October 2006 Lindis Sloan Project Co-ordinator 7 Concluding remarks from the project work group and international steering committee Arctic, natural resource-based industries involve the use of scarce natural resources of high economic and strategic importance. Traditionally, women’s roles have tended to be analysed in terms of family or local society. We hereby argue that women’s participation in resource-based industries should be analysed in their regional, national and geopolitical contexts, taking into account the security dimension. Finally we want to suggest that the Sutainable Development Working Group (SDWG) of the Arctic Council should request that all its future projects be required to integrate and demon- strate gender-based analysis in its project proposals and that each partner demonstrate how this will be accomplished. SELECTED RECOMMENDATIONS: • Decision-makers, administrators and companies engaged in natural resource- based industries in the North should take note of their own stated aims to achieve gender equality, and increase their efforts to achieve gender equality in their activities. • This includes evaluating stated policies and legal measurements, taking into account how recruitment practices, company cultures, local culture and educational strategies combine to affect these efforts. •Gender-disaggregated and comparable statistics should be compiled, reflecting employment, decision-making and effects on local communities. These statistics should be comprehensive and reflect development over time. Such a statistics base will also serve to emphasise the contributions Arctic residents, women and men, are making to the economy. 9 A human security perspective – by Gunhild Hoogensen Gender, Natural Resources and the North investigations have been far more explicit in – The traditional language of security has exposing the power relations between the been actively employed in the North for marginalized and the dominant.

  • Verneplan Iv, Fuglefaunaen I Vassdrag I Nordland
    A NVE NORGES VASSDRAGS- OG ENERGIVERK Jon Bekken VERNEPLAN IV, FUGLEFAUNAEN I VASSDRAG I NORDLAND , VERNEPLAN IV V 35 Verneplan IV for vassdrag Ved Stortingets behandling av Verneplan III (St.prp. nr 89 (1984-85)) ble det vedtatt at arbeidet skulle videre- føres i en Verneplan IV. Som for tidligere verneplaner skulle Olje- og energidepartementet (Oed) ha ansvaret for å samordne, utarbeide og legge fram planen for regjering og storting, men i nært samarbeid med Miljøverndeparte- mentet. Det ble reoppnevnt et kontaktutvalg for vassdragsreguler- inger med vassdragsdirektøren som formann. NVE fikk i oppdrag å skaffe fram nødvendig grunnlagsmateriale og opprettet i den forbindelse en prosjektgruppe som har forberedt materialet for utvalget. Prosjektgruppen har bestått av forskningssjef Per Einar Faugli, NVE, antikvar Lil Gustafson, Riksantikvaren, vassdragsforvalter Arne Hamarsland, fylkesmannen i Nord- land, kontorsjef Terje Klokk, DN (avløst 01.01.90 av førstekonsulent Lars Løfaldli, DN), overingeniør Jens Aabel, NVE og med seksjonssjef Jon Arne Eie, NVE som formann og avdelingsingeniør Jon Olav Nybo som sekretær. Vurdering og dokumentasjon av verneverdiene har, som for de andre verneplanene, vært knyttet til følgende fagom- råder; geofaglige forhold, botanikk, ferskvannsbiologi, ornitologi, friluftsliv, kulturminner og landbruksinter- esser. I mange av vassdragene har det vær nødvendig å engasjere forskningsinstitusjoner eller privatpersoner for å foreta undersøkelser og vurdering av verneverdier.

  • Networks and Alliances
    THE CONTEMPORARY ART DAYS SUMMIT 2018 NETWORKS AND ALLIANCES samtidskonstdagarna.se/en 14–16 November 2018 Boden/Luleå 13 November Pre-summit visit to Kiruna The Contemporary Art Days is the annual contemporary art summit that brings together art professionals from across Sweden and other countries to discuss current issues for art organisations. In 2018, for the first time, the summit is organised under the aegis of the Public Art Agency Sweden. This year’s summit will focus on building networks and alliances as strate- gies for action in contemporary art organisations today. The last few years have witnessed a large increase in organisational networks across the art field in Sweden. Whether formal or informal, on a local or national scale, with Nordic or international counterparts, alliances are formed in a variety of constellations between art institutions, self-organised initiatives and other organisations. Are these networks signs of the signature strategy of the neoliberal working world? Or are they responses of mutual support and solidarity by small and mid-size art organisations in the changing political landscape and precarious economic conditions? Or are today’s networks merely new forms of age old tools for building assemblies around mutual concerns? The Contemporary Art Days 2018 presents a diverse programme comprising guest speakers, performances, site visits and workshops that will examine a variety of ways of working with networks and building strategic alliances. The summit is held in the region of Norrbotten in the north of Sweden. A preview of the 2018 Luleå Biennial is included in the programme, as well as a pre-summit site visit to Kiruna, a mining town that is being relocated and rebuilt.

Agricultural villages had been established on the fertile lands along the coast and in the lower portion of the river valley as early as the 13th centurv. A market centre developed on the islands in the Lulea district in the 14th centurv. When the swedish­ Finnish kingdom, supported by the Archbishop of uppsala, expanded into this region as an act of deliberate colonization, to counteract Russian pressure, the present stone church of Gammelstad was built at the turn of the 1Llth centurv.

  • The Norwegian Millstone Landscape Millstones Are Among the Most Widespread and Abundant Artifacts from the Past
    The Norwegian Millstone Landscape Millstones are among the most widespread and abundant artifacts from the past. They can be seen at farms, in gardens, in dry-stone walls and along streams long after the mill itself has disappeared. We intuitively know that there are many stories behind these well-crafted objects that have been so central in mankind’s history; however, most of these stories are lost. Particularly this applies to the ‘life’ of the millstone before it was put to use: the history of extensive quarry landscapes, craftsmanship, quality measures, millstone trade – aspects that collectively form a rich cultural landscape. This project seeks to shed new light on the physical and historical aspects of these multi- faceted landscapes through comprehensive surveys and interdisciplinary research. 1. Relevance to the call The Norwegian Millstone Landscape focuses on the historical narrative of quarrying, processing and trade of specific stone resources crucial to the production of the most fundamental food, flour. The shaping of extensive cultural landscapes by millstone quarrying provides a rich historical re- cord of the social, economic and political processes that surrounded food production for over 1500 years. Moreover, the consumption of millstones at local, regional and international scales represents conduits in the evolution of trade and social networks that grew around the millstone quarrying in- dustry, and that define an ‘extended millstone landscape’. Today, the socio-cultural and economic values of these millstone landscapes are at best greatly underestimated or, at worst, completely un- known. Undertaken by an interdisciplinary research team comprising the disciplines of geology, archaeology, history and landscape geography, this project addresses the proposal call by develop- ing methods for characterisation and reconstruction of the Norwegian millstone landscapes as a narrative that links the past with the present in a common heritage.

On its peninsula in the north-west cor- ner of Europe, and with its northern boundary abutting on the Polar world, it forms a backwater to the main stream of Continental communications. The southern boundary of Sweden lies in the same latitude as the boundary between Scotland and England, and as Labrador and British Columbia in America; while its northern boundary lies in the same latitude as the northern half of Greenland and the Arctic archipelago of America.
