Six goals en route to sustainable development Stockholm is growing and faces the challenge posed by both retaining and developing its unique character. The City must be sustainable and an attractive place for people to live and work. The City generates the preconditions for people’s health and well-being. Goal 1 A good environment creates the potential for a good life. Environmentally This environmental programme is the fifth such programme since the efficient transport first one was produced in the mid-1970s. It contains the goals we have set for the most critical environmental issues. If the City achieves these goals, the reward will be cleaner air, water and soil when the programme period ends in 2006. The goals will also mean a reduction in the number and quantity of hazardous substances that affect both people’s health and the Goal 2 environment. Valuable areas of greenery and water will be protected and Safe products preserved, to the benefit and pleasure of the City’s inhabitants. Achieving these goals will mean a huge step en route to sustainable development. The environmental programme comprises six target areas, in no order of priority. Every target area is linked to one or more of the national environ- mental quality goals. The overall goals are broken down into detailed subsidiary goals which we believe can be achieved during the programme period. The subsidiary Goal 3 goals focus on the causes of environmental problems and the measures that Sustainable energy need to be taken during the programme period. We have chosen this consumption approach because it will enable the City to work preventatively. There should be no need for environmental problems to occur in the first place. Every part of society is affected by the goals laid out in the City’s environ- mental programme, and everyone must work together to ensure that the goals are achieved. This applies not only to individual Stockholmers, but to organisations and businesses, too. The ultimate responsibility lies with the Goal 4 City’s committees and boards, however, and with the companies over which Ecological planning the City has influence. The City’s rights of disposition and ability to exert and management influence have consequently been of considerable importance in identifying the goals formulated in the Environmental Programme. The City can exert its influence in a number of ways, e.g. by setting a good example and by being sensitive to the inhabitants’ questions, views and needs. The City is responsible for a number of issues in which the environmental Goal 5 dimension is a significant one, e.g. physical planning, childcare, schools, Environmentally waste management, the operation and maintenance of roads, civic engineer- efficient waste ing and real estate, the care of green areas and parks, and the supervision of management environmentally hazardous activities. The City of Stockholm can encourage an eco-friendly approach in its capacity as a major purchaser of products and services, by being environ- mentally proactive in its approach and thereby setting a good example. The City’s administrations and municipal companies affected by goals Goal 6 laid down in the Environmental Programme must, themselves, choose the A healthy indoor most environmentally friendly and cost-effective means of achieving these environment goals. Greater familiarity with the cost-effectiveness of environmental measures can improve the decision-making basis from which these administrations and municipal companies operate. Developmental work on this issue is hence vital during the programme period. 3 The Environmental Programme affects all municipal operations The Environmental Programme is based on management • prioritise the City’s environmental work and define the by objectives and the City Council has decided that the various players’ rights of disposition; goals will constitute an important starting point for all • set goals for prioritised areas and stipulate parameters municipal activities.

  • Standardiserat Nätprovfiske I Drevviken
    Standardiserat nätprovfiske i Drevviken En provfiskerapport utförd åt Miljöförvaltningen Stockholm Stad 2015-12-15 Sportfiskarna Tel: 08-410 80 680 E-post: [email protected] Postadress: Svartviksslingan 28, 167 39 Bromma Hemsida: www.sportfiskarna.se © Sportfiskarna 2015 Författare: Tobias Fränstam Omslag/bild/illustration: Tobias Fränstam 1 Sammanfattning I början av augusti 2015 provfiskades Drevviken med 32 sjöprovfiskenät på uppdrag av Stockholms stad. Projektet har delfinansierats av Tyresåns vattenvårdsförbund och Stockholm vatten. Vid provfisket fångades elva olika fiskarter. Abborre, benlöja, björkna, braxen, gers, gädda, gös, mört, ruda, sarv och sutare. Abborren var den mest förekommande fiskarten i provfisket och även den fiskart som utgjorde den största fångstvikten. Förutom abborre domineras sjöns fiskbestånd av vitfiskar med fiskarter som mört, björkna och braxen. Årets provfiske tyder på att Drevviken lider av kraftig närsaltsbelastning. Syrgasförhållandena är dåliga på djupare vatten vilket gör att fisk främst lever i sjöns övre halva under sommaren. Andelen vitfisk i fångsten och totalvikten per nät var högt i provfisket. Båda dessa faktorer är något som indikerar övergödning. Vid detta provfiske fångades ingen nors vilken är en art som tidigare funnits i sjön och som är känslig mot övergödning. Trots ett resultat som pekar på att Drevviken är övergödd kan man se en trend åt att fiskbeståndet, och sjön som ekosystem, har förbättrats jämfört med det tidigare provfisket som utfördes i Drevviken 1997. Nu är artbalansen jämnare med ett större inslag av abborre i fångsten och fisk lever djupare i sjön (förbättrade syrgasförhållanden). Sammantaget verkar fiskbeståndet ha förbättrats. Utöver provfisket gjordes även en vegetationskartering kring Drevvikens stränder med ekolod. Vegetationskarteringen visade att ungefär ¼ av Drevvikens botten är bevuxen med undervattensvegetation.

