Depart- ment of Transport and Economics, KTH, Stockholm. ISBN 10: 91-85539-24-4. Abstract Incidents in the road transport system can have large negative consequences for the society and the business community. The basic aim of vulnerability analysis is to identify scenarios that i) would lead to severe consequences, and ii) have some likelihood of being realized in the future. The Thesis proposes two main approaches to vulnerability analysis. The first significant component of the analysis is to identify important links in the road net- work, i.e., links where a disruption would lead to severe consequences. The second component is to identify exposed users, i.e., users for which the consequences of a disruption would be particularly severe. Paper I introduces the concepts of importance and exposure and how they can be operationalized in terms of increased travel time when road links are closed.

It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more speci®cally the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. At present, the ECMT's role primarily consists of: ± helping to create an integrated transport system throughout the enlarged Europe that is economically and technically ef®cient, meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards and takes full account of the social dimension; ± helping also to build a bridge between the European Union and the rest of the continent at a political level.

För att åstadkomma det behöver flera åtgärder genomföras, tex investeringar i infra- strukturen eller att stimulera och underlätta för ett ökat antal hållbara resor längs Mittstråket. Projekt Mittstråket gav hösten 2018 Trivector i uppdrag att ta fram ett kunskapsunderlag som kan användas av ansvariga aktörer för såväl kortsiktig som långsiktig planering av kollektivtrafik och andra åtgärder som bidrar till överflyttning av resande med bil till kollektivtrafik utmed Mittstråket.

Det finns nu 1 956 tätorter i Sverige. År 2010 upphörde 29 områden som tätorter på grund av minskad befolkning. 12 tätorter slogs samman med annan tätort och i en tätort är andelen fritidshus för hög för att den skall klassificeras som tätort. Flest nya tätorter har tillkommit i Stockholms län (16 st) och Skåne län (10 st). En tätort definieras kortfattat som ett område med sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Ingen hänsyn tas till kommun- eller länsgränser. 85 procent av landets befolkning bor i tätort År 2010 bodde 8 016 000 personer i tätorter, vilket motsvarar 85 procent av Sveriges hela befolkning. Tätortsbefolkningen ökade med 383 000 personer mellan 2005 och 2010. Störst har ökningen varit i Stockholms län, följt av Skå- ne och Västra Götaland län. Sju tätorter har fler än 100 000 invånare – Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Upp- sala, Västerås, Örebro och Linköping. Där bor sammanlagt 28 procent av Sveri- ges befolkning. Av samtliga tätorter har 118 stycken fler än 10 000 invånare och 795 stycken färre än 500 invånare. Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolkningstätheten mätt som invånare per km2 har ökat från 1 446 till 1 491 under perioden.

BY HANS W:SON AHLMrANN. INTRODUCTION. T he position of Sweden can scarcely be called advantageous from the point of view of commercial geography. On its peninsula in the north-west cor- ner of Europe, and with its northern boundary abutting on the Polar world, it forms a backwater to the main stream of Continental communications. The southern boundary of Sweden lies in the same latitude as the boundary between Scotland and England, and as Labrador and British Columbia in America; while its northern boundary lies in the same latitude as the northern half of Greenland and the Arctic archipelago of America.

  • Healthy Migrant Perspectives on Disability and Mobility in a Nineteenth-Century Population
    Healthy migrant perspectives on disability and mobility in a nineteenth-century population Johan Junkka, Lotta Vikström and Erling Häggström Lundevaller CEDAR Working Papers 2021:19 Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research Healthy migrant perspectives on disability and mobility in a nineteenth-century population Johan Junkka Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research (CEDAR), Umeå University, Sweden Lotta Vikström Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research (CEDAR), Umeå University, Sweden Erling Häggström Lundevaller Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research (CEDAR), Umeå University, Sweden Abstract The strong association between weak health and immobility suggests why there is insufficient knowledge on how disability affects human migration, historically and today. Swedish parish registers digitized by the Demographic Data Base (DDB), Umeå University, enable this study to investigate a 19th-century population of more than 35,000 including a group long hidden in research and society because of disability. First, rates and regressions demonstrate that disability impeded the migration of both men and women albeit with variations by disability type and over time. During industrialisation the overall migration risk was increasing, but not in case of disability. Second, spatial analysis shows that disability limited the distance migrants crossed, especially in the pre-industrial period and among women. During industrial time, migrants’ distance and destinations became less determined by disability. We address healthy migrant perspectives and lock-in mechanisms to discuss the disability differences in migration.
