HEADING FOR A GREENER REGION FROM WORD TO DEED rom word to deed That's the necessary step for tack- ling environmental challenges. The Gothenburg region with its 13 municipalities has plenty of good examples of environmental initiatives. There is great diversity to the environmental efforts, encompassing buildings, travel, Fnature, consumption, energy and waste. The dedicated work being done is both inspiring and impressive. Despite all the posi- tive work going on, making this a greener region will be a long process, an important step to join forces in this process is the Green Gothenburg project. This is the umbrella for all the good examples in the region and also welcoming visitors to study our achievements. The Göteborg Region Association of Local Authorities (GR) is a regional planning department and an arena for the munici- palities that allows an overall approach to development. The 13 municipalities have, among other things, reached agreement on how to achieve our joint objective: sustainable growth. Busi- ness Region Göteborg (BRG) is dedicated to strengthening and developing trade and industry in the Gothenburg region. Our goal is to contribute to sustainable growth through cooperation between industry, society and academia. BRG is working towards commercially-driven environmental development and is run- ning a large number of pilot and demo projects in the Gothen- burg region, and is responsible for managing Green Gothenburg.

By planning locally based on the agreement, the regional structure will be realised in the long term. There is strong support for new building developments being concentrated along the main corridors and in the Metropolitan District centred around the Core of Gothenburg, as well as public transport being strengthened there. This provides major benefits, as many people will be within walking or cycling distance of good services and public transport. It also ensures that more land along the coast and more green areas can be spared and be accessible to everyone. www.grkom.se/english 4 5 LOCATION THE CORE LOCATION THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT THE CENTRE OF GOTHENBURG IS FOR EVERYONE LOCATION FILLED GAPS AND COMPACT HUBS ACCESS he core of the Gothenburg region for central Gothenburg to be easy to reach by pub- entred around Gothenburg is a met- for new developments, which can give the district THE OUTDOORS is something of a hub and engine lic transport.

    PART II: OBJECTIVES FOR EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATING MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL 43 │ Chapter 2. Block 1. Multi-level governance: Institutional and financial settings Objective 1.Enhance effectiveness of migrant integration policy through improved vertical co-ordination and implementation at the relevant scale National level: competences for migration-related matters In Sweden, migration and integration policies are designed at the national level; however, there is no “integration code” or guidelines that all levels of government have to follow in their integration process. Since the dismantling in 2007of the former Integration Agency – created in 1998 – each ministry and government agency is responsible for integration in its particular area and integration has to be applied to all areas of policy (Bakbasel, 2012[5]). The Ministry of Justice (responsible for migration, asylum, residence permits) and the Ministry of Employment (responsible for employment, establishment, integration through work) are the two state departments responsible for most of the migration and integration policies. The Equality Ombudsman (DO) is in charge of overseeing discrimination laws. Sweden has intensified efforts to combat discrimination of foreign- born individuals since the 1990s. A comprehensive law against all kinds of discrimination was introduced in 2009. It is impossible, according to some studies, to determine whether these measures have begun to reduce discrimination (DELMI, 2017[15]). Principle of universal access to public services, with a significant exception: The guiding principle of integration politics is that the school system, welfare provisions, labour integration and health care are accessible to all societal groups on the same basis. However, this breaks with past national policies.

The manda- tory participatory meetings in municipal planning are criticized for being slow and ineffcient and alterna- tive, parallel methods of participation are called for. After having followed two municipalities’ efforts in trying their hand at such alternative methods, conclu- sions have been drawn about participation in municipal planning in general. The frst case study in the mu- nicipality of Uddevalla (2009-2011) dealt with specifc participatory methods in practice, while the second case study in the municipality of Lerum (2011-2014) focused on organizational changes. A vast empirical material has been collected in interviews, workshops and meetings, most of which have been audio-recorded.

    TIME for SHIFT CHANGE in the FABRIC of EXISTENCE Exploring the Role of Darkness and Artificial Light for Humans and Biodiversity

    TIME FOR SHIFT CHANGE IN THE FABRIC OF EXISTENCE Exploring the role of darkness and artificial light for humans and biodiversity Author: Maya Strömgren Supervisor: Mattias Sandberg Master’s thesis in Geography with major in Human Geography Spring semester 2021 Department of Economy and Society Unit for Human Geography School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg Student essay: 30 hec Course: GEO230 Level: Master Semester/year: Spring 2021 Supervisor: Mattias Sandberg Examiner: Jerry Olsson Key words: Darkness, artificial light, light pollution, biodiversity, human- non-human relations, all-ecology, non-representational theory. Abstract This thesis departs from the loss of biodiversity due to artificial light at night. The diurnal human has taken over all hours of the day instead of the natural light once, meaning that space and time have become limited for the nocturnal living species. Earlier research concern how darkness and artificial light affect either animals, insects, and plants, or humans’ health. The combination of the two, however, remains largely unresearched. Therefore, this geographical thesis dives into this gap by exploring humans and biodiversity in relation to darkness and artificial light. Building on that exploration, the aim was further to formulate generative ways forward in the matter. A qualitative method was conducted, consisting of a self-written Darkness Diary and walking interviews with a moth-expert, a bat expert, and a light designer and light artist. The theory of all-ecology was applied as an ontological stand and a geographical toolbox. Non- representational theory (NRT) was further applied as a guide in the exploration of experience.

The investigation has been conducted during the period 2009-2011. The date of the final report has, following a government decision (17/11/2011), been postponed until 30 March 2012. The assignment has involved a comprehensive risk analysis incorporating calculations of the prob- ability of landslides and evaluation of the consequences that could arise from such incidents. By identifying the various areas at risk, an assessment has been made of locations where geotechnical stabilising measures may be necessary. An overall cost assessment of the geotechnical aspects of the stabilising measures has been conducted in the areas with a high landslide risk.
