    Informal settlements in the peri-urban areas of Bahir Dar, Ethiopia: An institutional analysis2014In: Habitat International, ISSN 0197-3975, E-ISSN 1873-5428, Vol. 43, p. 90-97Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Peri-urban land which has been used predominantly for agricultural purposes and held by local farmers is a target area for informal settlements in Ethiopia. An increasing number of people try to solve their housing needs by getting a plot of land informally in the transitional peri-urban areas. The purpose of this study is to explore the principal actors involved in the informal conversion of peri-urban agricultural land into urban built-up property. This study is also aimed at demonstrating the role of non-state institutions in facilitating informal acquisition and development of peri-urban plots. Both questionnaire and document analysis were the main sources of data for this study. The result of this study indicated that traditional social institutions played a significant role in processing peri-urban informal settlements and stabilizing land related conflicts by social sanction measures. The study has also found out that the process of acquiring a plot of land from peri-urban areas passes through its own stages which mainly start with identifying a plot for sale and ends with the confirmation of traditional letter of agreement signed by transacting parties without legal ground to do so.

    Expropriation, Valuation and Compensation in Ethiopia2014Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines how the expropriation, valuation and compensation process are carried out in Ethiopia when privately held land and attached real properties are taken for public and private investment purposes. The study  examines three case studies, inquiring whether the process of expropriation and valuation are transparent and  justified or not and the compensation paid is fair and reasonable from an international perspective. A valid with  theoretical background, the study examines practical problems that faced expropriatees and searches for possible theoretical explanations. The study also assesses whether there is a gap between the laws and the practice undertake on the ground.

    The study reveals that expropriation as a concept and a land policy tool has economic and political justification and acceptance in Ethiopia. Similar to other developing countries, Ethiopia has faced enormous economic and social problems. The question of housing and other real estate construction for high population pressure, the development and investment questions, poor public utility facilities and other public interests are some of the problems that need the intervention of both the Federal and Regional governments. In order to facilitate these needs of the society, the Federal government, the City Administrations and/or Regional governments have been using “expropriation” as a meaningful and useful management tool. However,  the field survey result  reveals that different compensation standards among government institutions, inadequate compensation standards for loss of land use rights, lack of professional and certified property valuers, lack of reliable and up to date data and nontransparent expropriation and valuation procedures are some of the main problems that impend the proper and equitable implementation of expropriation, valuation and compensation in the country in general and the study areas in particular.

    Another emerging issue is how the land laws especially the expropriation and payment of compensation laws are applied. It is evident that the application of and adherence to legal provisions with consistency, transparency and objectivity; by the acquiring authorities in ensuring that fairness is done, seems to be quite crucial. On the other hand, non-adherence to such laws brings numerous implementation problems in such programs. Whereas the affected expropriatees need “fair treatment and compensation” the government wants to pay a “manageable compensation” so, this thesis argues for a reasonable compensation to be established by striking a balance between these two view points.

    This study ends up by proposing that both the Federal and Regional governments should revise the land laws especially the expropriation and payment of compensation laws in such a way that it would define and protect property rights for the vulnerable groups both in urban and rural areas and where and when these rights are acquired “reasonable compensation” must be paid.

    Land Rights and Expropriation in Ethiopia2013Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines and analyses the expropriation laws and practices in Ethiopia. The objective of the thesis is to analyze and describe the land rights and expropriation laws in Ethiopia and to compare them with the practice in order to determine the fairness of compensation. The study is made against the Ethiopian Constitution and other subsidiary legislations which provide the basic land rights and the nature and details of expropriation.

    The basic argument made in this thesis is that even if the Ethiopian Constitution provides and guarantees common ownership of land (together with the state) to the people, this right has not been fully realized whether in terms of land accessibility, enjoyablity, and payment of fair compensation in the event of expropriation.

    The reasons have to do either with the faulty nature of the laws or with their implementation by public authorities. From the outset, the constitution excludes land as a subject of compensation. For this reason, land is being excluded from the compensation package and hence it has no value for the holder. Urban land holders are denied location value of their property, which they can collect it otherwise during sale, and hence the compensation becomes unfair. Similarly, rural farmers are denied compensation for the complete loss of their farm land. The denial of compensation for the value of the land is categorically in contradiction with the very principle of joint ownership of land by the people and the state.

    There are also other reasons which are related to the law or its practical applicability, such as valuation process which reduces the amount of compensation. There are also property interests which are not included as compensable interests.

