The purpose of this study was to deepen the knowledge about sports association's prerequisites regarding their inclusion work for people with disabilities. This study was constructed using a qualitative research method in which seven people were interviewed. The questions asked were: what attitude the association had to an inclusion work for people with disabilities, what’s done in the practice, what the implementation of guidelines and governing documents look like, and lastly what factors are necessary according to the association in order to succeed with their inclusivity work. The results showed that those who mentioned difficulties and challenges instead of opportunities were those who didn't have the required prerequisites. The sports associations considered that the attitude to inclusion work was an important factor and that the association must be able to imagine performing such inclusivity work for it to even appear on their radar. The sports association's attitudes reflected how they are working and thinking about the subject and the ones who weren’t norm-conscious risked constituting an obstacle for sports that include all individuals. Furthermore,this study indicates that sports association's own intentions and interests are crucial for their ability to develop their activities to be inclusive for persons with disabilities.

A infraestrutura de transportes teve papel fundamental no crescimento urbano de São Paulo, determinando sua ocupação urbana e seus eixos de expansão. O presente trabalho parte de um embasamento histórico que aborda o início do desenvolvimento urbano de São Paulo, com a implantação de ferrovias e bondes em meados do século 19 e início do século 20, e a estruturação e intenso crescimento urbano da cidade com a ascensão do ônibus e do automóvel, principalmente a partir dos anos 1950 e 1960. Esta disputa entre modais é um dos fatores que colaborou para a atual crise de mobilidade na cidade, e é também tema recorrente nas iniciativas do planejamento urbano e de transportes realizadas a partir dos anos 2000, como os planos PITU 2020 e PITU 2025. A análise destes planos tem como objetivo resgatar a importância do sistema sobre trilhos para o desenvolvimento conjunto da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, e analisar a articulação entre as políticas públicas de uso e ocupação do solo e o planejamento de transporte. / Transport infrastructure played a key role in the urban growth of São Paulo, determining its urban occupation and its expansion axes. This work starts with a historical foundation that approaches the early history of urban development of São Paulo, with the introduction of railroads and trams in the mid-19th century and early 20th century, and the structuring and intense urban growth of the city with the rise of the automobile and bus transportation mainly from the 1950s and 1960s. This dispute between transportation modes is one of the factors that contributed to the current mobility crisis in the city, and is also a recurring theme in the initiatives of the urban and transportation planning performed from the years 2000 as in the PITU 2020 and PITU 2025 plans. The analysis of these plans aims to restore the importance of the rail system for the joint development of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, and analyze the relation between land use public policy and transport planning.

One such change in the area of digitalisation is what is known as Vision e-health 2025, which is a vision that the Swedish government, municipalities and counties founded with the goal of being the best in the world in terms of e-health by 2025, thus keeping up with the continuous development and expectations of the society. The purpose of this study is to investigate how three different professions at health centres in Region Jonkoping work with the implementation of Vision e-health 2025 in terms of the implementation-theory defined understand, want and how -steps. The study is a comparative study with three in-depth interviews consisting of an operations manager, a development manager and a doctor. The overall conclusion of the study indicates that even if the various professions have some knowledge of Vision e-health 2025, and they in their daily work have the resources to be able to work with the vision and digitalisation, they lack deeper knowledge of Vision e-health 2025. As such, in order to fulfil the vision’s goals, they need more information and education on how they, in their professions, should work with Vision e-health 2025. One reasonable starting point could be to deepen their knowledge of the vision itself, as having a strong willingness and incentive to work with digitisation at their health centres is an inadequate foundation to actually implement the said vision and goals therein.

