The thesis examines the establishment size distribution over time and across groups of regions, using data on Swedish establishments during period 1994-2009. The size distribution of establishments is highly skewed and approximates the Pareto distribution. The shape of size distribution is invariant over time and across groups of regions. The distribution of total number of establishments and incumbent distribution are found to rise from the same distribution. Moreover, the invariance of establishment size distribution is highly determined by the invariance of distribution of incumbents, entry and exit distributions. Larger establishments have more chances to survive and higher probability to remain in current size group comparing to smaller ones, whereas higher probabilities of growth would be attached to smaller establishments.

This thesis deals with questions concerning the sedentary settlement in central Norrland: its origins, function and development. This type of settlement appears at the start of our calendar. The material comprises an almost fully excavated farmstead from the Early Iron Age (1-600 A.D.), situated on Genesmon in the parish of Själevad, northern Ångermanland. Particular stress has been put on the description of the individual structures and on questions concerning the construction and room-division of the houses. The farm's resource utilization, handicrafts and development are also analysed and discussed.The basic material for the thesis has been obtained through archaeological excavations. To a limited degree a comparative method has been used with regard to the form and content of the farm settlement. In addition data has been extracted from the presence, distribution and species of carbonized seeds, which were collected from post-holes, hearths and other features in and around the nine house foundations found hitherto.Contrary to the views of previous research, the results show that even northern Ångermanland obtained sedentary settlement at about the same time as Hälsingland and Medelpad. With regard to the origin of this settlement a critical examination is made of previous research, which has largely been in agreement that it was a result of colonization from the Mälar Valley. Some circumstances are presented which can be interpreted rather as internal development under influence. The settlement on the excavated site at Gene consists of a farmstead, with a three-aisled long-house and smaller three-aisled houses nearby with special functions. The number of small houses increases with time. Only a few remnants of dividing walls have been encountered. Room analyses show that the long-house was probably divided into six rooms or sections, each with its own function. The general layout and this room-division corresponds well with other contemporary houses in, for example, S.W. Norway and on Jutland. There are however tendencies towards regional differences. During the Migration Period both iron-forging and bronze-casting have taken place on the farm. These handicrafts were probably not carried out by professional smiths. The remains of bronze working show that relief brooches, keys, rings and pins were cast. A preliminary going-through of the literature also shows that bronze-casting was considerably more common on the Migration Period farms in Norden than one generally assumed. The farm on Genesmon is suggested to have been relocated during the 6th or 7th century A.D. Since a similar restructuring or movement of settlement can be noted over large parts of Norden during this period, the explanations for the relocation of the Gene farm must be sought in changes in a long-established inter-regional structure. / digitalisering@umu

Este trabalho está apoiado na hipótese que considera os polos urbanos e eixos rodoviários elementos estruturantes da organização territorial do estado de São Paulo e que, orientados pela lógica da atividade industrial, constituem uma região qualificada para o desenvolvimento. A análise sobre a relação entre as ações planejadoras e a urbanização paulista comprova que as regionalizações administrativas e a provisão infraestrutural (principalmente rodoviária) gradativamente integraram-se no espaço influenciando a organização do território. Através dessas ações, entre os anos 1930 e 1960, as principais cidades constituíram-se em polos urbanos e as principais rodovias, em eixos rodoviários caracterizando o processo de urbanização na escala urbana e regional. A associação entre os polos e os eixos equipou uma região historicamente mais dinâmica, aqui denominada Região dos Vetores Produtivos, através da permanência das ações planejadoras que a transformaram em um território da rede urbana paulista qualificado às decisões locacionais produtivas. / The hypothesis that guides this work considers urban poles and road axes structural elements of the territorial organization of the state of São Paulo who, guided by the logic of industrial activity, built a qualified region for development. The analysis of the relationship between urban and regional planning and urbanization in São Paulo shows that the administrative regionalization and infrastructural provision (mainly road) gradually integrated in the space and acting in the organization of the territory. Through these actions, between 1930s and 1960s, major cities were set up in urban poles and major highways, in road axes featuring in the process of urbanization in urban and regional scales. The association between the poles and the axes equipped a historically most dynamic region, called Region of Productive Vectors, through the permanence of planners actions that qualified a territory in state urban network to productive locational decisions.
