The investigation has been conducted during the period 2009-2011. The date of the final report has, following a government decision (17/11/2011), been postponed until 30 March 2012. The assignment has involved a comprehensive risk analysis incorporating calculations of the prob- ability of landslides and evaluation of the consequences that could arise from such incidents. By identifying the various areas at risk, an assessment has been made of locations where geotechnical stabilising measures may be necessary. An overall cost assessment of the geotechnical aspects of the stabilising measures has been conducted in the areas with a high landslide risk.

Epidemiological investigations performed using a questionnaire survey showed an association between consumption of municipal drinking water and illness (odds ratio 4·73, 95% confidence interval 3·53–6·32), and a strong correlation between the risk of being sick and the number of glasses of municipal water consumed. Diverse NoV strains were detected in stool samples from patients, NoV genotype I strains predominating. Although NoVs were not detected in water samples, coliphages were identified as a marker of viral contamination. About 2400 (18·5%) of the 13000 inhabitants in Lilla Edet became ill. Costs associated with the outbreak were collected via a questionnaire survey given to organizations and municipalities involved in or affected by the outbreak. Total costs including sick leave, were estimated to be ∼8700000 Swedish kronor (∼€0·87 million).

  • Depopulation and Local Development?
    Depopulation and local development? A comparative study of small rural oriented municipalities on the west coast of Sweden Authors: Ariana Safari and Papola Kani Supervisor: Per Assmo Examiner: Ann Towns Bachelor’s thesis in Political Science 15 ECTS Department of Economics and Informatics University West Spring term 2012 Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate municipal development activities of rural oriented areas of the west coast of Sweden. The chosen municipalities for this study are Tanum, Munkedal, Sotenäs and Orust where the aim is to give an understanding to the different municipalities work towards achieving local development and opposing depopulation. The nature of this study is primarily qualitative with a lightly deductive orientation since the presented concept of push and pulls factors of migration and the concept of governance with top down and bottom up approaches is used to understand and analyze the empirics. The empirics of this study give answer to the population situation of the municipalities, the prioritized factors for local development and methods adopted to oppose depopulation. The primary conclusion is that the problem of depopulation is handled by promoting local development through economical means in most municipalities. Key words: Governance, Push and pull factors, Local development, Depopulation, Municipal visionary documents. 2 Table of Content List of Tables and Figures 4 1. Introduction and General Aim 5 2.

  • Potentials of Entrepreneurial Approaches in Addressing Global Societal Challenges: the Case of Fresh Water Supply
    Submitted by: Alaleh Fallah Toussi (11735049) Submitted at: Institute of Innovation Management Supervisor: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Matthias Fink December 2020 Potentials of Entrepreneurial Approaches in Addressing Global Societal Challenges: The Case of Fresh Water Supply Master’s Thesis to confer the academic degree of Master of Science in the Master’s Program Management JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at DVR 0093696 Statutory Declaration I hereby declare that the thesis submitted is my own unaided work, that I have not used other than the sources indicated, and that all direct and indirect sources are acknowledged as references. This printed thesis is identical with the electronic version submitted. Linz, 20.12.2020 2 Abstract This research “originally” aims to examine the general issues of water distribution to consumers in dispersed areas in Sweden and the question if a startup could be a solution to their current and future issues. My goal is to clarify how an entrepreneurial business model can look up for disperse areas in Sweden in order to distribute water and deliver energy supplies to inhabitants. In doing so, we have selected the municipality of Lilla Edet in Västra Götaland County of Sweden as an example. Although this research in particular focuses on scattered areas in Sweden, the insights and the conclusions could be possibly practical elsewhere in Europe, Africa or the Middle East. 3 Acknowledgement I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my patient University Professor and also Supervisor, Professor Dr. Fink who has always supported me through the entire process of conducting my thesis from the beginning until the end.

    HEADING FOR A GREENER REGION FROM WORD TO DEED rom word to deed That's the necessary step for tack- ling environmental challenges. The Gothenburg region with its 13 municipalities has plenty of good examples of environmental initiatives. There is great diversity to the environmental efforts, encompassing buildings, travel, Fnature, consumption, energy and waste. The dedicated work being done is both inspiring and impressive. Despite all the posi- tive work going on, making this a greener region will be a long process, an important step to join forces in this process is the Green Gothenburg project.

The aim here is to investigate the interest and the possibilities to complement existing block and district heating systems based on solid biofuels with a solar heating system within Region Västra Götaland. The paper summarises the first step of the project, a survey of existing plants. The survey comprises more than 110 heating plants, out of which about 40 plants based on wood chips, about 35 plants based on wood pellets and close to 10 plants based on wood briquettes. The initial experiences confirm that the implementation of solar heating plants rely on the possibilities to increase the interest although there is a large potential to improve the efficiency of existing plants. 1. INTRODUCTION with a solar heating system within Region Västra Götaland. The project will be carried out in three steps as Region Västra Götaland comprises 1.6 million inhabi- described below. tants on 24 000 km 2, i.e. 66 inhabitants per km 2, which is First, a survey is initiated and evaluated.
