Abstract Kultursektorn omsatte endast cirka fem procent av Sveriges totala turistnäring år 2006. Det tyder på en smal skara besökare samt att det finns en stor konkurrens mot andra sektorer inom turistnäringen. Samtidigt är denna siffra något missvisande vad gäller besökarantal då många kulturarv är gratis att besöka. Utefter detta har jag utgått efter en induktiv arbetsmetod där jag har valt att studera ett specifikt ting, i detta fall Hasse & Tage-museet, för att därefter komma fram till en slutsats som kanske även kan gälla i allmänhet för andra kulturarv. Jag har kommit fram till mina slutsatser genom intervjuer och kvalitativa enkäter för att därefter bearbeta det insamlade materialet tillsammans med de bakgrundsfakta jag har använt mig av. Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka om Hasse & Tage-museet med verksamhet kan betraktas som ett kulturarv och (i så fall) hur kan museet arbeta för att leva vidare och föra kulturarvet vidare till framtida generationer. Uppsatsen syftar även till att något belysa museets lokalisering till Tomelilla och dess roll för turismen i Tomelilla. Resultatet visade att Hasse & Tage-museet definitivt är ett kulturarv då deras verk har påverkat generationer av svenskar och är betydelsefullt för så många än idag. Museet måste arbeta aktivt för att få kulturarvet att leva vidare till nästa generation. Genom att endast vakta ett arkiv kommer arvet att dö ut förr eller senare vilket representanterna för museet inte är intresserade av. De arbetar mot att få en levande miljö kring museet, som ska vara själva hjärtat i verksamheten. Genom att anordna olika arrangemang hoppas de kunna nå ut till en bredare publik vilket hjälper till att utveckla verksamheten och föra Hasse och Tages verk vidare i framtiden.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to examine how residential segregation can emerge in a Swedish medium-large municipality by describing the residential segregation in three different districts in central Linköping. The study aims to describe differences between the districts regarding demographic, socioeconomic and ethnic characteristics. The study also aims to describe the municipality’s strategies to prevent and decrease residential segregation in the future by examining planning documents.  The study shows that there are differences in the population between the three districts. The results show that there is an ongoing residential segregation, and the municipality works to prevent and decrease by using different strategies.  This study describes the current residential segregation between different districts by collecting and analyzing statistics between the chosen districts and the municipality average. The study also describes and summarize the strategies that Linköping municipality works with to prevent and decrease residential segregation, this information has been identified by reading documents regarding the municipality’s spatial planning and other documents regarding segregation. Keywords: boendesegregation, social hållbarhet, Linköping kommun, Hjulsbro, Innerstaden, Skäggetorp

In this paper, the phenomenon of population decline has been looked at. The focus has been on population decline and how it is handled in rural municipalities in Sweden. Population decline is something that most often is a problem in rural areas all around the world. Even the EU has expressed worry regarding how the demographic trends are changing in rural areas in Europe. In order to look at the handling of population decline in rural municipalities; comprehensive plan documents were used since that type of document is produced by every municipality in Sweden. Even though the same type of document is used it was found that the municipalities focus on different things and strategies for handling the decline in population and that policies on national level plays a big role for how the municipalities plan. There might be a need to change the focus from growth in order to handle the consequences that comes from population decline.

Abstract  Sweden is an import and export dependent country and the main means of transportation of freight is by road transportation. Road transportation includes light to heavy trucks and are used for all types of purposes, for example from warehouse to market or from storage to building site.  The aim of this study is to describe how freight generation is calculated and predicted. Additionally, it aims towards analyzing the connection between economic growth and freight transport. Further the study seeks to describe the development of freight transport in Sweden. Lastly the study seeks to see how much freight a new investment in infrastructure in the shape of a grocery store would generate in Umeå. This is accomplished by utilizing a tool developed by Trafikverket, analysis of governmental documents and empirical evidence. Previous research has been used to understand the importance of road planning and the effect it has on urban environments and further deepening the knowledge of freight traffics impact on not only economy. Freight generation is calculated by using different types of models developed by Trafikverket. These tools are called EVA, Sampers, Samkalk, Samgods and the Traffic generation tool. The traffic generation tool is the only tool of the five which sole purpose is to forecast traffic generation. However, the tool poorly estimates the amount of freight generated by a new investment. The results show that economic growth and freight transport have a strong connection with each other. A new grocery store in Umeå would generate 42 new commercial traffic vehicles which includes freight.  The conclusion is that the availability of analyze freight generation of new investment in infrastructure without Trafikverket is almost impossible. This is an issue because of the various consequences that freight transport entails, such as lowered air quality, worsened traffic safety, congestion in urban areas. To be able to safely gauge the amount of freight a project will generate is therefore an important step in sustainable development.                        Key words: Freight generation, Freight transport, economic growth, urban and road planning