  • Yngern Är Länets Största Referenssjö Och Provfiskades Under 1998 Av Sjöns Fiskevårdsområdesförening
    1999:14 Provfiske i åtta sjöar i Stockholms län Uppföljning av tidsseriesjöar 1997 och 1998 Miljö- och planeringsavdelningen Provfiske i åtta sjöar i Stockholms län Uppföljning av tidsseriesjöar 1997 och 1998 Länsstyrelsen i Stockholms län Miljöenheten 1998-02-04 1 Förord Under somrarna 1997 och 1998 lät Länsstyrelsen i Stockholms län provfiska sjöarna Drevviken (Huddinge, Haninge, Stockholm och Tyresö kommuner), Långviksträsket (Värmdö kommun), Norrviken (Sollentuna och Upplands Väsby kommuner), Uttran (Botkyrka kommun), Vidsjön (Värmdö kommun) och Svulten (Vallentuna sjön). Provfiskena ingår som en del i den regionala miljöövervakningen av länets regionala tidsseriesjöar, som dels utgörs av relativt opåverkade skogsjöar, dels av mer eller mindre påverkade tätortssjöar. Sjöarna är inte tidigare provfiskade i Länsstyrelsens regi och syftet har därför primärt varit att beskriva fiskbestånden i sjöarna. Förhoppningen är att framtida provfisken, tillsammans med vattenkvalitetsdata, ska bilda ett underlag för att följa förändringar i bestånden. Resultaten från ytterligare två provfisken presenteras trots att de inte är provfiskade i Länsstyrelsen regi. Yngern är länets största referenssjö och provfiskades under 1998 av sjöns fiskevårdsområdesförening. Magelungen provfiskades under 1997 av Sportfiskarna Stockholmsdistriktet och resultaten är här medtagna för att sjön är belägen i omedelbar anslutning till Drevviken och i övrigt hyser stora likheter.

  • Can We Plan for Social Sustainability? a Study of Stora Sköndal, Stockholm
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2020 Can We Plan for Social Sustainability? A Study of Stora Sköndal, Stockholm ERIKA SVENSSON KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract The foundation Stora Sköndal is currently planning a city development programme with a focus on creation of a modern, socially sustainable urban district. The programme is called “Framtidens Stora Sköndal”. With close collaboration with the city planning office in Stockholm and with the aim to contribute to the goals that the City of Stockholm has set for a development of a coherent and socially sustainable city, the foundation aims to build “an inclusive area, characterized by empathy and an open-minded attitude” where people from different backgrounds, different origins, with different economical, physical, and psychological abilities can meet and live together. The programme plan encompasses new housing for approximately 10,000 additional dwellers and thousands of new workplaces. It also includes for example, six character areas and six principles for urban planning that have been developed for the programme to support the goals of creating a socially sustainable urban district of Sköndal. The programme is planned to be implemented by 2035 hence, within this study it will not be possible to draw any conclusions on the final result. Rather, this study is a descriptive study that discusses theory, visions, programme documents and the process behind the programme and the different actors involved. The study has showed that the programme for Framtidens Stora Sköndal has a potential to deliver at least some part of the visions and goals they aiming at.

