  • The Need for Social Acceptance Creating a Legitimate Planning Process of a Moomin Theme Park
    The need for social acceptance Creating a legitimate planning process of a Moomin theme park Johanna Knutsson Master thesis in Human Geography, 30 hp Master’s Programme in Spatial Planning and Development, 120 hp Spring term 2019 Abstract The research in this paper examined the legitimacy of land-use planning when there are polarizing views of how a specific project should develop. The focused was on the case study of Skutberget in the municipality of Karlstad, Sweden, were two separate planning processes are ongoing. The current development plans regards a Moomin inspired theme park where the company Moomin OY is the developer, as well as an improvement and development of the existing recreational park were the municipality is the responsible part. In a Swedish context, municipalities have a strong authority when it comes to land-use planning, a right often labelled as a “planning monopoly”. This research fills a gap in the scientific academic literature when it comes to assessing democratic processes on a local level, with a special regard to spatial planning. Legitimacy in a representative democracy is a multifaceted concept, which requires both aspects of political representation and social acceptance for a decision to be deemed legitimate. With the case study, political representation regarding both a desire and aversion of developing Skutberget exist. This difference in opinion regarding the development of Skutberget is reflected in public attitude as well, were the theme park of Moomin OY is the biggest dispute. People reflecting different perceptions have taken it upon themselves to engage with media outlets to vocalise their opinions and news articles of the development of Skutberget is a recurring feature in local newspapers.

  • Skoghalls Bangolfklubb 30 ÅR Historik 1976
    Skoghalls Bangolfklubb 30 ÅR Historik 1976 - 2005 FÖRORD 30 år är en lång tid. Några av oss har varit med hela vägen, några i längre eller kortare perioder och några har precis blivit medlemmar. Detta innebär förstås att våra minnen av Skoghalls BGK varierar, men oavsett utgångspunkt är de säkert övervägande positiva. Skoghalls BGK satte full fart från start med en omfattande verksamhet som sedan har vidhållits under alla år. Detta får anses som en styrka då sporten i allmänhet gått kraftigt bakåt under denna period. På den tid klubben startades fanns många stora föreningar i Värmland och konkurrensen var hård. Problem som då diskuterades var hur man skulle hinna genomföra nationella tävlingar med startfält på 150-200 spelare. Idag är bilden en annan då man får vara nöjd om man får ihop 60 spelare till sin tävling. Skoghalls BGK har klarat av att hålla sig emot den negativa trenden genom en aktiv verksamhet med nya idéer och ett hårt arbete för att få en trivsam och bra bangolf- anläggning. Så jag anser att vi stolt kan se tillbaka på de 30 åren som gått och denna jubileumsskrift kommer att ge er flera prov på detta. Här finner ni varje år redovisat med ett axplock av intressanta händelser. Materialet är till stor del hämtat från styrelseprotokoll, årsberättelser, tidningsurklipp samt den famösa tidskriften Kornknarren. Lars Broddevall FÖRHISTORIA I början av 1970-talet bestämde sig Jan Sjölund och Ola Lundblad från City Golf för att bygga en minigolfanläggning i Skoghall. De inledde diskussioner med Hammarö kommun om lämplig plats för banorna. Flera förslag fanns där ett exempel var på gräsytorna mellan Nyskolan, numera Fastbergs och Brandstationen.
