till 2000 har 46 nya tätorter tillkommit. Samti- digt har 48 orter upphört som tätorter, beroende på att folkmängden nu minskat till under 200. Kraftigt ökad folkmängd i de största tätorterna Mellan 1995 och 2000 har de fem tätorterna med över 100 000 invånare, dvs. Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Uppsala och Västerås fått kraftigt ökad befolk- ning, totalt nära 100 000 personer, därav över 60 000 i Stockolms tätort. De små tätorterna har till övervägande del minskat i befolkning. År 2000 bodde 7 465 000 personer i tätort vilket motsvarar 84 procent av hela befolkningen. Totalt har tätortsfolkmängden ökat med 47 000 personer eller knappt 1 procent mellan 1995 och 2000. Av den totala tätortsbefolkningen år 2000 bodde 43 procent i de 20 största tätorterna. Av dessa har nästan samtliga ökat sin folkmängd mellan 1995 och 2000. 16 procent av befolkningen bor utanför tätort År 2000 bodde totalt 1 418 000 personer eller 16 procent utanför tätort vilket är en minskning med knappt 2 000 personer jämfört med 1995. De regionala skill- naderna är stora. Befolkningen utanför tätort har ökat i Stockholms län, Uppsala län och Södermanlands län, men har minskat eller är oförändrad i övriga län. Befolkningstäthet Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolkningstätheten, mätt som antal invånare per km2 uppgick för tätorter år 2000 i genomsnitt till 1 433 invånare per km2. -

Bothnian Bay River Basin Management Plan 2016-2021
BOTHNIAN BAY WATER DISTRICT BOTHNIAN BAY RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLAN 2016-2021 English summary River Basin Management Plan 2016-2021 Bothnian Bay Water District – English summary Diary number: 537-9859-201 Issued by: County Administrative Board of Norrbotten Responsible unit: The Bothnian Bay Water District Authority Author: Swedish Water Authority of the Bothnian Bay Water District Cover photo: 2014©Andreas Broman Layout: Carina Nanker Production: Turbin AB Edition: available for download at www.vattenmyndigheterna.se PREFACE The water in Sweden and especially in its northern parts is often taken for granted, something that is in abundant quantities and maintains high quality. This picture is not correct, nor is it the case in other parts of the world where water, both in terms of quantity and quality, is the most explicit limitation of the conditions of life and thereby pervades all societies. Water management is an environmental and resource issue with many dimensions. Water is our most important nutriment, one of our most important resources and a habitat for many plants and animals. It is therefore natural that questions about how we handle water are closely associated with society at large. Whether we drink the water, use it as cooling water to produce electricity, fish, swim or enjoy the nature experience, we must all take responsibility. Water is not a commercial product like any other but, rather, a heritage which must be protected, defended and treated as such. Water management according to the EC Water Framework Directive is to achieve good water status in all groundwater, lakes, rivers and coastal waters. -
Making in Enforced Networks: the River Groups in Northern Sweden
Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management Volume 25 Number 4 December 2017 Organization and Decision- Making in Enforced Networks: The River Groups in Northern Sweden Par€ M. Olausson* and Jon Nyhlen** *Department of Social Sciences, Mid-Sweden University, SE-831 25 Ostersund,€ Sweden. E-mail: [email protected] **Department of Political Science, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden. E-mail: [email protected] This article examines the Swedish experience of network governance in managing flooding and high water flows. The aim was to study the regional responsibility for coor- dinating risk awareness and risk analysis in terms of information, prevention and actions. The focus was on differences between the Swedish river groups from the coordinators perspective, including their organization and approaches to decision-making. The conclusions reached here are based on interviews with the coor- dinators of county administrative boards. We argue that the absence of central guideli- nes in the organization of the river groups and the fact that they are enforced by the government rather than spontaneously formed have had implications for the networks’ effectiveness and for exchanges of experience among the networks. 1 Introduction Environmental policies, including policies pertaining to sustainable development and climate, do not recog- loods and high river flows have become increas- nize or respect any boundaries.

LAYTON MA Umeå 1981 — Norrlands-tryck i Umeå AB The Evolution of Upper Norrland's Ports and Loading Places 1750-1976. lari G Layton, The Department of Geography, University of Umeå, Sweden. Abstract: Models of port development have hitherto concentrated on landward communications and the organization of maritime space in their explanation of changes in port location and activity. This study demonstrates that the level of economic development in hinterlands together with industrial and marine technology are also significant factors and indeed play leading roles in the process of port evolution. For a deeper understanding of the process of port evolution the case of Upper Norrland's ports has been investigated. An analysis of changes in port distri bution since 1750 reveals two main processes: dispersion followed by concen tration. The growth in the number of ports and loading places prior to 1885 was not regular but stepwise, with two rapid increases related to the relax ation of mercantile restrictions, laissez-faire policies and the diffusion of new industrial activities.
