Plan För Ökad Återvinning Och Resurshushållning Plan för ökad återvinning och resurshushållning Kommunal Avfallsplan Framtagen i samarbete mellan Dalarnas kommuner och länsstyrelsen Dalarna Underlag SMEDJEBACKENS kommun 2013-2017 FÖRORD För varje kommun ska det enligt 15 kap 11 § Miljöbalken finnas en renhållningsordning som ska innehålla de föreskrifter om hantering av avfall som gäller för kommunen och en avfallsplan. Syftet med en avfallsplan är att tydliggöra kommunens ambitioner på avfallsområdet utifrån de nationella miljökvalitetsmålen. Avfallsplanen ska harmoniera med kommunens översiktsplan och ge en helhetsbild över avfallshanteringen för politiker, invånare och verksamheter så att utvecklingen strävar åt samma håll. Avfallsplanen är framtagen i en process där alla kommuner i Dalarna medverkat tillsammans med Länsstyrelsen Dalarna. Avfallsplanen är framtagen i en process där alla kommuner i Dalarna medverkat tillsammans med Länsstyrelsen Dalarna. Avfallsplanen gäller för perioden 2013 – 2017. Planen omfattar ett måldokument, ett åtgärdsdokument samt ett underlagsdokument. Måldokumentet beslutas i kommunfullmäktige för hela planperioden. Åtgärdsdokumentet förankras i kommunstyrelsen och kan revideras löpande. Underlagsdokumentet bifogas handlingarna. Dokumentstrukturen framgår nedan. Avfallsplan Avfallsplan Avfallsplan Underlag Strategier och mål Åtgärdsprogram Underlaget behandlar de ramverk som är styrande för avfallsplaneringen; EU:s ramdirektiv för avfall, de nationella miljömålen, den nationella avfallsplanen samt övrigt nationellt regelverk. Underlaget behandlar också framtidstrender, en utvärdering av föregående avfallsplaneperiod och det som framkommit som beaktansvärt för Dalarna vid genomförda seminarier. Underlaget innehåller även information om avfallshanteringen i övriga kommuner inom länet vilket ger möjlighet till vissa jämförelser. Varje år ska uppföljning av strategier och mål genomföras som tillsammans med en analys om förändrade förutsättningar ligger till grund för en löpande revidering av åtgärdsprogrammet. Såväl uppföljning som reviderat åtgärdsprogram ska delges Kretsloppsgruppen, Miljö- och byggnadsnämnden och SEAB.

Analyses of busi- ness clusters and the importance of regions as well as knowledge flows through both local and global networks stand central in our theoretical work as CSC works in a trans-disciplin- ary tradition involving theories from Strategy, Management, Economic Geography, Eco- nomic Sociology and Economic History. At CSC we both apply and develop our theoretical models to investigate the determinants of competitiveness and economic development from a bottom up, microeconomic perspective.

HUR SKA KOMMUNEN UTVECKLAS SÅ ATT ALLA KÄNNER SIG STOLTA, MÅR BRA OCH ÄR TRYGGA? Ludvika har bra möjligheter att utvecklas till en riktigt bra boendekommun. Här finns en levande stadskärna för de som vill bo i en mindre stad. Här finns mindre samhällen och tätorter och här finns en landsbygd med enskilda gårdar. Den rika variationen av boendemiljöer och olika boendeformer är en stor tillgång, som kan utvecklas ytterligare. Överallt i kommunen finns dessutom närhet till både vatten och grönska. För att utveckla Ludvika som boendeort behövs både nybyggnationer och förbättring av befintligt bostadsbestånd. Förslaget till översiktsplan reglerar framförallt var den framtida bebyggelsen ska ske, men också andra frågor som berör den fysiska miljön. En översiktsplan är vägledande för beslut om kommunens långsiktiga användning av mark- och vattenområden och blir därmed mycket avgörande för kommunens framtida utveckling. Givetvis har även andra frågor än markanvändning och fysik utformning stor betydelse för att skapa en attraktiv kommun. Att det är rent och snyggt, tryggt och lugnt är minst lika viktigt som själva bostäderna.

  • Delineating Commuting Regions in Dalarna, Sweden
    ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2012, 1, 294-314; doi:10.3390/ijgi1030294 OPEN ACCESS ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information ISSN 2220-9964 www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/ Article Geoprocessing Journey-to-Work Data: Delineating Commuting Regions in Dalarna, Sweden Martin Landré Department of Regional Studies, Högskolan Dalarna, 79188 Falun, Sweden; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 10 September 2012; in revised form: 26 October 2012 / Accepted: 6 November 2012 / Published: 14 November 2012 Abstract: Delineation of commuting regions has always been based on statistical units, often municipalities or wards. However, using these units has certain disadvantages as their land areas differ considerably. Much information is lost in the larger spatial base units and distortions in self-containment values, the main criterion in rule-based delineation procedures, occur. Alternatively, one can start from relatively small standard size units such as hexagons. In this way, much greater detail in spatial patterns is obtained. In this paper, regions are built by means of intrazonal maximization (Intramax) on the basis of hexagons. The use of geoprocessing tools, specifically developed for the processing of commuting data, speeds up processing time considerably. The results of the Intramax analysis are evaluated with travel-to-work area constraints, and comparisons are made with commuting fields, accessibility to employment, commuting flow density and network commuting flow size. From selected steps in the regionalization process, a hierarchy of nested commuting regions emerges, revealing the complexity of commuting patterns. Keywords: accessibility; commuting field; commuting region; Intramax analysis; self-containment 1. Introduction Dalarna is a county in central Sweden comprising of 15 municipalities with a total land area of 28,194 km2 and a population of 277,000 in 2010.
