The toll of the automobile: Wildlife and roads in Sweden. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6230, ISBN 91-576-6529-X Animal-vehicle collisions are a common phenomenon worldwide, causing injury or death to millions of animals and hundreds of human passengers each year. Collision numbers can be significant to species conservation, wildlife management, traffic safety, as well as from an economic and political point of view, and should thus be evaluated from these different perspectives. In this thesis, I assess, evaluate, analyse and predict animal-vehicle collisions with respect to their extent, their effect on populations, and their broad and fine scale distribution. A questionnaire with Swedish drivers indicated that nationwide road traffic in 1992 may caused an annual loss in harvest of common game species of 7% to 97% and of 1% to 12% of estimated populations. Road mortality did not appear as an existential threat to most species, although in badgers (Meles meles), traffic probably is the largest single cause of death. A slow population growth rate coupled with a high proportion of adult badger road-kills is responsible for their sensitivity to road mortality. Provided that road mortality is additive, we predicted that losses due to nationwide traffic might already exceed birth rates and limit badger population growth.

  • Digital Libraries in the Nordic Countries
    Digital Libraries in the Nordic Countries: Practical Examples for the Creation and Development of ‘Libraries Without Walls’ from the Nordic Africa Institute Library and Other Libraries within the Nordic Countries Marie-Louise Fendin Head Librarian and Deputy Director of the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, Sweden Computerised Library Catalogues Libraries in the Nordic European countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) began the process of digital library building some 20-30 years ago with the implementation of computerised library catalogues. Sweden In Sweden, the Royal library in Stockholm, together with university and special libraries, began compiling a common union catalogue, LIBRIS, in the mid-seventies. LIBRIS is used for cataloguing, searching and interlibrary loans. Once a record has been entered into the system in the full MARC 21 format, it becomes possible for other libraries to add local information to it, and then for such a record to be downloaded for use by regional or domestic library systems. LIBRIS comprises approximately 5 million items housed in 300 libraries, and is searchable on the Web without any cost. Its interlibrary loan facility is currently used by 1,200 Swedish libraries and by more then 230 libraries throughout the other Nordic countries. The most recent development is that library users can order books directly, simply by completing a form on the web. This computerised master catalogue has seen several changes over the years which have come about largely as a result of technological advancement, making it possible to find innovative ways to solve problems and upgrade the system as a whole. What remains constant, however, is the fundamental principle of cooperation and collaboration amongst libraries, and the enormous advantages to be gained from this type of intercommunication.

  • A Study of 11 Large Municipalities in Sweden
    Sustainable mobility in the Sustainable City – a study of 11 large municipalities in Sweden Final Report. Project 15-549 Author: Paul Fenton Division of Environmental Technology & Management, Linköping University, 58183 Linköping, Sweden. Tel: +46 13 285620, Fax: +46 13 281101, Email: [email protected] Summary The report presents findings from a qualitative study of strategy and policy processes for sustainable mobility and sustainable transport in eleven large municipalities in Sweden. The findings are presented thematically and with reference to interviews in each of the municipalities. The main conclusions of the report are that organisational design and the extent to which external stakeholders are involved in municipal processes are important influences on outcomes; political will and the presence of committed individuals is vitally important; and that municipalities are hamstrung by ineffective national planning processes. Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank the funders of both phases of the project for their interest and support – for Phase I, Riksbyggens Jubileumsfond Den Goda Staden; the Swedish national innovation agency Vinnova through its programme “Verifiering för samverkan”; Göteborg Energis Stiftelse för forskning och utveckling; and for Phase II, J.
