An Assessment of Park & Ride in Gothenburg
HANDELSHÖGSKOLAN - GRADUATE SCHOOL MASTER THESIS Supervisor: Michael Browne Graduate School An assessment of Park & Ride in Gothenburg A case study on the effect of Park & Ride on congestion and how to increase its attractiveness Written by: Sélim Oucham Pedro Gutiérrez Touriño Gothenburg, 27/05/2019 Abstract Traffic congestion is with environmental pollution one of the main cost externalities caused by an increased usage of cars in many cities in the last decades. In many ways, traffic congestion impacts the everyday life of both drivers and citizens. In this thesis, the authors study how one solution designed to tackle congestion, the Park & Ride service, is currently used in the city of Gothenburg, where it is referred as Pendelparkering. This scheme allows commuters to park their car outside the city and then use public transport to their destination, thus avoiding having more cars in the city centre and reducing congestion. The goal is to know to what extent it helps solving the problem of congestion as well as how it can be ameliorated to make it more attractive. In order to do so, an analysis of the theory on Park & Ride and traffic congestion is performed, including a benchmark of three cities using the system and different views on its effectiveness in reducing congestion. Then, an empirical study relating to the City of Gothenburg is realized. The challenges around Park & Ride and the way different stakeholders organise themselves to ensure the service is provided in a satisfying way are thoroughly investigated. Interviews with experts and users, on- site observations and secondary data collection were used as different approaches to answer these questions. -

Saami and Scandinavians in the Viking
Jurij K. Kusmenko Sámi and Scandinavians in the Viking Age Introduction Though we do not know exactly when Scandinavians and Sámi contact started, it is clear that in the time of the formation of the Scandinavian heathen culture and of the Scandinavian languages the Scandinavians and the Sámi were neighbors. Archeologists and historians continue to argue about the place of the original southern boarder of the Sámi on the Scandinavian peninsula and about the place of the most narrow cultural contact, but nobody doubts that the cultural contact between the Sámi and the Scandinavians before and during the Viking Age was very close. Such close contact could not but have left traces in the Sámi culture and in the Sámi languages. This influence concerned not only material culture but even folklore and religion, especially in the area of the Southern Sámi. We find here even names of gods borrowed from the Scandinavian tradition. Swedish and Norwegian missionaries mentioned such Southern Sámi gods such as Radien (cf. norw., sw. rå, rådare) , Veralden Olmai (<Veraldar goð, Frey), Ruona (Rana) (< Rán), Horagalles (< Þórkarl), Ruotta (Rota). In Lule Sámi we find no Scandinavian gods but Scandinavian names of gods such as Storjunkare (big ruler) and Lilljunkare (small ruler). In the Sámi languages we find about three thousand loan words from the Scandinavian languages and many of them were borrowed in the common Scandinavian period (550-1050), that is before and during the Viking Age (Qvigstad 1893; Sammallahti 1998, 128-129). The known Swedish Lapponist Wiklund said in 1898 »[...] Lapska innehåller nämligen en mycket stor mängd låneord från de nordiska språken, av vilka låneord de äldsta ovillkorligen måste vara lånade redan i urnordisk tid, dvs under tiden före ca 700 år efter Kristus. -
Göteborgsregionens Infarter
Designprogram Göteborgsregionens infarter GÖTEBORGSREGIONENS INFARTER Ett samarbetsprojekt mellan Vägverket och de fem kommunerna Ale, Göteborg, Härryda, Mölndal och Partille. FÖRORD Denna bok ersätter den tidigare upplagan av Göteborgsregionens infarter ”Designprogram”. Boken presenterar resultatet av ett gränsöverskridande sam- arbete där ett stort antal aktörer satt sig tillsammans och tagit ansvaret för att förbättra trafikantens möjligheter till positiva upplevelser i den vägmiljö som går under namnet Göteborgsregionens infarter. Bakgrunden ligger bl a i ett princip- beslut att s.k. fula och störande miljöer ska åtgärdas. Dessa miljöer har inte alltid varit prioriterade i den allmänna vägplaneringen, trots att de har en väldigt stor betydelse för totalupplevelsen för bilföraren och dennes passagerare. Kunskaper om detta har under senare år medfört att man inom vägplaneringen mer och mer månar om att visa upp vackra och för orienterbarheten viktiga och betydelsefulla delar av stadslandskapet. Det har också inneburit att man i många projekt väljer att förbättra utformningen av den vägnära miljön. Ett antal personer har varit delaktiga i detta arbete med att diskutera och planera för mer attraktiva infarter. Denna bok är tänkt att tjäna som en vägledning och inspirationskälla, tillsammans med dess fem detaljstudier: Belysning, Rondeller, Bullerskydd, Portaler och Vägutrustning. De tar fasta på en helhet och ett försök till en arkitektonisk samordning mellan Göteborgsregionens infarter. Håkan Wennerström Vägdirektör Vägverket Region Väst -
18Th Viking Congress Denmark, 6–12 August 2017
18th Viking Congress Denmark, 6–12 August 2017 Abstracts – Papers and Posters 18 TH VIKING CONGRESS, DENMARK 6–12 AUGUST 2017 2 ABSTRACTS – PAPERS AND POSTERS Sponsors KrKrogagerFondenoagerFonden Dronning Margrethe II’s Arkæologiske Fond Farumgaard-Fonden 18TH VIKING CONGRESS, DENMARK 6–12 AUGUST 2017 ABSTRACTS – PAPERS AND POSTERS 3 Welcome to the 18th Viking Congress In 2017, Denmark is host to the 18th Viking Congress. The history of the Viking Congresses goes back to 1946. Since this early beginning, the objective has been to create a common forum for the most current research and theories within Viking-age studies and to enhance communication and collaboration within the field, crossing disciplinary and geographical borders. Thus, it has become a multinational, interdisciplinary meeting for leading scholars of Viking studies in the fields of Archaeology, History, Philology, Place-name studies, Numismatics, Runology and other disciplines, including the natural sciences, relevant to the study of the Viking Age. The 18th Viking Congress opens with a two-day session at the National Museum in Copenhagen and continues, after a cross-country excursion to Roskilde, Trelleborg and Jelling, in the town of Ribe in Jylland. A half-day excursion will take the delegates to Hedeby and the Danevirke. The themes of the 18th Viking Congress are: 1. Catalysts and change in the Viking Age As a historical period, the Viking Age is marked out as a watershed for profound cultural and social changes in northern societies: from the spread of Christianity to urbanisation and political centralisation. Exploring the causes for these changes is a core theme of Viking Studies. -

World Masters Orienteering Championships Gothenburg 2015 Bulletin 2
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. -
