Ecotourism has been touted globally as a tool that promotes sustainable development. Yet ecotourism and sustainable development are neither simple to define, nor straightforward in regards to their implementation. The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate ecotourism’s relationship to sustainable development. In doing so it develops its own conceptual framework on the sustainability goals

I min hemstad Lidköping ligger ett av nordens största torg; Nya Stadens torg. Torgets och stadens historia är starkt sammankopplat med marknadstraditioner men också med en barock greve som ville bygga en stad i tidens ideal. Idag pågår det torghandel på onsdagar och lördagar på torget, men bortsett från de torgdagarna och vissa större event, står torget oftast tomt och öde. Vad som skulle kunna h

Projektet tar avstamp i den flyktingvåg samt allmänna bostadsbrist som genomsyrar dagens samhälle och samhällsdebatt. Dessa förutsättningar för med sig många utmaningar för såväl politiken som byggbranschen, vilken borde driva fram kreativa lösningar och utmana dagens uppfattning om konceptet bostad. Fokus får inte enbart ligga på mängden bostäder som behövs utan även hur och för vem. Vi som arki

Oslo has until now been divided into the west and east, separated by categories of economic and social class as well as a physical barrier, the river, Akerselva. The west predominantly represents people of middle to upper class, whereas the east represents the middle to lower class people. This division has been formed throughout history, as the river that separates Oslo has been home to industry,

I got to know the city of Dujiangyan during my semester in Sustainable Urban Dynamics. I was fascinated by it because it stood out from the image of China I had in my head. Dujiangyan is one of the greenest cities in China, pollution level is much lower than the average, people are living longer and they are known to be laid-back and relaxed. During my site visit I found Dujiangyan to be a city

Throughout the years, the church has played an integral role in the community. It has served as a spiritual hub, a political symbol, and a center point for the community. One thing that cannot be denied is that the church has had some sort of power and influence on the community throughout different periods of time. You may even argue if the impact it has had on the community is positive or not. S

This thesis examines the enforcement of art 101 TFEU by the European Commission through the lens of the Charter, in particular, art 48(1) thereof which provides for the presumption of innocence. The fact that the fines imposed by the Commission in competition proceedings are considered to be ‘criminal charges’ by the ECtHR seems to have been settled for quite some time now. Granted, the EU has not

As cities expand and climate change effects become more intense and frequent, local governance has gained increased attention as capable of implementing the necessary measures for sustainability. One city in Brazil, Jundiaí, has managed to integrate participatory processes in its local planning and has become an example for other cities in Brazil. This city lies between a water reserve and a biolo

The aim of this study was to establish whether or not a development of the complexity of the noun phrase, i.e. an increase in noun phrase elaboration could be observed in written L2 Swedish over time. To provide an insight to said development, three on L2 English previously tested and strongly correlating phrasal complexity measures, MLNP, MNPDep and WNPCx (Bulté 2013), were employed. A fourth mea

This thesis is based on a quantitative study that is conducted by comparing the fundraising effectiveness of humanitarian non-profit organisations (NPOs) to their program expenditure. The fundraising effectiveness of NPOs is derived from fundraising expenses over donations received. Using two hypotheses that were developed using literature revolving around capabilities, with a special focus on mar

Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka hur Monroes idéer (Monroe, 1997) om en framgångsrik skola fungerar på en svensk skola. För att få reda på mer om framgångsrika skolor, har jag studerat aktuell forskning i ämnet. Jag har även besökt en skola i Sverige där man använder sig av denna skolmodell. Jag har valt att använda mig av kvalitativ forskning, där jag har använt intervjuer, samt ob
