  • Att mäta och kommunicera hållbart : en analys av ett svenskt jordbruk
  • 2011
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Tools that highlight the human impact on ecosystems and the accelerating depletion of natural resources are essential in the strife towards a more sustainable way of living. Emergy analysis is a scientific and robust method to assess the degree of sustainability of human as well as natural systems. Despite the advantages of the method, its public breakthrough has been slow. One reason could be that the results of an emergy analysis are difficult to grasp. In contrast, ecological footprint is a concept that has a widespread impact, much due to its pedagogical disposition. Ecological footprint made use of the vision to develop a method to well communicate the magnitude of human effect on nature. Another more recently created method suitable in this context is ecosystem services. Ecosystem services as a concept is not yet so well developed methodologically, but its use of mainstream concepts point toward a promising application. The main purpose of this study is to make the emergy analysis and ecosystem services methods more accessible and also to facilitate effective communication of the results from these methods. The second part of the study aims to assess the degree of sustainability ofan agricultural system in central Sweden by means of emergy analysis and ecosystems services. By demonstrating the results of the emergy analysis as a foot- and fingerprint, a better understanding of the outcome may be achieved. The footprint, here called emergy-based footprint, visualizes all resources used in the production system. An emergy-based fingerprint identifies the resources of the most important items in the system. Furthermore, ecosystem services are evaluated from a data matrix and presented by means of a radar diagram. Alternative scenarios for the agricultural system were created in the study, each presented as an emergy-based foot- and fingerprint, as well as by means of a radar diagram to visualize the values of the ecosystem services. Together, these methods demonstrate the sustainability characteristics of the different production systems. Results from this study suggest the agricultural system analysed, as well as the developed scenarios, not to be sustainable. The use of emergy analysis combined with ecosystem services and the visualization methods developed in this study, serve to provide accessible and effective communication methods when aiming to transform agricultural systems towards sustainability. The communication methods developed in this study are alsoapplicable in systems other than agriculture.

  • Communicating emergy analysis as footprint and emergy profile
  • 2010
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Tools highlighting our attention to human impact on nature and humans accelerating depletion of natural resources, such as fossil fuels, are important in making a change towards a more sustainable way of living. Emergy analysis is a scientific and robust method feasible to appraise the degree of sustainability of human systems. In spite of the advantages of the method, a public breakthrough takes place slowly. One reason could be that the results of an emergy analysis are difficult to grasp. This study aims to assess the degree of sustainability of an agricultural system in central Sweden by means of emergy analysis, and explore effective communication of this information. By demonstrating the results of the analysis in the form of a footprint and emergy profile, a better understanding of the outcome may be achieved. The footprint, here called emergy–based footprint, visualizes all resources used in the production system. The emergy profile shows the emergy flows of the most important items in the system. Alternative visualizations of the agricultural system were created in the study, each scenario presented in an emergy-based footprint as well as in an emergy profile. Together, they show the characteristics of the different production systems. This model may serve as an accessible and communicative guide when trying to transform the Swedish agricultural system, as well as agricultural production worldwide in the direction of sustainability. The model is applicable in general system as well.

  • Embodying Hygienic Discourses : Struggles over access to water and sanitation for ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in Stockholm
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Access to decent water and sanitation infrastructure (WSI) is now enshrined as a basic social right for all, regardless of citizenship or housing status, and yet many homeless people in Europe still lack basic access, with severe implications for both health and social inclusion. This paper addresses the issue of access to WSI for predominantly Roma ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ living in a state of homelessness in Stockholm, Sweden. Through research grounded predominantly in interviews carried out with more than 40 such individuals between 2015 and 2021, the paper considers how access to WSI is negotiated in the face of multiple barriers, as well as the role that exclusion from WSI plays in furthering social marginalization for this group. The findings highlight the emotional consequences of exclusion from WSI and the impact this has on the subsequent spatial practices of these individuals, suggesting that a lack of access to WSI can fortify existing barriers to social inclusion. As such, the paper stresses both the practical need to ensure the right to WSI for marginalized groups and the need for critical geographers working with homelessness to engage more deeply with the emotional aspects of exclusion from urban infrastructures.

  • Homeless in 'The People's Home' : Exploring the experiences of 'vulnerable EU citizens' in Stockholm, Sweden
  • 2022
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Since the early 2010s, Stockholm has seen a visible emergence of homelessness and begging amongst predominantly Romanian citizens, many of whom identify as Roma, who have collectively come to be known as ‘vulnerable EU citizens’. Despite their prolonged presence and a great deal of political attention, there remains a lack of in-depth research into their experiences of homelessness in the city.  This thesis addresses this gap and seeks to forge a deeper understanding for both the experiences and spatial practices of these individuals in Stockholm, as well as the responses with which they have been met by state and society at the local and national levels. The study employs a mixture of qualitative research methods, primarily grounded in semi-structured interviews with ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in Stockholm, alongside interviews with other actors in the city, ethnographic observations and text analysis. It is theoretically grounded primarily within the critical literature on geographies of homelessness.The thesis consists of a comprehensive summary and three papers, all with a focus on understanding the experiences of ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in Stockholm and the ambivalent responses with which they have been met. Paper 1 explores issues relating to access to water and sanitation infrastructure for this group in Stockholm. In doing so it reveals the multiple strategies that individuals must employ in order to meet their basic needs, as well as the effects that limited access can have with regard to their emotional experiences and spatial practices in the city. Paper 2 directs attention to the use of public space for livelihood activities in two areas of Stockholm, with a focus on the ways in which ­local police have responded to begging practices. It demonstrates the ways in which unevenly punitive policing landscapes have developed through interwoven relations including the agency of individual police officers and the path-dependencies created by local spatial orders. Paper 3 turns to analyse the logics and effects of national political discourses addressing the presence of ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in Sweden, placing these political discourses into conversation with interview material collected in Stockholm with ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ themselves. The analysis suggests a political response that is sensitive to the potentially damaging effects that this visible form of homelessness can have from the perspective of the majority housed-population, more so than to the needs of those actually experiencing homelessness.  Together, the papers highlight the multiple barriers that these individuals must overcome in order to meet their basic needs, while suggesting that the ambivalence of state responses stems from a need to maintain a discursive moral legitimacy while seeking to promote the ‘voluntary return’ of these individuals to their countries of origin. These results then suggest a conflation of homelessness management with a politics of international mobility control, and the thesis contributes to the international literature on geographies of homelessness by engaging with this under researched aspect of modern homelessness management in the European context.

