Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this research in progress is to explore the process of physical planning related to transport of dangerous goods in the City of Gothenburg (CoG) in Sweden. We have identified actors involved, some of their conflicts of interest, and challenges discernable in the planning process and in external yet related activities. Such activities are transportation of dangerous goods itself, and its supervisory control. Qualitative data in terms of written documentation from the detailed plan for transport of dangerous goods in CoG, and transcriptions of interviews have been analyzed. The ontology of the planning process, in terms of internal and external actors, activities, documentation, including legal frameworks, and issues such as access to information, information sharing, and information quality, indicate that the process can be seen as an information environment (Magoulas and Pessi, 1998; Hugosson, Magoulas, and Pessi, 2011). In the next step, the authors intend to expand the research work, and to conceptualize the planning process as an information environment. Stimulated by the idea of possible similarities between the planning process and large architectural design projects, the information environment is planned to be studied as form, context, and temporality (Boland, et al., 2008 and 2020). The research relates to the zero vision in traffic and a safer society (Trafikutskottet, 1998), strategy for research and development - Investing in knowledge for a safer society (MSB 2019), SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities, and to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. This paper reports on research executed within the transdisciplinary research project Transparent information management and collaboration for increased safety in the transport of dangerous goods (TISS, 2016-2021).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The adoption of e-Customs platforms to simultaneously ensure regulatory compliance and to facilitate trade is a major strategic issue for governments and customs administrations worldwide. It ensures a more cost-efficient usage of resources while preserving a smooth flow of goods across international borders. Hence, customs administrations are challenged to favor the introduction of IT systems that may enhance the ability to improve information sharing with the business sector, as well as with other governmental agencies. This is often not a straightforward process. As many experts point out, e-Government development projects fail commonly due to the lack of thorough understanding of administration requirements as well as barriers for implementation. Hence, the purpose of this study is to understand what factors enable or hinder the exploitation of e-Customs platforms. By means of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), a theoretical framework is developed to identify drivers and barriers for usage of e-Government/e-Customs platforms. Thereby, a survey instrument was developed and data was collected in occasion of a World Customs Organization (WCO) Annual Council meeting, which was joined by around 400 customs delegates and officers from 178 WCO member administrations. A total of 94 questionnaires have been collected and analyzed, which gives an approximate response rate of 23% (46% considering only the 178 member administrations). The analysis of data has been performed by a combination of multivariate techniques and ANOVA. Results show that factors like cost-savings and ease of use significantly influence the usage of e-Customs platforms. On the contrary, cost-efficiency and usefulness of e-Customs platforms have no significant impacts. From the perspective of barriers preventing adoption, this paper identifies two main factors: 1) technical constraints and costs and 2) quality and trust. Both these factors significantly influence adoption of information sharing, in the context of business-customs communication.

En förstudie om utmaningar och risker med transporter av farligt gods i urban miljö Case: riskområde Älvstaden i Göteborg
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Forskarna i det planerade projektet RADAR har genomfört den förstudie som redovisas här. Den visar på behov av ny kunskap om transporter av farligt gods i urban miljö. En projektansökan med Älvstaden som case är under utveckling. RADAR står för behov av ny kunskap och detektering av utmaningar och risker med transporter av farligt gods i urban miljö. Internationell forskning visar att transportolyckor i urban miljö orsakar betydande materiella skador, utsläpp av miljöfarliga ämnen, och dessvärre dödsfall (Olsson et al, 2016). Transporter av farligt gods har inte genererat några stora olyckor i Sverige (Trafikverket, 2014). Ändå inträffade 296 olyckor under perioden 2007-2012 (MSB 2014). I urban miljö ökar riskerna i och med vägnätets närhet till bostäder och verksamheter och Älvstaden i Göteborg är ett område som utgör ett tydligt exempel på detta med betydande flöden av människor och farligt gods på en liten yta. Projektet RADAR syftar till att klargöra och analytiskt beskriva risker och utmaningar med transport av farligt gods i urban miljö, och att undersöka och analysera den fysiska planeringens styrning, praktik och konflikter. Det övergripande syftet med RADAR är att bidra till nollvisionen i trafiken och ett säkrare samhälle genom att tillföra relevant kunskap som kan användas av de aktörer som har som ansvar att skydda liv, hälsa, egendom och miljö. RADAR relaterar till MSB:s strategi för forskning och utveckling – Investering i kunskap för ett säkrare samhälle, SDG 11 Hållbara städer och samhällen, och till Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
