A ques- tion that is posed is about the relevance of aesthetic considerations in the locali- zation decisions of elements that signal approaching and entering areas along the highway: How can the need for cues of entrance be localized along city approach- es, based on aesthetic criteria formulated from the road user’s perspective? Th e question was deemed important for two reasons. Approach roads are a signif- icant part of many commuter’s daily landscape, and their aesthetic qualities have an eff ect on the commuters’ psychological processes, traffi c behavior and quality of life. As such, aesthetic considerations on approach roads are a part of the dis- cussion about the quality of people’s living environments in general. Th e second reason is specifi c to city approaches and –entrances as expressions of identity of a place and other meanings that change the road user’s impression of the places they are approaching, reaching and passing by. During the project it was found that the words “city entrance” and “city gate” have very strong connotations and associa- tions, especially on a regional level where each municipality and district vie for the honor of being called the entrance to the region. To better understand the multiple functions and values that elements in the road environment that signal approach and entering can have, a new, less loaded concept of “cues of entrance” was created. In order to understand what the role of aesthetics in the road environment and especially along approach roads is, a literature study was conducted. Th e literature study yielded a great amount of information about how the road user experiences the aesthetic aspects of their environment, and how they infl uence their further experience of the road and the places around it. Th e fi ndings of the literature study were then formulated into goals for the aesthetic components of the road environ- ment. Th ese goals can also serve as criteria for evaluating the suitability of a certain location for new cues of entrance. Th e practical inspiration for pursuing the subject was to create an analysis of the European highway E4/E20 in its role as the Southern Approach to Greater Stock- holm Region. Th e highway has been analyzed from the municipality of Botkyrka to the southern districts of Stockholm city, and evaluated from an aesthetic point of view. Th e aesthetic qualities of the road environment along the highway that contributed to a sense of approaching to or arriving in diff erent places were paid special attention to. Evaluating the analysis of the approach road E4/E20 according to the goals for the aesthetic components of the road environment resulted in recommendations for improving the road environment along the highway, in some cases by adding new cues of entrance in specifi c locations.

  • Carbon-Sequestering and Oxygen-Producing Functions of Urban Forests of Kyiv City and Pre-Urban Forests of Stockholm City
    Carbon-sequestering and oxygen-producing functions of urban forests of Kyiv city and pre-urban forests of Stockholm city Ivan Lakyda Supervisor: Johan Bergh Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Master Thesis no. 165 Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Alnarp 2011 Carbon-sequestering and oxygen-producing functions of urban forests of Kyiv city and pre-urban forests of Stockholm city Ivan Lakyda Supervisor: Johan Bergh Examiner: Eric Agestam Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Master Thesis no. 165 Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Alnarp 2011 Master thesis in Forest Management, Euroforester master program SLU course code EX0506 Advanced level(E) 30ECTS (HEC) Abstract Interest to carbon-sequestering and oxygen-producing functions of forest has risen considerably during last decades. Abovementioned functions of forest ecosystems acquire special significance in pre-urban and urban forests. These forests perform not only stabilizing and protective functions, but also are a renewable resource. Due to rapid development of modern technologies (bioenergy), the latter named feature becomes more and more important. However, currently there is practically no one scientifically based assessment of abovementioned functions of pre-urban forests, especially in comparison with other regions and countries. The main aim of this study was to assess and quantify carbon sequestration and production of oxygen of selected parts of urban forests of Kyiv city and pre-urban forests of Stockholm city, and to compare the results. Within this study, techniques developed by P. Lakyda (computation of phytomass and sequestered carbon) and N. Tshesnokov and V. Dolgosheev (estimation of oxygen productivity of forests) were applied. Authors have encountered numerous “compatibility problems” with the technique used and the initial datasets.

  • Tätorter 2005 Localities 2005
    MI 38 SM 0601 Tätorter 2005 Localities 2005 I korta drag 1940 tätorter i Sverige år 2005 I Sverige fanns det 1 940 tätorter år 2005. I korthet definieras en tätort som sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Under perioden 2000 till 2005 har 50 nya tätorter tillkommit. Samti- digt har 46 orter upphört som tätorter, därav har 4 tätorter har vuxit samman med annan tätort och 3 tätorter har numera alltför hög andel fritidshusbebyggel- se för att räknas som tätort. 84 procent av Sveriges befolkning bor på 1,3 procent av landarealen År 2005 bodde 7 632 000 personer i tätort vilket motsvarar 84 procent av hela befolkningen. Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolknings- tätheten, mätt som antal invånare per km2 uppgick för tätorter år 2005 i genom- snitt till 1 444 invånare per km. Tätortsbefolkningen bor tätast i Stockholms län med 2 554 invånare per km2 och i Skåne med 1 764 invånare per km2. Befolkningen i tätorter har ökat med 167 000 perso- ner mellan 2000-2005 Mellan 2000 och 2005 har antalet personer som bor i tätorter ökat med 167 000. Det är framför allt tätorter i Storstadskommuner, Förortskommuner, Större stä- der och Pendlingskommuner som ökat i befolkning. Tätorter som ligger i Gles- bygdskommuner och Varuproducerande kommuner har haft minskad befolk- ning. 16 procent av befolkningen bor utanför tätort År 2005 bodde totalt 1 416 000 personer eller 16 procent utanför tätort vilket är en minskning med 2 400 personer jämfört med 2000. De regionala skillnaderna är stora.

  • Botkyrkas Översiktsplan I Korthet
    botkyrkas översiktsplan Översiktsplanen och kartor finns också digitalt på webben: i korthet www.botkyrka.se/oversiktsplan Antagen av kommunfullmäktige 22 maj 2014 FOTO: JOHANNES LILJESON JOHANNES FOTO: 2 är är en kortversion av Botkyrkas nya översiktsplan! HÖversiktsplanen visar hur vi kan utveckla Botkyrka fram till år 2040. Hur vi kan använda marken och vattnet, var vi kan bygga och var vi behöver värna om naturen. Den nya översiktsplanen skiljer sig från Botkyrkas tidigare översiktsplaner. Vi vill gärna få fler invånare i kommunen, men inte låta bebyggelsen breda ut sig. Därför satsar vi på att bygga nytt bland bebyggelse som redan finns och ligger nära kollektivtrafik. På så vis sparar vi våra sammanhängande grönområden. Vi planerar inte Botkyrka som en ö, utan som en del av en storstadsregion med goda förbindelser till övriga Stockholm. Vi vill därför stärka förbindelserna mellan olika delar inom Botkyrka, med Stockholms innerstad och med våra tre närmaste regionala stadskärnor: Flemingsberg, Kungens Kurva–Skärholmen och Södertälje. För detta behövs både nationella investeringar i vägar och regionala investeringar i kollektivtrafiken tillsammans med våra egna satsningar. Översiktsplanen bygger på ett stort engagemang Från start har engagemanget för Botkyrkas långsiktiga utveckling varit stort bland Botkyrkaborna. Medborgardialogen ”Samtal om framtiden” kom igång 2011. Under ett halvt års tid ritades på kartor och framtids- frågor diskuterades. Därefter har vi kommit tillbaka med förslag till över- siktsplan i två omgångar. Varje gång fick vi in synpunkter från Botkyrkabor och från organisationer, grannkommuner och myndigheter av olika slag. Och här är vi nu – Botkyrka har fått en ny gällande översiktsplan som leder oss in i framtiden där hela Stockholmsregionen är i en starkt expansiv fas.
