Learning Benefits of Using 2D Versus 3D Maps: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Experiment
- 2013

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The traditional important role of maps used for educational purposes has gained further potential with recent advances in GIS technology. But beyond specific courses in cartography this potential seems little realized in geography teaching. This article investigates the extent to which any learning benefits may be derived from the use of such technologies. A controlled experiment was conducted to examine whether information recall is improved when cartographic information on population distribution is presented in 2D versus 3D form. The results show statistically significant differences in learning benefits between the two formats, largely in favor of 2D representation. These findings suggest that learning benefits can be derived from paying greater attention to map format in educational settings.

Territorial Knowledge Dynamics and Knowledge Anchoring through Localized Networks : The Automotive Sector in Vastra Gotaland

- Regional Studies. Innovative firms often engage in knowledge interactions across regional boundaries, which is difficult to account for by territorial innovation models. The territorial knowledge dynamics perspective directs attention to the ways in which firms and other actors combine regional and extra-regional relations. It deals with the spatial aspects of innovation, emphasizing constantly evolving knowledge networks that are not confined to regional boundaries, which implies a new view on regional knowledge anchoring. The paper presents a case of innovation in the automotive sector in the Vastra Gotaland region of Sweden to show how a spatial pattern of knowledge interactions develops over time.

Sub-contractors, supplier parks and supply chain management: The case of Volvo's Arendal supplier park

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this chapter we discuss the role of small free-standing subcontractors in such a production system, in terms of production and the creation of a new supplier park, using the case of the Goteborg final assembly plant of the Volvo Car Corporation and its domestic suppliers. The impact of putting pressure on first tier suppliers to locate close to the final assembly plant is first discussed in theoretical terms of forces of concentration and dispersion operating on different tiers of the production hierarchy. From this, five main issues concerning supply chains, subcontractors and supplier parks will be discussed: • The role of small and medium sized branch plants and independent SMEs in the ongoing restructuring process within the automotive industry. What are the prospects for competition with larger firms for first tier contracts?

Proximity changes to what and for whom? Investigating sustainable accessibility change in the Gothenburg city region 1990–2014
- 2018
-
In: International Journal of Sustainable Transportation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1556-8318 .- 1556-8334. ; 12:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper operationalizes the concept of sustainable accessibility by emphasizing the environmental and social dimensions of sustainability from a spatial perspective. In doing so, we develop a heuristic model that focusses on the crucial dimensions of who gets access to what by using sustainable means of movement. We apply our conceptual approach in an examination of trends in sustainable accessibility for different social groups living in Gothenburg, Sweden between 1990 and 2014. On the basis of welfare-related and time-geographical considerations, we investigate accessibility by proximity for low- and high-income earners, people with small children, and elderly people. We investigate to what extent proximity to fundamental facilities increases or decreases over time, indicating changing conditions for sustainability. The results show that opportunities for living a local life and achieving accessibility via proximity differ socially. Low-income earners and the elderly generally live closer to the facilities important for daily life than do high-income earners and parents of young children. We also show that the opportunities for various social groups to obtain access by proximity change over time. For example, we observe a trend in which over time older people face reduced opportunities to reach daily facilities in their local neighbourhoods.
