  • Nordic Council of Ministers
    COASTAL HERITAGE IN NORWAY Geir Tvedt, adviser, Directorate for cultural heritage in Norway Introduction Thank you for the invitation. It`s a pleasure to present some of the activities which the cultural heritage authorities in Norway have implemented to take care of the historic coastal culture. Exchange of experiences between the nordic countries gives useful perspectives to take home. Bryggen, the old harbour in Bergen, was inscribed on UNESCO´s world heritage list in 1979, one of 7 world heritage sites in Norway. (The other sites is the Struve geodetic arc, the rock carvings in Alta, the Vega archipelago, Røros mining town, the west Norwegian fjords and finally Urnes stave church. Bergen comprehends the main elements of the norwegian coastal culture. Bryggen was one of the foreign stations in the Hansa trading system for over 500 years, and tells us about the importance the fisheries have played for the settlements along the Norwegian coastline and for the development of Norway as a nation. At the quay (ki:) there are two servicevessels, which are witnesses of an another great source of income for Norway, the oil- and gasexplotation. Norway is indeed a lucky country. I work at Riksantikvaren, the Directorate for cultural heritage in Norway, in the planning department, section for interdepartemental issues. I´m edcuated as a lawyer and have been employed at the directorate for cultural heritage since year 2000. My main task is to be in dialogue with other state departments regarding their responsibility for their own cultural history. I specially work with the authorities for fishery and coastal administration at the national level.

The map of Denmark is changing rapidly and radically with the financial growth being focused around major Danish cities resulting in emigration from land to city. Peripheral Denmark has become synonym for the down-spiraling effect which outskirt areas in Denmark are going through. However, outskirt areas also possess unique qualities, such as vast landscapes, local communities and peripheral potentials which make land different from city. Ultimately Denmark is facing an enormous challenge concerning peripheral areas and their destiny. The arguments are many but the decisions are still to be made. Through analysis of numerous campaigns, strategies, empirical data, repports and subjective experiences the aim of Volume 1 is to locate a potential of peripheral Denmark. Ultimately the goal of this master thesis is to shed light on peripheral Denmark and ignite a spark in a heated debate about the approval of 10 coastal projects, by creating

Collaboration has paved the road to success in North Denmark. Over the years, we have successfully moved the region in the right direction through a number of important parameters. Together, we have generated development and growth that benefit the whole of North Denmark, based on a common understanding of the region’s challenges and opportunities. We want to continue this targeted work in a new Strategy for Regional Development (RUS) for the 2020-2023 period. This strategy differs significantly from our previous Regional Strategy for Growth and Development (REVUS), as business development will no longer be one of the Regional Council’s focuses, in accordance with national policy. Instead, there are plenty of other areas and potential to address, such as education, developing the skills of the future workforce, the green transition, climate change adaptation, the environment and international collaboration. We are also working with public transport and infrastructure, as well as initiatives for North Denmark’s rural areas, nature and culture.
