Detta innebar att flyttbara väggelement möjliggjorde förändring av bostädernas planlösningar. Denna inbyggda möjlighet till förändring skapar idag ett dilemma för kulturvårdens bevarandepraktiker som traditionellt sätt ägnat sig åt att bevara ett originalskick. Studiens syfte är därav att undersöka vilka tankar som låg till grund för uppförandet av 1960–70-talets anpassbara bostäder. Och arbetet ämnar besvara frågeställningen om dagens bevarandepraktiker står i motsättning till 1960–70- talens arkitekturteorier? Metoderna som tillämpas för att ta reda på detta är litteraturstudier, intervjuer samt en fallstudie av bostadsområdet Västra Orminge i Nacka. Resultaten visar att tongivande tankar vid uppförandet var rationalisering, funktionalitet och boendeinflytande. Anpassbarheten visade sig utnyttjas främst vid förändring i familjekonstellationer, och funktionen att montera ner väggelement finns kvar och brukas i viss utsträckning än idag. Utifrån tankarna bakom uppförandet diskuteras hur ett bevarande av de anpassbara bostäderna bör utföras. För att utröna detta analyseras hur Dean Sullys förklaringsmodell gällande materialfokuserat, värdefokuserat respektive människofokuserat förhållningssätt står i relation till bevarande av anpassbara bostäder. Slutsatser som dras är att ett traditionellt materialfokuserat förhållningssätt till bevarande inte är kompatibelt med 1960–70-talets anpassbara bostäder. Ett förslag som grundas i det undersökta materialet är att ett ”funktionalistiskt förhållningssätt” skulle vara ett alternativ för denna typ av bostäder. / As a part of the Swedish Million Programme during the 1960-70s some residential areas were constructed with movable inner walls using a construction system called Skarne 66. In other words, they built flexible housing. The built-in function of change brings a dilemma to the conservation/cultural heritage field who ́s priorities for a long time has been to conserve objects in their original state. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine which thoughts laid the foundation to the 1960-70s flexible housing. The study aims to answer the question if today’s conservation practices stand in opposition to the 1960-70s architectural theories. The methods used to answer this question is literature study, interviews and a case study of the residential area called Västra Orminge in Nacka. The results show that influential theories during the time period was rationalization, functionality and residential influence. The flexibility was shown to mainly be used when family constellations changed. The function to dismantle the movable walls is still functional and used to some extent to this day. Then there is a discussion about how flexible housing should be conserved, with the influential theories from the 1960-70s as a backdrop. To find out how it should be done Dean Sully ́s explanatory model about materials-based, values-based, and peoples-based approach to conservation stands in relation to conservation of flexible housing. Conclusions drawn from this is that the more traditional approach to conservation, material-based, is not compatible with the flexible housing of the 1960-70s. A suggestion based on the examined literature is that a “functionalistic approach” could be an option when dealing with flexible housing.

62	Enabling socio-technical transitions – electric vehicles and high voltage electricity grids as focal points of low emission futures Albrecht, Martin January 2017 (has links) Today humankind is facing numerous sustainability challenges that require us to question CO2 intensive practices like those present in the transport and energy sector. To meet those challenges, many countries have adopted ambitious climate targets. Achieving such targets requires an understanding of the wider socio-technical context of transitions. The aim of this licentiate thesis is therefore to analyse such socio-technical transitions towards low-emission futures enabled by the electrification of passenger cars and high voltage grid development. A combination of different transitions theories (for ex. Multi-level perspective and Technological innovation systems) and institutional theory has been used. To reach the aim paper I analyses the climate impacts of electric vehicles (EVs) and policy measures to achieve a breakthrough scenario for EVs. The results show that a mixture of short and long term policies are needed that take into account the technology development stage and behavioural aspects of EV adopters. Paper II addresses the need to include the high voltage transmission grid and its planning procedures as a central part of debates on transitions. Therefore the opportunities, challenges and reasons for conflict in the established regime are studied. The results show that in order to achieve a sustainable grid development regime, it is necessary to spend time on achieving legitimacy and social sustainability. The third paper uses semi-structured expert interviews and focuses on innovation dynamics for EV adoption. By focusing on dynamics instead of single policy measures, it is possible to grasp interactions within a niche, but also in between a niche, regime and landscape. The results show that strong initial technology legitimacy was needed to start substantial innovation dynamics. This could be further strengthened with a strong and broad coalition of actors. Both those factors led, if present, to an improved variety and match of policy instruments. As such this thesis has shown that transitions are not just about technology or policy instruments as such but about the dynamics and processes needed to enable them. This can be relevant in other transitions that otherwise may underestimate the importance of these components. / <p>QC 20170512</p> / Norstrat Socio-technical system innovation system transition MLP TIS low emission future electric vehicles high voltage transmission grid Sweden Norway Denmark Finland United Kingdom Social Sciences Interdisciplinary History of Technology Teknikhistoria Energy Systems Energisystem Transport Systems and Logistics Transportteknik och logistik Infrastructure Engineering Infrastrukturteknik Economic History Ekonomisk historia

Second, I scrutinize the reasons to choose Northern Sweden as the location for the rocket base. As it turns out, the main reasons were the favourable location of Northern Sweden within the aurora oval zone, the proximity of the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, and the possibility to use a large, although not quite uninhabited, area where the launched rockets could crash. Finally, I examine the difficulty of talking about boundaries of various kinds, such as temporal, spatial and functional.

65	From Vision to Transition : Exploring the Potential for Public Information Services to Facilitate Sustainable Urban Transport Cano-Viktorsson, Carlos January 2014 (has links) Background: Policy initiatives to promote sustainable travel through the use of Internet based public information systems have increased during the last decade. Stockholm, in being one of the first cities in Europe to implement an Internet based service for facilitating sustainable travel is believed to be a good candidate for an analysis of key issues for developing sustainable travel planning services to the public. Aim: This thesis investigates the past development of two Stockholm based public information systems and their services in order to draw lessons on how to better provide for a public information service geared towards facilitating environmentally sustainable travel planning through information and communications technology. The overall goal of the thesis is to contribute to an understanding on how to better design and manage current and future attempts at facilitating sustainable travel planning services based on historical case studies. Approach: The thesis draws ideas from the concept of organizational responsiveness – an organization’s ability to listen, understand and respond to demands put to it by its internal and external stakeholders – in order to depict how well or not the two public information systems and their owners have adapted to established norms and values of their surroundings. Results: Overall, the findings from the historical case studies suggest that organizations attempting to provide sustainable travel planning to the public need to design and manage their systems in such a way that it responds to shifting demands on how to provide for information. Implementing and embedding new technologies involves complex processes of change both at the micro level – for users and practitioners of the service – and at the meso level for the involved public service organizations themselves. This condition requires a contextualist framework to analyze and understand organizational, contextual and cultural issues involved in the adoption of new technologies and procedures. Conclusions: The thesis concludes with a discussion on how the findings from the historical case studies may provide lessons for both current and future attempts at providing public information systems geared towards facilitating environmentally sustainable travel planning to the public. Historical examples and issues concerning collective intelligence and peer to peer based forms of designing, producing and supervising public information services identified throughout the study are looked upon and discussed in terms of their possible role in increasing the potential for public information services to facilitate sustainable urban transport. / <p>QC 20140319</p> / TRACS, Travel Planner for Sustainable Cities History of Technology Teknikhistoria Communication Studies Kommunikationsvetenskap Human Aspects of ICT Mänsklig interaktion med IKT Information Systems, Social aspects Media Studies Medievetenskap Social Anthropology Socialantropologi