    Payment of compensation is one factor for secure property right and hence sustainable development. To ensure fair compensation in the event of compensation, a legal and policy level reform is necessary to address and amend the existing problems. Further, to harmonize the laws and practices is imperative to reduce the amount of injustice existed in today’s expropriation procedure in Ethiopia.

    Bostadsförsörjning möter arkitektur: En fallstudie av Tyresö och Nacka kommuner.2020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This essay investigates how two of the municipalities of Sweden works with housing supply and which demands they place on the design and the formation of new buildings to fit in with the vision of the municipalities. Many of the municipalities of Sweden are actively working with densification of their already developed areas. In connection with this, a greater focus is required on how the municipalities should work with design for the buildings to fit into the existing environment. At the same time, there are requirements nationally which determine how many homes are to be completed and that all different types of households in terms of, for example, size and social conditions must have access to a home. How does this work in practice? How can the municipalities work to provide housing for everyone while increasing the focus on architecture and design? This comparative study shows that the municipality of Tyresö and the municipality of Nacka have different approaches to highlight architecture and design. Both municipalities prioritize design and it’s shown by their work with quality programs or design programs, or both, in every project. Nacka has also created an architecture policy that will permeate the projects or form the basis for the documents produced within the projects. Their attempt to build for all types of households is clearly seen in the variety of newly build projects. How architecture and design complicate, raises prices or in other affects the projects is not clear in this study. 

    Based on this result, it’s hard to motivate in what way the architectural policy affects the housing supply, and this is something which should be further investigated. The result shows tendencies that the municipalities choose when architecture should be a large part of the projects and not. In central locations, the focus is on specific requirements of details and the creation of vibrant urban environment in the surroundings. For the low-resourced households, the municipalities choose to work primarily to make the projects fit into the environment rather than making demands on details.

    Urbanization, productivity, and innovation: Evidence from investment in higher education2009In: Journal of Urban Economics, ISSN 0094-1190, E-ISSN 1095-9068, Vol. 66, no 1, p. 2-15Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    During the past two decades, Swedish government policy has decentralized post-secondary education throughout the country. We investigate the economic effects of this decentralization policy on the level of productivity and innovation and their spatial distribution in the national economy. We find important and significant effects of this investment policy upon economic output and the locus of knowledge production, suggesting that the decentralization has affected regional development through local innovation and increased creativity. Our evidence also suggests that aggregate productivity was increased by the deliberate policy of decentralization. Finally, we estimate the spillovers of university investment over space, finding that they are substantial, but that they are greatly attenuated. Agglomerative effects decline rapidly; roughly half of the productivity gains from these investments are manifest within 5-8 km of the community in which they are made.

    Land Resource Management Policy in Selected European Countries2022In: Land, E-ISSN 2073-445X, Vol. 11, no 12, p. 2280-2280Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Land use, land resource demands, and landscape management practices are linked to many of the environmental, climatic, and socio-economic challenges faced by contemporary society. The study focuses on a comparative analysis of the experience of the land resource management (LRM); thus, the study aims respond to how the land-related resources are managed, what policy instruments support it, and what improvements would promote the sustainable management of these resources. Exploring LRM policies in selected countries, the experience of three Baltic countries and two other countries under the jurisdiction of continental Europe was analyzed, and their comparison was made based on qualitative research methodology. Based on the study’s results, the most important comparative characteristics of LRM policies are discussed. The findings of the study in selected countries provide recommendations for improving the institutional framework related to LRM. However, the outcome encourages a transfer of the research experience to other jurisdictions.

    Experience of digital examination in Sweden: Some preliminary findings from three different perspectives2015In: INTED2015 Proceedings, iated Digital Library , 2015, p. 4001-4007Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Swedish higher educational system is under pressure. The competition from international universities is getting fiercer, and the demographical projections indicate that the number of students entering the university system is peaking right now. At the same time, the financial support from the government is decreasing. In order to stay competitive Swedish universities are trying to find strategies for using the scarce resources in the optimal way. The problem is to strike a balance between quality and efficiency.Over the past ten years a lot of improvement has been made within the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) regarding quality and innovation in education. Pedagogical courses are mandatory for the staff, and the merits of educational experience have been emphasized in hiring new staff members. Even though problem-based learning, constructive alignment and peer instruction are common in most courses today, some other aspects of education and learning remains the same. One such conservative trait has to do with written examinations. Since the founding of the university in 1827, all written examinations have been done using paper and pen at the Royal Institute of Technology. It is interesting to note that even the school of computer science is using paper and pen for their final written examinations. The problems with using paper and pen are numerous and includes; problems with reading and grading because of poor handwriting, distribution of exams between teachers in the same course, written exams getting lost, etc. In comparison with other parts of the educational system, little has happened to improve quality and efficiency when it comes to written examinations.During 2013 and 2014 a number of teachers initiated a project for increasing the efficiency in written exams. There was a general understanding that the final part of the courses consumed too much time and effort in relations to the other parts. Hence, new software for digital examinations was identified and a license was purchased. This paper summarizes the experiences that the teachers have made during this trial period. The experiences are divided between three different perspectives; the teachers, the students and the administrators. From the teachers perspective the experiences have been very positive – less time have been allocated to grading written exams, the grades are perceived as more just and the saved time can be spent on increasing the quality on other parts of the course. From a student perspective the experiences have been positive – most students are positive in that they get the results much quicker, that they can edit their answers on the exam easier and that the grades are more just. The experiences from the final perspective – that from the administrators’ point of view – are far more complex. Some parts of the administrative system encouraged the projects, whereas other parts tried to stop it, using different measures.The paper concludes with some advice on implementing changes in written exams, based on the experiences from the Swedish case.

