The ambition is to engage the whole city and its residents in order to achieve the maximum possible participation. This achievement can be quite a challenge with such a long-term project. It requires sensitivity, humility and, above all, persistence. In 2017, we reviewed all the projects that are based on residents’ ideas in order to evaluate how Gothenburg’s anniversary can contribute to the city’s future development.

    World Masters Orienteering Championships Gothenburg 2015 Bulletin 2 Greetings On behalf of the IOF Council I want to welcome you to the World Masters Orienteering Championships in Gothenburg. One of the greatest strengths of our sport is that it is for people of all ages and our annual festival of the WMOC demonstrates that so clearly. I want to thank the Swedish Orienteering Federation for their willingness to host this World Masters Championships and I also want to thank the mayor and people of the City of Gothenburg for what I am sure will be the warmest of welcomes to masters orienteers from all over the world. Above all, I want to wish all those of you who are participating in the Championships, success and enjoyment as you run in the beautiful Swedish forests and may you all make new friends in our great world orienteering family. Brian Porteous, President IOF At last we can welcome you back to Sweden! Welcome to World Masters Orienteering Championships in Sweden and in Gothenburg! Finally our dream will be fulfilled, i.e. to see all the world master orienteerers compete in Gothenburg and its surroundings. Our great hope is that you all will have demanding courses and fair competitions in a beautiful Swedish environment. A Masters Championship is much more than that. Many of you have participated in this competition several times before, perhaps already in Åmål 1988, so you know that no two competitions are the same. This year the vision is a compact event with short distances to everything which we hope you will appreciate.

  • BILAGA TILL HANDLINGSPLANEN I Miljöprogrammets Handlingsplan Hittar Du Kortfattad Information Om Varje Åtgärd
    BILAGA TILL HANDLINGSPLANEN I miljöprogrammets handlingsplan hittar du kortfattad information om varje åtgärd. I denna bilaga finns mer detaljerad information om respektive åtgärd. I bilagan beskriver vi också åtgärdens kostnad och effekt samt ger förslag på samarbetspartners. Informationen i bilagan är tänkt att vara en hjälp och utgångspunkt för genomförandet av åtgärden. I de flesta fall har åtgärderna ursprungligen föreslagits och beskrivits av deltagare i arbetsgrupper under framtagandet av miljöprogrammet. Dessutom har det kommit in synpunkter under remissen som har påverkat åtgärdernas utformning. Vi har utgått från arbetsgruppernas och remissinstansernas synpunkter, men informationen har i många fall varit knapphändig och därför är det ofta vi i projektgruppen som, i dialog med åtgärdsansvariga, har formulerat den slutliga åtgärdsbeskrivningen och effekten samt pekat ut vilka miljömål som är berörda. Alla inkomna synpunkter har inte påverkat åtgärdsbeskrivningarna, men kan ändå vara bra information att ta hänsyn till vid genomförandet av åtgärden. Dessa synpunkter finns samlade i samrådsredogörelsen. I bilagan till handlingsplanen ger vi också förslag på samarbetspartners. Dessa förslag grundar sig i den ursprungliga åtgärdsbeskrivningen och i vad som kommit fram i remissvaren. Det kan hända att fler samarbetspartners blir aktuella när åtgärden väl ska genomföras. Vad det innebär att vara samarbetspartner är olika från fall till fall. Det kan till exempel handla om att arbeta tätt ihop i en arbetsgrupp eller att finnas tillgänglig som kunskapskälla. Det kan också handla om att vara ansvarig för en del av åtgärden. Det kan inte heller uteslutas att det är förenligt med en kostnad att vara samarbetspartner. Av praktiska skäl har vi inte alltid stämt av med de föreslagna samarbetsparterna.
