1. 11. Walking as a transport mode : Examining the role of preconditions, planning aspects and personal traits for the urban pedestrian

   Författare :David Lindelöw; Trafik och väg; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Walking; walkability; built environment; everyday life; transport planning; pedestrian;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to examine how walking as a transport mode is constructed in the planning realm, affected by the built environment and perceived by the individual. This aim is related to the following research questions: (1) How are pedestrians and walking understood, constructed and perceived in the planning context? (2) How does individual traits and the built environment affect the propensity of walking?The thesis starts off by arguing for the need of a holistic take on walking as a mode of transport (Study A).

In addition, interferences caused by power frequency magnetic fields (PFMFs) on electron beam based electronic equipment (e.g. LÄS MER

4. 13. Income, Energy Taxation, and the Environment : An Econometric analysis

   Författare :Tarek Ghalwash; Runar Brännlund; Pere Riera; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Household consumption; energy demand; emissions; rebound effect; energy taxation; tax elasticities Environmental services; income elasticities; Engel Curves; income distribution.; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers: two of them deal with the relationship between consumption, energy taxation, and emissions on macro level, and two of them focuses on the effects of changes in consumption and income on the environmental quality on a micro level. The main objective of paper [I] is to examine how exogenous technological progress, in terms of an increase in energy efficiency, affects consumption choice by Swedish households and thereby emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx).