Ce travail de recherche doctorale interroge les enjeux et les stratégies culturelles, économiques, politiques, et sociales liées au patrimoine pour la ville d'Ispahan. Il est centré sur la mise en place des grands plans iraniens et des initiatives récentes en faveur du secteur du patrimoine culturel et du tourisme, notamment après la révolution islamique d'Iran en 1979. A une époque où la croissance incontrôlée urbaine a engendré une détérioration progressive du tissu historique des villes iraniennes et la perte de leur identité urbaine, Ispahan, la capitale islamique brillante et safavide, prend une importance particulière après révolution islamique dans le pays. Dans une première étape, par une approche théorique et historique de la notion de patrimoine, nous mettons en évidence les spécificités du concept dans le monde islamique et iranien, et nous évoquons des visions différentes (occidentales-orientales). Egalement, nous abordons les défis principaux face au patrimoine iranien et d'Ispahan. Par la suite, nous analysons les grandes stratégies et des initiatives récentes en faveur du secteur du patrimoine culturel et du tourisme d'Ispahan, après la révolution islamique et notamment par le plan Outlook iranien. Il s'agit de quatre programmes quinquennaux planifiés pour la perspective de développement du pays à l'horizon 2005-2025, en tant que puissance régionale. Enfin, nous abordons les projets de mise en valeur, achevés, ou en cours de réalisation dans la ville d'Ispahan, tous en faveur de son secteur du patrimoine culturel et du tourisme. Nous discutons également des projets impactant (négativement) les biens historiques et inscrits au patrimoine mondial. Les sources utilisées (documents d'archives et originaux), sont des dispositifs de protection des patrimoines d'Ispahan, en particulier de la RROI (Organisation de Rénovation et de Restauration d'Ispahan) et de l'ICHHTO d'Ispahan (Organisation de Patrimoine Culturel, d'Artisanat et du tourisme), ainsi que des entretiens, des enquêtes, des conférences, des ouvrages, et des photos personnelles (récoltées lors de notre étude de terrain à Ispahan, du 1er Juin 2012 au 1er septembre 2012). Afin de bien éclairer les concepts et les plans abordés dans cette recherche, nous confrontons ces cas spécifiques iraniens à d'autres exemples par une étude comparative, dans toutes les parties de la thèse. / This doctoral research is an interrogation of the cultural, economic, political, and social issues and strategies relating to heritage for the city of Isfahan. It focuses on the implementation of major Iranian plans and recent initiatives in favor of the cultural heritage and tourism sector, particularly since the Islamic revolution of 1979. At a time when uncontrolled urban growth has led to the progressive deterioration of the historical texture of Iranian cities and the loss of their urban identity, the importance of Isfahan, the renowned Islamic capital of Safavid, has increased. This phenomenon has been notable since the Islamic revolution in the country. The first step will be a theoretical and historical approach to the notion of heritage and the specificity of these concepts in the Islamic world and particularly Iran. This initial focus will then be broadened to include a discussion of different views (occidental - oriental). Furthermore, the major challenges facing the Iranian and Isfahan heritage will also be reviewed. Subsequently, there will be an analysis of the major strategies and recent initiatives implemented in favor of the cultural heritage and tourism sector of Isfahan, since the Islamic revolution in Iran and notably due to the Iranian Outlook plan. This refers to a plan for four five-year programs concerning the development perspectives for the country for the period 2005-2025, which aim to reinforce the country's position as a regional power. A final point will discuss current, future and completed architectural projects in the city of Isfahan, in favor of its cultural heritage and tourism sector as well as the projects affecting (negatively) the world-renowned historical significance of this city. The sources used for this study (original and archival documents) are from the heritage protection institutions of Isfahan, in particular, the RROI organization (Renovation and Restoration Organization of Isfahan) and ICHHTO of Isfahan (Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization), also the interviews, surveys, conferences, books, and personal photographs (collected during a field study in Isfahan, from 1st of June 2012 to 1st of September 2012). In order to adequately illustrate the concepts and the plans discussed in this thesis, and where relevant, specific Iranian cases will be systematically confronted with alternative examples through a comparative approach.

Högskolan i Halmstad har med diverse aktörer utvecklat projektet Campusplanen 2025 med målsättning att bland annat utveckla det framtida campusområdet vid Halmstad Högskola till en blandstad bestående av studenter och allmänheten. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och öka förståelsen för hur studenter vid Högskolan i Halmstad upplever att den nutida och framtida sociala infrastrukturen kan påverka inkluderingen och exkluderingen av olika studentgrupper samt deras möjlighet till social sammanhållning. För att kunna besvara vårt syfte och frågeställning har vi använt oss av en hermeneutisk vetenskapsteori med kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med olika studentgrupper. I analysen av vårt empiriska material använde vi Don Mitchells (2003) teori om det offentliga rummet, Jan Inge Jönhills (2012) begreppspar inkludering och exkludering, Pierre Bourdieus (1986) teori om kapital och Robert Putnams (2000) teori om socialt kapital. Studiens resultat visar att studenterna är i behov av en egen identitet och kapital för att öka den sociala sammanhållningen / The University of Halmstad has, with help from co-organizers, developed the project Campusplanen 2025. One of the objectives of the project is developing the future campus towards a mix of student and public life. The aim of this thesis is to examine and understand if students at the University of Halmstad experience that present and future social infrastructure could affect the inclusion and exclusion of different student groups and their social cohesion. To answer these questions, we used the hermeneutic methodology with qualitative semistructured interviews with different student groups. For the analysis of our empirical data, we used Don Mitchells (2003) theory about the public space, Jan Inge Jönhills (2012) concepts of inclusion and exclusion, Pierre Bourdieus (1986) theory on capital and Roberts Putnams (2000) theory on social capital. The results of this thesis show that the students are in need of their own identity and capital to increase the social cohesion.

This research goes beyond the traditionally studied intricacies and contentions within northern Tanzania’s community-based conservation by looking at how the state’s engagement, through wildlife tourism, with local communities in and around protected areas impacts the country’s development and conservation of its wildlife. It draws heavily on Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 and how the wildlife tourism industry feeds into achieving its objectives. This research looks through the theoretical lens of political ecology, the theory of access, and the powers of exclusion. It applies a qualitative content analysis by coding different types of existing literature in NVivo, and includes semi-structured interviews with key respondents. The research concludes that the government’s recentralization of wildlife management is working opposite to its development ambitions as per Vision 2025, and it is doing very little to address the crisis within its ecosystems and to enhance wildlife conservation. Ultimately, it is through the government’s efforts to protect Tanzania’s ecological uniqueness that both conservation and development have faced increased challenges in its efforts to improve.
