Laponia World Heritage” Norra Norrland (SE): Development of the “Laponia World Heritage” SUMMARY The aim of the initiative was to develop the “World Heritage Laponia” as a tourist destination by safeguarding the indigenous culture, nature and the environment. The area is situated in inland Norra Norrland, in northern Sweden. UNESCO recognised it as a World Heritage area in 1996 due to its great cultural value as the historic area where the Sami ethnic minority group settled, as well as its ecological diversity. Within the area there are nine Sami reserves, four national parks and two nature reserves, so most of the territory is protected as a natural treasure. The area is one of the most sparsely populated in Europe: six percent of the country’s population lives in a territory which makes up 40 percent of Sweden’s total land area (1 to 3 inhabitants per square km). The objective of the project, which started in 2003, was to encourage tourist and craft activities in the “World Heritage Laponia” area and develop it as a resort by strengthening sustainable ecological tourism within the protected part, in order to diversify and generate new employment opportunities for the local and Sami population. The tourist sector is underdeveloped, and is based mainly on small, family-run businesses. Some of the enterprises combine tourist activities with other income sources, like reindeer-herding, employment in the local mining industry or in the service sector. The main activities during the 2000 to 2006 Structural Fund period targeted the basic conditions for development of the tourist industry, such as skills, product and destination development, and the creation of conditions for a more structured collaboration with the commercial aspect of tourism. It comprised competence development activities, including training and seminars, breakfast meetings and capacity workshops, as well as networking support, joint commitment and cooperation. The goals encompassed increased collaboration and participation to improve tourist products. Nine study and promotion trips for local entrepreneurs and tour operators were organized. During the second phase of the project, a website and prospect materials were developed, including the “Laponia” trademark, to promote the area more forcefully as a tourist attraction. The “Laponia” trademark allows for more unified coordination of tourist activities in the area and greater marketing impact. Furthermore, it contributes to enhancement of the local tourist business as presented in national and international travel markets and promotes the marketing of local handicraft products. The initiative was managed and implemented by the local municipalities Jokkmokk and Gällivare, which set up an office to support and coordinate tourism. The Norrbotten County Administration Board (including both municipalities) held a place in the steering group project organization and cooperated with the Swedish Tourist Board and the Association of Sami Husbandry. The main beneficiaries of the project were the local family tourist businesses offering sustainable outdoor and cultural activities, some of which are run by the Sami population. They received training and information to improve their businesses. Start-ups were also supported. By involving local producers, especially Sami reindeer herders, the project aims at further supporting the Sami ethnic minority groups and their local traditions. 1 The initiative has been successful in stimulating the future development potential of the area as a tourist destination. The project area is characterized by low economic development, also because of its denomination as a natural park, which hampers certain economic activities. Supporting and stimulating development of the area as a tourist destination might open up new employment and income possibilities for local entrepreneurs in the mid and long term. The purpose of the project was to increase the competiveness of the local tourist market, by creating joint commitments and support for future development. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Country: Sweden Region: Norra Norrland Full project title: Laponia World Heritage Duration of project: 2002 - 2007 Funding: ERDF, Municipalities of Jokkmokk and Gällivare, the Council of Norrbotten and the County Administration Board of Norrbotten, and private investments. Total budget: € 897,480 (€ 616,636 from 2002-2005 and 280,844€ from 2006-2007) ERDF contribution: € 541,288 (60%) (€ 400,574 from 2002-2005 and € 140,714 from 2006-2007) Themes: Tourism and Culture Business Support (Start up, spin off, incubators, Business advisory services) Social Inclusion - ethnicity (Employment and labour market) Territorial dimension of regional development (Regional Cooperation) 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The overall objective of the project was to stimulate the tourist sector with sustainable ecological tourism, aiming at long-term sustainable economic growth through diversification of local activities and alternative income possibilities brought about by new employment opportunities, also for the local Sami population. The activities were implemented in two phases: the first phase was dedicated to the identification of the tourist potential of the area, while the second regarded the implementation and marketing of possible activities. In the first phase of the project, from 2003 to 2005, the main activities were mapping resources and possibilities, as well as determining the weaknesses and problems of the area in relation to the tourist industry, in order to identify possible areas of intervention. During this 2 project phase, the activities also aimed at developing the skills of local entrepreneurs, especially of the local Sami population working in the tourist field, and improving the quality of tourist services. Activities included training courses and workshops, advisory services and exchanges. The seminars included issues like eco-tourism, hosting, “best of nature”, tour quality, medical-plants, Sami storytelling, travel insurance, marketing, product-development and marketing of Sami tourist products. Further, a website was created including tourist information offering ecological and local activities. The establishment of contacts with the local family enterprises was supported with regular breakfast meetings (13 meetings were held) and seven info-meetings, where they were able to network and obtain information. Workshops for local entrepreneurs and tourist-agencies were offered and in total 16 seminars on tourism-related issues, Sami culture, and organisational aspects. The activities also included support for start-ups and offered certification for already established enterprises working in tourism, as well as for the new ventures. During the programme 26 enterprises participated in local and regional fairs and 25 in national and international fairs. The second phase, from 2006 to 2007, saw the establishment of the “Laponia” trademark on the national and international travel market by promoting the website (http://www.laponia.nu) and creating a tourist manual for tour operators “What to know when selling Laponia tours”. A multi-lingual promotional DVD (in English, French and Italian) and a Laponia-map in different languages was produced, and ten newsletters and about 50 newspaper articles were published. In order to stimulate exchange, in 2006, a study trip for 11 Sami tourism entrepreneurs to Italy was organized, as well as the promotion of 9 tours for travel agents, in order to advertise the area as a new travel destination. The main beneficiaries were local entrepreneurs working in tourism. These are mainly small part-time or full-time businesses, where tourist activities are often combined with other income activities (like reindeer husbandry in the case of the Sami population), especially in the case of family-run businesses. Altogether, 28 entrepreneurs participated in the project activities, 20 succeeding in increasing the number of new customers. Nine start-up entrepreneurs profited from the project, of which 5 were Sami companies. Three of the participating enterprises received quality certification as eco-tourism companies and diversified their products, and two companies were at the stage of receiving certification. Nine companies participated in “tour-quality” capacitation. 2. POLITICAL AND STRATEGIC CONTEXT The regional development activities of Laponia are planned with the consideration that protecting the natural heritage and culture is an important aspect for sustainable regional growth. The protection of the natural environment goes together with the maintenance and improvement of the life-quality in the inland region, which is characterized by small and vulnerable labour markets with a low concentration of employers, and diverse structural problems. High unemployment rates and out-commuting to the coastal cities remain an important challenge. In order to stimulate the local tourist market and for protection of natural areas, the national Ministry of Culture implemented a Swedish National Heritage Board, responsible for heritage and historic environment issues, ensuring their protection and preservation. The sustainable development of tourism is further enmeshed in the national strategy which is supported by the 3 Nordic Council of Ministers (including Greenland, Iceland and the Northern regions of Norway, Sweden and Finland). The Nordic Council coordinates the Nordic country activities in order to strengthen the travel and tourist industries by improving conditions for resort development through partnerships, marketing

