It is a great treasure at the disposal of those who live in or visit the capital region, with many different types of natural setting – everything from the rugged island of Bullerö in the outer archipelago that stretches eastward into the Baltic Sea, to sun-dappled broad-leaved woods along the shores of Lake Mälaren to the west. Consider the agricultural landscape at Angarn in Vallentuna which has been farmed for a thousand years, and the broad expanse of virgin forest at Tyresta in the Södertörn area – a wilderness area just twenty kilo- metres from the centre of Stockholm city. The county’s varied terrain has given rise to an unusually great diversity of habitats and species. Crane. The areas described in this guide are legally protected as nature reser- ves or national parks and comprise a vital part of our common heritage that we may all visit and appreciate. Contained in these pages is all the information needed by visitors and county residents to discover and explore some of our finest natural settings. In short, right next door to Sweden's largest city is a fantastic variety of natu- ral and historical landscapes that are accessible to everyone by foot, bicycle or public transport. During the next ten years, a large number of greenbelt areas in the Stockholm region will be protected through a doubling of the total area of nature reserves. That will be an important step toward preservation of the capi- tal region's finest natural assets for future generations. Welcome to our great outdoors!

  • Meeting a Growing Homelessness: How Could Three Swedish Affordable Housing Initiatives Be Analysed from Perspectives of Social and Economic Sustainability?
    Nordic Journal of Surveying and Real Estate Research Volume 15, Number 1, 2020 Nordic Journal of Surveying and Real Estate Research 15:1 (2020) 7–37 submitted on 11 January 2020 revised on 31 March 2020 revised on 2 June 2020 accepted 2 July 2020 Meeting a Growing Homelessness: How Could Three Swedish Affordable Housing Initiatives Be Analysed from Perspectives of Social and Economic Sustainability? Anna Granath Hansson Department of Real Estate and Construction Management, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Contact: [email protected] Abstract. Homelessness has increased substantially in Sweden in the last decade with an emphasis on structural homelessness. Further, municipalities have the responsibility to house a certain number of newly arrived immigrants under the Settlement Act. Many municipalities have had difficulties in meeting the acute housing need, as well as its costs, and have started to look at new types of housing solutions. Initiatives of the civil society and private developers have been encouraged. This paper investigates three civil society and private housing developments and how they might contribute to socially and economically sustainable housing solutions for households in or on the verge to homelessness. In order to operationalize social and economic sustainability in relation to these local projects, a definition and an analytical set of questions have been developed based on the literature and project data. It is concluded that all three projects are socially and economically sustainable at the outset, but that certain traits of the project set-ups make them more uncertain in the longer run. The concept of sustainability proved fruitful in analysing the projects, but in many cases, non-physical factors will be person dependent and therefore difficult to generalise.

Book 1 – Mythical to Viking Era (? – 1250) Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 – 1523) Book 3 – Vasa Dynasty (1523 – 1751) Book 4 – Recent Royalty (1751 – Present) Book 4 covers the most recent history including the wars with Russia that eventually led to the loss of Finland to Russia and the emergence of Finland as an independent nation as well as the history of Sweden during World Wars I and II. A list is included showing our relationship with the royal family according to the lineage from Nils Kettilsson Vasa. The relationship with the spouses is also shown although these are from different ancestral lineages. Text is included for those which are highlighted in the list.

Today, in 2013, the region has a population of just over 2.1 million, divided between 26 municipalities. The largest municipality, Stockholm City, in addition to being the national capital, is the largest municipality in the region (and in Sweden), with nearly 900 000 inhabitants. The smallest municipalities in the county, by comparison, have a population of around 10 000. The annual increase in population during the programming period 2007-2013 was just over 35 000.

Näringen skapar intäkter, arbetstillfällen och möjlighet att visa upp Stockholm från dess bästa sida. Eftersom allt fler upptäcker Stockholm som turist mål så ökar också belastningen på stadens infrastruktur. Fördelningen av ankommande kryssningsfartyg till Stockholm är mycket ojämnt fördelat över året. Vilket skapar utmaningar både för stadens framkomlighet, miljöbelastning och inom hamnens områden. 1.2 Projektmål/Syfte Trafikkontoret, Stockholms hamn samt Business region har fått uppdraget att studera möjligheten och förutsättningarna för marknadsaktörer att skapa en lösning för att transportera primärt turister sjövägen mellan stadens olika sevärdheter och terminalerna. Utredningen har kartlagt nuläget och gett förslag på eventuella åtgärder för att främja framtida passagerartrafik på vattnet. Materialet har som syfte att fungera som stöd och inspiration för vidare utredning.

  • BOILEX Final Exercise Report
    Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency 1 (44) Date Reg no Edition 2012-03-15 2011-2836 7 BOILEX 2011 Final exercise report Baltic Oil Spill Exercise 27-29 September 2011, Nynäshamn The publication reflects the author’s views and the Managing Authority cannot be held liable for the information published by the project partners Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency 2 (44) Date Reg no Edition 2012-03-15 2011-2836 7 Preface All countries in the Baltic Sea Region have different preconditions when it comes to managing a large oil spill affecting the shores. We are differently organized, we have varying legislation and our coastlines differ as well as our response capacities. Only one thing is common for all – no country alone is capable of protecting all their valuable coastlines in case of a major oil spill. There is a well-established international cooperation both within HELCOM and the Copenhagen Agreement regarding offshore oil spill response. However, when it comes to shoreline oil spill response the Baltic Sea countries are lacking a platform for exchanging experiences and knowledge. This is the background for the EnSaCo project and the BOILEX exercise. The number of stakeholders involved in a shoreline oil spill response is far larger than the ones operating at sea which leads to a more complicated operation. This complexity is present also in shoreline exercises. BOILEX was no exception; we combined a theoretical table top with practical field exercises both on-shore and offshore. The exercise included 81 different organizations from 8 countries. HELCOM will include shoreline oil spills and oiled wildlife response in their overall response in the near future.
