  • Chapter 2. Block 1. Multi-Level Governance: Institutional and Financial Settings
    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.

  • BILAGA TILL HANDLINGSPLANEN I Miljöprogrammets Handlingsplan Hittar Du Kortfattad Information Om Varje Åtgärd
    BILAGA TILL HANDLINGSPLANEN I miljöprogrammets handlingsplan hittar du kortfattad information om varje åtgärd. I denna bilaga finns mer detaljerad information om respektive åtgärd. I bilagan beskriver vi också åtgärdens kostnad och effekt samt ger förslag på samarbetspartners. Informationen i bilagan är tänkt att vara en hjälp och utgångspunkt för genomförandet av åtgärden. I de flesta fall har åtgärderna ursprungligen föreslagits och beskrivits av deltagare i arbetsgrupper under framtagandet av miljöprogrammet. Dessutom har det kommit in synpunkter under remissen som har påverkat åtgärdernas utformning. Vi har utgått från arbetsgruppernas och remissinstansernas synpunkter, men informationen har i många fall varit knapphändig och därför är det ofta vi i projektgruppen som, i dialog med åtgärdsansvariga, har formulerat den slutliga åtgärdsbeskrivningen och effekten samt pekat ut vilka miljömål som är berörda. Alla inkomna synpunkter har inte påverkat åtgärdsbeskrivningarna, men kan ändå vara bra information att ta hänsyn till vid genomförandet av åtgärden. Dessa synpunkter finns samlade i samrådsredogörelsen. I bilagan till handlingsplanen ger vi också förslag på samarbetspartners. Dessa förslag grundar sig i den ursprungliga åtgärdsbeskrivningen och i vad som kommit fram i remissvaren. Det kan hända att fler samarbetspartners blir aktuella när åtgärden väl ska genomföras. Vad det innebär att vara samarbetspartner är olika från fall till fall. Det kan till exempel handla om att arbeta tätt ihop i en arbetsgrupp eller att finnas tillgänglig som kunskapskälla. Det kan också handla om att vara ansvarig för en del av åtgärden. Det kan inte heller uteslutas att det är förenligt med en kostnad att vara samarbetspartner. Av praktiska skäl har vi inte alltid stämt av med de föreslagna samarbetsparterna.

  • Rörelser Vid Götaälvbron
    Trafikkontoret ERFARENHETSRAPPORT PROJEKTSAMARBETE OCH TEKNIK VID ARBETEN I ANSLUTNING TILL GÖTAÄLVBRON 21-03-19 www.goteborg.se Förord Denna erfarenhetsrapport har tagits fram för att sprida information och erfarenheter från projektsamarbete, samt delge kunskap/erfarenhet inom mätteknik, geoteknik, grundläggning och broteknik som framkommit vid arbetena i närheten av den för staden så viktiga Götaälvbron. Götaälvbron från 1939, har rörlig klaff, och därför små marginaler beträffande rörelser, och risk föreligger för fastkilning som kan äventyra brons funktion. Göteborgs stads Trafikkontor har därför, tillsammans med Trafikverket och Vasakronan, lagt ner arbete för mät-, bro- och geospecialister i samband med de omfattande pålningsarbeten som utförts. Hur mycket får bron röra sig? Vad händer vid rörelserna? Klarar klaffen varma sommardagar efter att brostöden rört sig. Tankegångarna kring detta beskrivs i denna rapport. Vidare redogörs för det samarbete som har bedrivits mellan de tre beställarparterna. Utan projektsamarbetet hade pålningsarbeten aldrig varit möjligt att bedrivas i den takt och i den omfattning som gjordes, med hänsyn till brons säkerhet. Förhoppningen är att rapporten ska skapa nytta och ge inspiration till kommande projektsamarbeten.

RiverCity lies in the heart of the Region of Gothenburg on the northern riverbank opposite the city center, and is surrounded by large housing estates, old industrial areas and new commercial cores. As well as it is connected with interstate highways with the Region and the metropolitan areas of Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo, as much it is still dissociated from its urban surroundings. The highway infrastructure forms strong barriers and a network of urban infrastructure which links it with its neighboring areas and the subregion is lacking. Connecting RiverCity is therefore its first challenge.