  • Organisational Self-Understanding and the Strategy Process
    OLOF BRUNNINGE OLOF BRUNNINGE OLOF BRUNNINGE Organisational self-understanding Organisational self-understanding and the strategy process and the strategy process Organisational Strategy dynamics in Scania and Handelsbanken self-understanding and This thesis investigates the role of organisational self-understanding in strategy processes. The concept of organisational self-understanding denotes members’ the strategy process understanding of their organisation’s identity. The study illustrates that strategy processes in companies are processes of self-understanding. During strategy ma- king, strategic actors engage in the interpretation of their organisation’s identity. Strategy dynamics in Scania and Handelsbanken This self-understanding provides guidance for strategic action while it at the same time implies understanding strategic action from the past. Organisational self-understanding is concerned with the maintenance of in- stitutional integrity. In order to achieve this, those aspects of self-understanding that have become particularly institutionalised need to develop in a continuous manner. Previous literature on strategy and organisational identity has put too much emphasis on the stability/change dichotomy. The present study shows that it is possible to maintain continuity even in times of change. Such continuity can be established by avoiding strategic action that is perceived as disruptive with regard to self-understanding and by providing interpretations of the past that make developments over time appear as free from ruptures. Self-undertsanding is hence an inherently historical phenomenon. Empirically, this study is based on in-depth case studies of strategy processes in two large Swedish companies, namely the truck manufacturer Scania and the bank Handelsbanken. In each of the companies, three strategic themes in which 027 JIBS Dissertation Series No.

Title Climate and energy strategy for the county of Norrbotten 2020–2024 Photographs Johnér, Mostphotos Authors Ylva Sardén, Ida Heintz, Paulina Henriksson Contact person Sophie Forsberg Johansson County Administrative Board of Norrbotten County, 971 86 Luleå Contact information +46 (0)10-225 50 00, [email protected] www.lansstyrelsen.se Report number 7/2019 ISSN 0283-9636 2 Foreword Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. What was once true of yesterday is not the case today and especially not tomorrow. Therefore, we must be responsive, alert and flexible so that we dare to prioritise, also when conditions change, and we shall adapt the society to the future. The climate issue is of course extensive and complicated, but it also presents opportunities to develop solutions for energy and climate change adaptation that can contribute to both sustainable development and economic growth. In addition, we have the opportunity to discuss and coordinate on issues that have often been seen as opposites. At the same time, the climate goal has a deadline and must be prio- ritised since the reality is that the problem is rapidly reaching a point where the effects of emissions will be of a lasting or irreversible nature. This means that if we take too long discussing and coordina- ting without getting down to action, stopping all forms of emissions will no longer make a difference. The aim of Norrbotten’s climate and energy strategy is to keep the increase of the earth’s average temperature to well below two degrees.