    Planprocessen: Tidsåtgång och särskilt upprättade dokument2011Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Detaljplaneprocessens längd och komplexitet har diskuterats i många sammanhang. Diskussionerna har påverkat utformningen av den nya plan- och bygglag som trädde i kraft 2 maj 2011 med syfte att få till snabbare och enklare planprocesser. Så mot bakgrund av detta är syftet med det här examensarbetet att visa på tidsåtgången för detaljplaneprocessen. Processen har delats upp i olika skeden för att se om det är något skede som tar särskilt lång tid och vad det i så fall beror på. Det har även noterats om en miljökonsekvensbeskrivning eller ett gestaltningsprogram har upprättats. Det är tio detaljplaner som alla vunnit laga kraft som har studerats. Planerna är hämtade från olika kommuner runt om i Sverige för att ge en bred bild av hur processen går till, de är upprättade med och utan program samt med normalt och enkelt planförfarande. Tiden som studerats sträcker sig från att en ansökan om planläggning inkommer till kommunen eller att kommunen själv tar beslut om att planlägga ett område fram till att detaljplanen vinner laga kraft. Tidsåtgången varierar kraftigt mellan planerna, resultatet visar på att det som tar tid och i sin tur förlänger planprocessen i de här fallen är samrådsskedet, om planen överklagats samt "annat arbete". "Annat arbete" är ett skede under planprocessen som jag inte studerat och där jag därför inte vet vad som har hänt. För flera av planerna går mycket tid till detta och säkert med all rätt då det är ett omfattande arbete att ta fram en detaljplan och tillhörande utredningar så som riskanalys, bullerutredning m.m. Att samrådsskedet tar tid beror i de här fallen på att samrådsredogörelsen ofta inte upprättas direkt efter att samrådet avslutats samt att det i ett fall fick hållas ett extra samråd efter att arbetet legat nere på grund av konjunkturläget och planen sedan arbetats om. Även om det är ett par skeden under processen som tar lång tid för alla planerna är det egentligen olika faktorer som inte alltid går att påverka som spelar in och gör att processen blir utdragen.

