  • Regional Transportplan Hordaland 2018-2029
    Vedtatt i fylkestinget juni 2017 Regional transportplan Hordaland 2018-2029 Forord Hordaland fylkeskommune har vedteke sin andre regionale transportplan (RTP). RTP er eit politisk styringsdokument og verktøy som skal sikre ein føreseieleg og heilskapleg samferdselspolitikk. Planen tek utgangspunkt i nasjonale og regionale føringar. Denne nye utgåva av RTP 2018 - 2029 har ein målstruktur med vekt på korleis klimagassutslepp frå transportsektoren kan reduserast. Dette samsvarer med fokusområda i «Areal- og Transportplan for Bergensområdet 2017-2028» (ATP) og målsettinga med «Byvekstavtalen for Bergen» som vart forhandla fram i mai 2017. Byvekstavtalen og Regional areal- og transportplan for Bergensområdet, er saman med RTP sentrale styringsdokument i arbeidet med miljøvennleg utvikling av Bergen og omliggande tettstader. For å lukkast må sentrale planer og avtaler stø opp om kvarandre og ta utgangspunkt i ei felles målsetting om nullvekst i biltrafikken. RTP sine strategiar og tiltak viser at Hordaland fylkeskommune tek klima- utfordringane på alvor og viser vilje til målretta satsing for utsleppskutt i transportsektoren i fylket. Det er ressurskrevjande å gje vegvedlikehald tilstrekkeleg prioritet, og difor er utbetring av fylkesvegnettet via stor merk- semd i RTP. Hordaland har eit ca 3000 km langt fylkesvegnett som mellom anna består av ei rekke eldre bruer og tunellar, samt ferjekaier. Fleire vegstrekningar har i dag ein standard som skapar utfordringar for trafikkavviklinga i dag og i tida framover. I tillegg er krava til trafikktryggleik skjerpa. Difor er det eit viktige prinsipp i RTP at utbetringar av eksisterande vegnett skal prioriterast framfor nye vegprosjekt, og at det ved utbetringar vert lagt opp til nøktern standard. For å styre prioriteringane på ein god måte vert det utarbeid eit investeringsprogram for fylkesvegnettet som skal ha tett kopling til årlege budsjett og fireårig økonomiplan.

  • MS Serenissima
    VOYAGES ABOARD THE MS SERENISSIMA MEDiterranean - NORWEGIAN FJOrds - UK APRIL TO SEPTEMBER 2019 2 www.noble-caledonia.co.uk Dolphins Small Ship Cruising aboard the MS Serenissima Ships of all different sizes and styles can make the selection of a cruise a somewhat hit and miss affair, and whilst some companies attempt to please everybody, we prefer to continue with our focus on small ships and to that end are delighted to have once again chartered the 95 passenger, MS Serenissima for a series of fascinating cruises in 2019. In many ways the virtues of small ship cruising are best expressed by detailing what you will not find on board. For instance, there will be no organised entertainment and no black tie events. What there will be is a warm and peaceful atmosphere in which you can learn more about the wonders of nature, culture and ancient civilisations in the company of like-minded people in comfortable surroundings and with a high level of service. Due to her size, the MS Serenissima has the freedom of the seas and can come alongside in small docks or drop anchor in any suitable spot allowing us to still seek out and visit the ports which the larger cruise ships are unable to access. Whilst on board you can listen to presentations from our onboard Guest Speakers and the informative port briefings from our Cruise Director and when ashore, explore the sites with our expert local guides. We will also ensure, whenever possible, that you have some time to discover the destination independently if you wish.

  • Næringsanalyse Stord, Fitjar Og Sveio
    Næringsanalyse Stord, Fitjar og Sveio Av Knut Vareide og Veneranda Mwenda Telemarksforsking-Bø Arbeidsrapport 35/2007 ____________________Næringsanalyse Stord, Fitjar og Sveio_____________ Forord Denne rapporten er laget på oppdrag fra SNU AS. Hensikten var å få fram utviklingen i næringslivet i kommunene Stord, Fitjar og Sveio. Telemarksforsking-Bø har i de siste årene publisert næringsNM for regioner, hvor vi har rangert næringsutviklingen i regionene i Norge. I dette arbeidet er det konstruert en næringslivsindeks basert på fire indikatorer: Lønnsomhet, vekst, nyetableringer og næringstetthet. Oppdragsgiver ønsket å få belyst utviklingen av næringslivsindeksen og delindikatorene for de tre aktuelle kommunene. Når det gjelder indikatorene for vekst og lønnsomhet, er disse basert på regnskapene til foretakene. Disse er tilgjengelige i september i det etterfølgende året. Dermed er det tallene for 2005 som er benyttet i næringslivsindeksen i denne rapporten. Vi har likevel tatt med tall for nyetableringer i 2006 i denne rapporten, ettersom disse er tilgjengelige nå. I næringslivsindeksen er det imidlertid etableringsfrekvensen for 2005 som er telt med.

  • Norwegian Salmon Goes to Market: the Case of the Austevoll Seafood Cluster
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Journal of Rural Studies 22 (2006) 190–204 www.elsevier.com/locate/jrurstud Norwegian salmon goes to market: The case of the Austevoll seafood cluster John Phynea,Ã, Gestur Hovgaardb, Gard Hansenc aDepartment of Sociology and Anthropology, St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, NS, Canada bCenter for Local and Regional Development, Klaksvı´k, The Faroes cDepartment of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Abstract This paper examines the impact of the globalisation of the farmed salmon commodity chain upon farmed salmon production in the western Norwegian municipality of Austevoll. On the basis of field research conducted in 2002 and 2003, we conclude that salmon farming in Austevoll has responded to the challenges of ‘buyer-driven’ food chains by virtue of its history as a seafood cluster. Despite the vertical relations assumed in the literature on ‘buyer-driven’ food chains, the horizontal relations in Austevoll have proven resilient in this era of ‘homogenised globalisation’. Nevertheless, recent changes in the global farmed salmon supply chain may result in the imposition of vertical relations in the Austevoll cluster. We conclude with suggestions for incorporating the literatures on global food chains and industrial clusters in the study of seafood production and global markets. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