  • Destination Management Organizations
    Destination Management Organizations And Their Effect on Japanese Tourism to Norrbotten County Department of Business Administration International Business Bachelor thesis Spring 2014 Markus Jansson 880614-7511 Håkan Jernberg 900323-5778 Tutor: Inge Ivarsson Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to study the work of destination management organizations, henceforth called DMOs, in Norrbotten, Sweden’s northernmost county. Specifically, the thesis examines how the work of these organizations has affected the Japanese tourism to the region, which has been growing in the last few years. To accomplish this, previous research on destination development, DMOs, and factors for attracting Japanese tourism to rural regions was turned into a model for DMO success. The model consists of three categories of activities that DMOs should work with: Marketing, Cooperation and Development. The thesis takes on a qualitative approach and the empirical data gathered was based on semi-structured interviews undertaken with representatives from four DMOs that all had an outspoken focus on the Japanese market. The questions concerned these categories, and factors within them aimed at the Japanese market. The empirical data collected in these interviews was complemented with bed night statistics from Statistics Sweden, henceforth known as SCB, and previous studies and reports that were relevant to the research. The data show that the DMOs engaged in work that fitted into all three of the model’s categories. The DMOs worked with jointly marketing their destinations, ensuring cooperation between a range of actors and each other, and supporting the development of their destinations in a variety of ways. For the Japanese market, the DMOs promoted the attributes that, according to theory, are considered attractive by Japanese tourists, worked directly with Japanese actors at the destination and in Japan, maintained contacts with these actors, and aided in the development of the destination for the Japanese market by upgrading human resources for work towards the Japanese market.

  • The Racist Legacy in Modern Swedish Saami Policy1
    THE RACIST LEGACY IN MODERN SWEDISH SAAMI POLICY1 Roger Kvist Department of Saami Studies Umeå University S-901 87 Umeå Sweden Abstract/Resume The Swedish national state (1548-1846) did not treat the Saami any differently than the population at large. The Swedish nation state (1846- 1971) in practice created a system of institutionalized racism towards the nomadic Saami. Saami organizations managed to force the Swedish welfare state to adopt a policy of ethnic tolerance beginning in 1971. The earlier racist policy, however, left a strong anti-Saami rights legacy among the non-Saami population of the North. The increasing willingness of both the left and the right of Swedish political life to take advantage of this racist legacy, makes it unlikely that Saami self-determination will be realized within the foreseeable future. L'état suédois national (1548-1846) n'a pas traité les Saami d'une manière différente de la population générale. L'Etat de la nation suédoise (1846- 1971) a créé en pratique un système de racisme institutionnalisé vers les Saami nomades. Les organisations saamies ont réussi à obliger l'Etat- providence suédois à adopter une politique de tolérance ethnique à partir de 1971. Pourtant, la politique précédente de racisme a fait un legs fort des droits anti-saamis parmi la population non-saamie du nord. En con- séquence de l'empressement croissant de la gauche et de la droite de la vie politique suédoise de profiter de ce legs raciste, il est peu probable que l'autodétermination soit atteinte dans un avenir prévisible. 204 Roger Kvist Introduction In 1981 the Supreme Court of Sweden stated that the Saami right to reindeer herding, and adjacent rights to hunting and fishing, was a form of private property.

  • OECD Mining Regions and Cities Case Study: Västerbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden
    Policy Highlights OECD Mining Regions and Cities Case Study: Västerbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden @OECD_local 1 Introduction These policy highlights provide a summary of the OECD Mining Regions and Cities Case Study of Västerbotten and Norrbotten. Together both sub-regions form the larger region of Upper Norrland in Sweden. This study is part of an OECD project that has built a platform for knowledge sharing and co-operation on increasing productivity and enhancing the well- being of cities and regions with a specialisation in mining and extractive industries. Sweden's most northern region, Upper Norrland, is one of the most important mining regions in Europe. It is the largest producer of iron ore in Europe providing roughly 90% of the European Union's iron (EU) and also has the largest mineral reserves in the country, containing 9 of the country's 12 active mines. Amongst the two sub-regions, Västerbotten is more densely populated and has a more diversified economy, while Norrbotten is larger in terms of land surface and more specialised in mining, concentrating most of the active mines and production volumes in Sweden. Upper Norrland has the potential to become a global leader in environmentally conscious mining due to a range of competitive advantages. These include: 1) a pool of large mining companies that work closely with research centres and universities on reducing emissions and waste production across the mining value chain; 2) a highly skilled labour force, 3) a stable supply of green energy from hydropower and 4) high quality broadband coverage. Unlocking this potential will allow Sweden and the region to contribute to global climate agendas and the EU's self-sufficiency strategy of raw materials.