    Hållbarhet, regelverk och roller från detaljplan till bygglov2020Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    För att främja en omställning mot hållbar stadsutveckling har de flesta kommuner formulerat mål för att minska miljöpåverkan, säkerställa en hållbar hushållning med naturresurser och främja social hållbarhet inom kommunen. Det har resulterat i att hållbarhetsfrågor får en allt mer framträdande plats även i detaljplaner. I dagens planeringspraktik förekommer det dock att flera av de ambitioner och åtgärder som diskuterades i planprocessen inte genomförs och att projektet därmed inte bidrar i samma utsträckning till hållbar stadsutveckling som planerat. Det finns flera möjliga förklaringar till detta som bl.a. kan kopplas till regelverket samt till hur arbetet med plan- och bygglovsdokument organiseras inom kommunen och de olika roller och kompetenser som finns inom organisationen. Det övergripande syftet med forskningsprojektet har varit att undersöka möjligheter och hinder i planerings- och markexploateringsprocessen från detaljplan till bygglov för att främja hållbar stadsutveckling, där vi bland annat har studerat hantering och implementering av sociala, ekonomiska och miljömässiga hållbarhetsambitioner i processen, kontinuiteten mellan de olika skedena och hur kompetensbehovet tillgodoses. För att undersöka detta har vi använt en kombination av metoder föratt samla in information och analysera dagens praxis, såsom litteraturstudier med koppling till regelverket och dokumentstudier av t.ex. planbeskrivningar och kvalitetsprogram, samt fallstudier av några aktuella detaljplaner i fyra kommuner med uttalade hållbarhetsambitioner, inklusive intervjuer med representanter från de aktörer som är involverade i projekten. Fallstudierna visar att kommuner på olika sätt arbetar med att stärka hållbarhetsfrågor i planeringen av nya stadsutvecklingsprojekt. Resultaten visar att kommunerna har tagit upp hållbarhet i olika policydokument, även om det finns skillnader i vilka hållbarhetsfrågor som tas upp och i vilken detaljeringsgrad de behandlas. Dessa policydokument är kommunernas agenda för hållbar stads-utveckling, där en del frågor hanteras i detaljplanen, medan andra frågor hanteras i markanvisnings-tävlingar och -avtal där byggaktörer åtar sig att genomföra åtgärder utifrån kommunernas tävlings-kriterier. Gemensamma seminarier eller byggherredialoger främjar innovation och kompetens-utveckling. Processen visar ett intimt samband mellan målsättning, detaljplanering och förhandlingar mellan kommunen och byggaktörerna. Det är dock viktigt att skapa en löpande dialog om genomförandet av hållbarhetsfrågor eftersom projekten ändras och nya personer kommer in som behöver informeras om tidigare diskussioner. När det gäller kompetensbehovet kan vi konstatera att det upplevts som positivt med arbets- och styrgrupper med blandade yrken och utbildningsbakgrund, liksom kontinuitet och en fortsatt process mellan olika skeden. Vi har även noterat att det finns en bredd av olika diskussions- och mötesformer representerade i de undersökta kommunerna, såsom dialog via workshoppar, seminarieserier, tävling och byggherredialog. Kommunerna försöker inkludera många aktörer redan från början av processen när de äger marken för att skapa ett kollektivt lärande. Studien visar på vikten av kommunalt markägande, vilket gör det möjligt för kommuner att ställa krav genom markanvisning. En aktiv markpolitik kan således vara en bra strategi för kommuner med begränsat markägande, liksom en proaktiv kommunal agenda för hållbar stadsutveckling som ger en grund för kravställning i kommande projekt. Slutligen bidrar en tidig dialog mellan kommuner och byggbolag till en diskussion om möjliga innovationer inom hållbar stadsutveckling och engagemang bland partner. Våra studier har visat att hållbarhetsambitioner spelar en viktig roll i detaljplanering i Sverige och hanteras i gränssnittet mellan kommuner och byggaktörer i seminarier, tävlingar och dialoger samt formaliseras i detaljplaner och genomförandeavtal. För att bredda kunskapen bör framtida forskning fokusera på hur hållbarhetshänsyn kan stärkas ytterligare i detaljplanering.

    Markanknutna gemensamma nyttigheter: en analysmodell för byggande, underhåll, användning och finansiering2006Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other scientific)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis deals with appropriate legislation concerning common utilities, such as infra-structural facilities and natural resources, which can regulate construction, maintenance, use and financing. Appropriate legislation can be viewed in the two main perspectives, effi-ciency and equity, and the thesis concerns primarily on efficiency.

    The purpose is to develop an analytical model, which can be used to facilitate structured assessments concerning the management of common utilities. The problem field concerned is of great complexity, and the model is therefore to be viewed as a support for decision-making, not as an instrument capable of delivering ready-made solutions.

    To structure the problem area it’s divided into three parts, the social, physical and institu-tional environments.

    The social environment is concerned with factors, such as group size and amount of trust and social capital, which can influence the feasibility of co-operation. The analysis leads to a classification of three social groups: Close-knit, loosely-knit and anonymous.

    The physical environment is concerned with characteristics of utilities, which influences need for, and feasibility of, co-operation. Rivalry of use and excludability are identified as important factors in this aspect. By combining them six types of goods can be identified: Private goods, club goods, common pool resources, toll goods, public goods and local pub-lic goods.

    The institutional environment is concerned with rules, which can control the use of com-mon utilities. Two concepts are identified as pivotal: property rights regimes and decision-making procedures. There are four property rights regimes: Individual rights, group rights, public rights (limited and unlimited) and no rights. Furthermore there are three decision-making procedures: Market regulation, group decision-making and public decision-making. A fourth possibility is no decision making-forum.

    By linking together social groups and types of goods a matrix is obtained in which each square represents a unique combination of social and physical environment. In this analyti-cal framework it is analysed which combinations of property rights regimes and decision-making procedures that are best suited to each square.

    In the end, Swedish legislation on roads, water and sewerage installations and aesthetic design of buildings is analysed with aid of the analytical model.

