Bucht, Eivor, 'Public Parks in Sweden, 1860-1960: The Planning and Design Discourse', PhD, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, 1997 Abstract: Abstract: This study embraces public parks in Sweden. The point of departure has been that idealistic conditions have played a major role both for the origin of public parks as well as for their design and content. As parks were designed or laid out by specific authors it has been essential to study what approach these originators and other principals have used, and what ideas have guided their work. The results points at strong international influences throughout the period. During the nineteenth century germany was the most influential country. Also Denmark has played an important role. The public parks discourse hass during the whole period been dominated by the idea of the park as a landscape garden in which the functional aspects of play, sports, and recreation are being incorporated.

Published in the Flemish/Dutch Journal for Environmental History. During the 1970s the Peat District in Groningen regularly came into the news. The problems surrounding waste water were a controversial issue. Indeed, already in the 19th century people were aware of the water pollution in the Peat Colonies. But then the attitudes in the period between 1850 and 1980 have contributed to the speed with which the problems were solved. Eventually a combination of social, economic and technical developments led to the solution of the problem. Keywords: water pollution, Netherlands

Abstract: This article focuses accessability issues in principle, and on public access to the countryside for outdoor recreation in Sweden 1880-2000 in particular. The article consists of three main parts: (i) A general discussion of accessability and a presentation of a conceptual framework of three ecostrategies with regard to landscape integration and attitudes towards nature (factory, one's home district, museum). (ii) An empirical investigation of the "allemansrätt" (the right of public access to the countryside: meaning that everyone has the right, with certain restrictions, to move freely, pick muchrooms, flowers, berries etc) in Sweden during the last 100 years based upon governmental sources and yearbooks of the Swedish Tourist Association (1886-1986). (iii) A discussion of the empirical investigation, using the conceptual framework introduced, and with some remarks regarding the current situation.

Abstract: In a transition towards sustainability, rural land use is of certain interest, owing to the environmental impact of modern farming and forestry, and also to its potential role in a recycling society. The prospects of sustainable land use depend on the farmers, and their conception of sustainability. This dissertation is concerned with farmers relation to the landscape. Regional variations are investigated and the spatial dimension fo sustainability is considered by an examination of the farmers as actors in a local rural system. The results indicate a hidden potential in the attitudes of many farmers, remains of a traditional way of thinking and relating to nature and neighbours. By considering the place context, a potential in existing relations between man and environment is revealed. Keywords: sustainable land use, farmers, agriculture, Sweden

D, 1997 , 40(5), 509-517 pp. Abstract: Abstract: An extended narrative dataset of the Medieval time AD 708-1426 in continental western Europe was set up. Some 30-year-moving mean seasonal temperature deviation series were reconstructed. A warming trend occured around AD 1200. During the warm stage, seasonal cycle might be weak due to frequent cool summers. Significant warm summer conditions did not occur until the late fourteenth century, when the annual temperature level began decreasing. The mean warm season temperature level during the late fourteenth century to the early fifteenth century might be about 0.3 degrees C higher than the present. It was suggested to cautiously comment on histocial climates for different seasons. Keywords: historical climat, narrative records, Medieval Warm Epoch