  • Neutralizing Homelessness Across Borders : Deconstructing political narratives about ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in Sweden
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The presence of ’vulnerable EU citizens’ living in a state of homelessness in Sweden has proven politically divisive and created a number of novel challenges for the Swedish state to address. This paper explores the ways in which this phenomenon has been discursively framed by leading political figures in Sweden, identifying three dominant, recurring ‘narratives’ and submitting these to a discourse analysis in an attempt to better understand ambivalent state responses to this issue. The analysis also draws on interview material collected amongst ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in Stockholm in order to give voice to these counter-discourses and to highlight silences and assumptions within the dominant political discourses. The paper employs Peter Marcuse’s (1988) concept of ‘neutralizing homelessness’ as a springboard for analysis, arguing that the Swedish political response can be characterized by attempts to neutralize the effects of this form of homelessness on the majority population. However, it is argued that ‘neutralization’ takes a different form in a context in which the homeless population are positioned as temporary migrants, suggesting the need to revisit Marcuse’s ideas in a manner that is relational and contingent, in response to novel forms of homelessness.

  • Revanchism via Pedestrianism : Street-level Bureaucracy in the Production of Uneven Policing Landscapes
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Antipode. - : Wiley. - 0066-4812 .- 1467-8330. ; 53:3, s. 906-927
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The emergence over the last decade of large numbers of vulnerable EUcitizens begging on Swedish streets has led to ambivalent responses from the Swedishstate, including from local police forces charged with policing public order. Based onresearch including interviews with vulnerable EU citizens and with police officials intwo socio-economically divergent areas of Stockholm, this paper seeks to understandhow policing practices are motivated and enacted towards this group and how thesepractices are experienced by those targeted. The results reveal a set of policing practiceswhich, whilst framed within a depoliticised logic of what Nicholas Blomley calls“pedestrianism”, work to produce spatially uneven punitive landscapes for those begging.The paper argues that understanding the role of police as “street-level bureaucrats”(following Michael Lipsky), with the agency to escalate or soften revanchistlandscapes, is fundamental to understanding the contingencies at the heart of punitiveurbanisms.

  • Negotiating asymmetric borders in an emerging soft region
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: European Planning Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0965-4313 .- 1469-5944. ; 30, s. 2353-2372
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In contemporary planning, the development of soft regions through inter-municipal collaborations plays an increasingly important role. However, as previous research has shown, local borders and local jurisdiction are likely to remain as part and parcel of the new region. This paper argues the need to consider the geography of such local borders, to reveal asymmetries which could weaken the opportunities for inter-municipal collaboration. Following relational geography, we argue that the municipalities don't necessarily share the same border; if understood as a relational effect, the border plays different roles for each municipality. With this in mind, we offer a case study of how a Swedish local border is being negotiated within planning. The case of Kumla and Hallsberg reveals how one municipality is active in trying to negotiate the border, whereas the other procrastinates around any action which do not lie in their interest. The result is a border haunted by decades of poorly coordinated, even provocative, planning actions. Our study opens up for a discussion on asymmetries and a relational understanding of the geography (and history) of planning, as well as for further studies of the interplay between the renegotiation of the local borders within emerging soft regions.

  • Planning at the edge - aspects on inter-municipal and border related spatial planning in a new Swedish geography
  • 2021
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This licentiate thesis investigates how municipal division and local borders may affect spatial planning and the possibilities for coordination of inter-municipal and cross-border planning issues, which has become increasingly important in recent decades as a result of, amongst other things, regional enlargement and an emerging need for increased environmental consideration and climate change adaptation. The overall question, which derives from the author's many years of professional experience as a planning architect, is examined through two studies, presented in two different papers: The first paper explores the problem from a municipal perspective through a case study of two municipalities, Hallsberg and Kumla, with a long history of border related conflicts and collaborations, while the second paper examines the question primarily from a state perspective by investigating the Swedish planning system and municipal division in relation to certain recent geographical changes. Generally, the findings indicate that municipal borders are increasingly suboptimal due to the discrepancy between the emerging new geography and the “old” geography that has formed the basis of both municipal division and the planning legislation. Local geography and territorial conditions are thereby being increasingly influential to the process and outcome of spatial planning. On a theoretical note, the thesis contributes to a fuller understanding of the complex local border geography and helps to bring the discussion on planning back to a geographical, and territorial context.
