1. Out of the wild : studies on the forest as a recreational resource for urban residents
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores and analyzes the demand for and supply of forests in and near urban areas from a social perspective. Specific focus is directed towards recreational qualities of forests located just outside urban borders, that is, urban fringe forests. To this end, the thesis is based on four empirical research papers. LÄS MER
2. Management of urban woodlands - effects on bird communities and recreational values
Sammanfattning : The ongoing urbanisation increases the pressure on urban nature. Urban woodlands are receiving growing attention as they provide valuable ecosystem services to urban citizens, mainly by providing areas for recreation but also through improving air quality and reducing noise.

3. Multitemporal Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Mapping
Sammanfattning : Urban land cover mapping represents one of the most important remote sensing applications in the context of rapid global urbanization. In recent years, high resolution spaceborne Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) has been increasingly used for urban land cover/land-use mapping, since more information could be obtained in multiple polarizations and the collection of such data is less influenced by solar illumination and weather conditions.

4. Det permanentade provisoriet : ett återanvänt industriområde i väntan på rivning eller erkännande
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the story is told about the 'permanent-provisional state' that has come about in a never completed, and now degenerated, industrial zone in Göteborg. In the "Gustaf Dalén area" there is a rich mixture of activities, and by and large no resident population. LÄS MER
5. Remote Sensing of Urbanization and Environmental Impacts
Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to establish analytical frameworks to map urban growth patterns with spaceborne remote sensing data and to evaluate environmental impacts through Landscape Metrics and Ecosystem Services. Urbanization patterns at regional scale were evaluated in China's largest urban agglomerations and at metropolitan scale in Shanghai, Stockholm and Beijing using medium resolution optical satellite data.
