This thesis examines a community‐based approach to promoting cycling, suggesting that a top‐down approach of infrastructure and facilities should be complemented by a bottom‐up approach by the community to help address complex behavioural norms inherent in transport modal choice. The research hinges on the framing of cycling as culture – a holistic yet heterogeneous activity – and the idea that de

This paper aims to examine how hotels within a geographically confined space, such as Lund, are working with innovation to create competitive advantages in terms of improved results. We have performed a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with representatives from hotels in Lund.

Sammanfattning Efterfrågan på jordbruksmark har under senare år ökat dramatiskt. De huvudsakliga bakomliggande drivkrafterna till denna är jordens växande befolkning, produktivitetsminskning av tidigare fertil jordbruksmark, ökad efterfrågan på biobränsleproduktion samt de stigande matpriserna. Dessa faktorer har resulterat i att ett stort antal nationer och företag investerar i jordbruksmark utanDemand for agricultural land has increased dramatically in recent years. The drivers behind this increase are the world’s growing population, the decrease in productivity in former fertile agricultural land, the increased demand for bioenergy production and the rising food prices. These factors have led to an increasing amount of companies and nations that have made investments in agricultural lan

The term the 'Jade Road' is very hard to find in English literature yet the Chinese term '玉石之路' exists within Chinese archaeological and cultural articles (and even in business and travel magazines) as a prehistory to the 'Silk Road'.

The infrastructure and the traffic that it brings affect wild animals and thus the entire biodiversity. The human built up network of cities and connecting roads are major barriers for many species in the natural world, making it harder for them to move through the landscape. The more roads in a landscape, the more fragmented it gets and with it important habitats get degraded. Long-term effects f

This thesis aims to examine the lexical and typological change found in the Western European language families of Germanic, Romance and Celtic over the last two millennia. The method used was to create one lexical and one typological database and the data was analysed according to etic grids. Tree models were generated from the results of the databases and the groups found in the tree models were

The goal is to evaluate advantages and disadvantages using different methods when mapping and identifying dependencies and impacts to urban flows for societal functions. Urban flows is a new concept used in dependency analysis and therefore one of the aims is to investigate whether this concept is practically useful or if it is too comple
