SKB's overall evaluation is that the municipality of Mala could provide good pros- pects for a deep repository. We would like to mention two factors in particular as arguments in support of this conclusion; the bedrock and the local mining tradition. The bedrock is decisive in determining the feasibility of achieving safe disposal, and there are large areas in Mala Municipality where we judge the bedrock conditions to be good. We cannot determine, however, whether a particular site is definitely suitable from the feasibility study - that will require direct investigations on the site. The mining industry, with all its peripheral activities, has through the years made Mala a centre of knowledge on geoscience and underground rock excavation. We are familiar with the value of this knowledge because specialists from Mala - geologists, geophysicists, diamond drillers and others - have participated in SKB's development activities since the start in the 1970s.

It also contains SKB's collective evaluation of the results (Chapter 11). A status report was published in June 1994. The purpose of the status report was to give the municipality, its reference group and other interested groups in Storuman and in the region, a basis for discussion and opinions before the final report was written. Numerous viewpoints have been presented and have occasioned some supplemen- tary studies or adjustments and additions to the final report. The viewpoints of the reference group on the status report are compiled in an appendix to this final report. For SKB's part, this report represents the conclusion of the feasibility study. As is evident from the viewpoints of the reference group, there are important questions that have not been fully answered within the framework of the feasibility study. Answering some of these questions requires information that can only be provided by a site investigation. Other questions of a more general nature can be taken up if the final evaluation of the feasibility study results in a common interest to continue site investigations in Storuman.

  • New Perspectives on Demographic Change in Resource Peripheries in Australia and Sweden
    Comparative Population Studies Vol. 41, 3-4 (2016): 379-406 (Date of release: 14.12.2016) Decline, Adaptation or Transformation: New Perspectives on Demographic Change in Resource Peripheries in Australia and Sweden Dean B. Carson, Doris A. Carson, Rob Porter, Celia Yoshida Ahlin, Peter Sköld Abstract: Many sparsely populated resource peripheries in developed countries are perceived to suffer from periods of demographic decline due to loss of employ- ment opportunities and services, youth out-migration and population ageing. While these trends tend to apply at broad regional scales and for particular time periods, diverse patterns of demographic change may be apparent if different spatial, tem- poral and social scales of analysis are taken into consideration. Comparing the ex- periences of two case study regions in northern Sweden and inland South Australia, this paper proposes an alternative conceptual framework to the “discourse of de- cline”, which could be used to examine the nuances of demographic change within resource peripheries. The framework includes spatial scale considerations that con- trast broader regional demographic patterns with the experiences of sub-regions and individual settlements. It also includes temporal scale aspects, examining de- mographic change over different time periods to understand the pace, duration and frequency of population growth and decline. The framework fi nally includes social unit considerations, emphasising that demographic change affects different social groups in different ways. The results of the case studies suggest that considering demographic change as adaptation or transformation rather than decline may be more useful for identifying new – and qualitatively different – demographic path- ways that emerge over time.

Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-85149 Chapter 8. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the welfare state: Experiences from mining communities in Sweden Erika Knobblock Department of Geography and Economic History, Umeå University, Sweden Introduction The last 15-20 years the research field of social responsibility has grown significantly, attracting international policy interest, most often under the heading of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (EU-COM 2006, De Geer et al. 2010, Brejning 2012). The CSR concept has gained interest through the debate about globalization, competitiveness and sustainability (EU-COM 2006). The outcome is a vast amount of literature on the implementation and outcomes of CSR initiatives on companies. However, the effects of CSR on society have been to a large extent neglected in research (Banerjee 2010, Brejning 2012). As a result, little is known about the effects of social responsibility initiatives on society and communities, and about the possible differences between places and contexts. Until the first decades of the 20th century, mining and other types of natural resource extraction contributed to the establishment of new settlements and to development of existing communities in Sweden.