  • Kräftor Och Kräftpest I Stockholms Län 1996
    0s MåJ> Länsstyrelsen I Stockholms Lä n RAPPORT 1997:07 Kräftor och kräftpest i Stockholms län 1996 Enheten för regional utveckling Text och layout: Lena Svärd Förord Denna rapport om kräftor i Stockholms län har kommit till efter en förfrågan från Fiske­ riverket hösten 1996. De nya riktlinjer som gäller för bevarandet av den biologiska mångfalden har gjort det nödvändigt att se över landets kräftbestånd. Fiskeriverket öns­ kade en redovisning av vilka vatten i länet som ska förbehållas flodkräfta och i vilka vat­ ten utplantering av signalkräfta kan tillåtas. När underlaget togs fram konstaterades att uppgifterna kunde ha allmänt intresse och Länsstyrelsen beslutade att utarbeta följande rapport. Uppgifterna som redovisas i rapporten är hämtade ur Länsstyrelsens sjöregister med kompletteringar gjorda efter en förfrågan som gick ut till kommuner och organisa­ tioner. För varje flod- och kustområde har Länsstyrelsen gjort en bedömning av vilka vattenom­ råden som ska sparas som flodkräftområde eller om tillstånd till utplantering av signal­ kräfta kan lämnas. Vid denna bedömning har hänsyn tagits till hur många sjöar med flod- respektive signalkräfta det finns inom området. Rapporten har tagits fram vid Länsstyrelsens enhet för regional utveckling, fiskefunktio- nen. Miljövårdsenheten har varit behjälplig med många uppgifter. Sammanställning och layout har utförts av Lena Svärd. Rapporten gör inte anspråk på att vara en vetenskapligt undersökning, utan utgör en lä­ gesbeskrivning utifrån de kunskaper Länsstyrelsen för närvarande har. Det innebär att det kan finnas brister i materialet. Det saknas t ex uppgifter om kräftbestånd i många sjöar. Önskvärt vore att undersökningar genom provfiske gjordes av de enskilda bestånden av flod- respektive signalkräfta samt att kräftpestens utbredning i länet närmare analysera­ des.

  • Fate of Nonylphenol in Lakes
    Fate of Nonylphenol in lakes: Case study modelling of two small lakes in Stockholm, Sweden Wei Chang Master of Science Thesis Stockholm 2010 Fate of nonylphenol in lakes: Case study modelling of two small lakes in Stockholm, Sweden Wei Chang Supervisor: Maria E. Malmström June, 2010 Stockholm TRITA-IM 2010:31 ISSN 1402-7615 Industrial Ecology, Royal Institute of Technology www.ima.kth.se Summary Nonylphenol is a widely used organic compound which has been reported to have potential risk to aquatic environment. According to the result of recent studies, it has been detected in many lakes in Stockholm, Sweden, which raised great concern. In this thesis, a dynamic fate model was adopted and modified from literature in order to study the distribution and concentration of nonylphenol in small lakes, guide the field sampling and provide information for corresponding decision making. Two lakes in Stockholm, Lake Trekanten and Lake Drevviken, were selected as case studies. Another model was included for comparison purpose. Based on the model result, the most important nonylphenol removal process in both lakes was the transformation in water. A sensitivity analysis showed that the model results were most sensitive to the process of nonylphenol water inflow. In terms of sediment concentration of nonylphenol, satisfactory agreements were obtained from the comparison between model results and field data. However, problems, such as the simultaneous handling of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates, may cause uncertainties on the model performance. The result of the analysis about scenario load change and the seasonal variation showed that the sediment nonylphenol content is more stable to the seasonal change compare to nonylphenol water content, but the response times to load change of nonylphenol content in these two compartments are quite close and somewhat lower than the water residence time.