    In Sweden considerable amounts of land suitable for housing is owned publicly, or more specifically, by any of the 290 municipalities. A significant proportion of the land necessary for the housing market is accordingly owned, controlled and consequently publicly supplied to a highly privatized developer sector that carries out the actual development. A pivotal task in the Swedish land markets, and a natural consequence of the initial separation between land and developer, concerns the disposal phase, i.e. the allocation procedures were land initially owned by a municipality gets assigned to a specific developer. In Sweden, distribution of municipal land aimed for housing is done by so-called ‘land allocations’. While numerous scientific articles implicitly acknowledging the occurrence of local authorities abroad supplying developers with land aimed for housing, the structure of this disposal procedure seems yet to be a rather neglected subject within current housing research. The objective of present article is therefore twofold, with a first aim to present contemporary disposal practice of municipal land aimed for housing, as it is applied in Sweden. More specifically, the assignment of land allocations – i.e. the developer selection – is examined based on an empirical investigation of practices in over 30 municipalities. Secondly, this article seeks to, while acknowledging the nature of a land allocation, critically assess and intermutually rank observed methods. In short, the present article initially distinguishes between two diverging ‘assigning approaches’ – a tender approach and a direct approach. This is followed by a subdivision into four distinct ‘assigning methods’ – auctions, competitions without price, competitions with price and direct allocations.

    Mark(ägande) och bostadsbyggande: En belysning av kommunala markens funktion 1900-20152016Other (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Mark har i alla tider utgjort en grundläggande förutsättning för bebyggelse och att så även kommer vara fallet för en lång tid framöver är odiskutabelt. För mer omfattande bebyggelse ska kunna ske idag krävs dock att marken är kopplad till såväl fysiska som juridiska och ekonomiska egenskaper. Saknas någon av dessa kommer marken normalt inte att bebyggas. Uppfylls samtliga egenskaper är det ändå inte heller säkert att marken bebyggs. Det krävs dessutom att marken har en ägare med intresse av att bebyggelsen faktiskt realiseras. Utöver marken i sig samt de fysiska, juridiska och ekonomiska egenskaperna är alltså markägandet av väsentlig betydelse. Förutom att ytterst avgöra om och när möjlig bebyggelse ska genomföras inbegriper ägandet av mark därtill potential att påverka lokalisering och utformning – d.v.s. i praktiken de juridiska och ekonomiska egenskaperna.

    Att fördelarna, eller snarare möjligheterna, med att äga mark sedan länge uppmärksammats från offentligt håll speglas bl.a. av det faktum att en stor del av dagens bebyggelse – i synnerhet avseende bostäder – går att härleda till kommunal mark. Det övergripande syftet med denna rapport är beskriva bakomliggande faktorer till denna koppling – eller analogt, framväxten av dagens förhållandevis omfattande kommunala markinnehav. Detta genom att belysa den kommunala markens funktion inom bebyggelseutvecklingen från 1900-talets början fram till idag.

    Framställningen bygger primärt på lagstiftning och finansiellt stöd som staten ställt till kommunernas förfogade för att leda bebyggelseutvecklingen och därtill stimulera ett planenligt genomförande. Till stora delar har de lagverktyg som utarbetats avsett begränsa privata markägares möjligheter att styra och påverka den – ur offentligt synvinkel – önskvärda bebyggelseutvecklingen. Det är således främst problem relaterade till mark i privat ägo som motiverat merparten av lagstiftningen. I föreliggande rapport diskuteras den kommunala markens funktion mot bakgrund av tre huvudsakliga problemområden:

    • Kontrollen över bebyggelsen – hur ska önskvärd bebyggelse säkerställas? 

    • Kontrollen över genomförandet av bebyggelsen – hur ska realisationen av önskvärd bebyggelse säkerställas? 

    • Kontrollen över markvärden och markvärdestegring – hur ska (negativa) effekter av höga markvärden och (oförtjänt) markvärdestegringar behandlas?

    Municipal land allocations: integrating planning and selection of developers while transferring public land for housing in Sweden2015In: Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, ISSN 1566-4910, E-ISSN 1573-7772, Vol. 31, no 2, p. 257-275Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    An essential component in all housing developments is suitable land. Besides being buildable, this implies land approved for housing in a marketable and consequently implementable location. Insufficient supply of suitable land to housing developers could affect the supply of housing. In Sweden, a lot of land appropriate for housing is owned—often since many years back—by municipalities and supplied to developers through the use of ‘land allocations’. A land allocation connects a developer and a municipality in a interdependency-based collaboration intended to jointly create an implementable development right, followed by a land transfer. Using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires reaching a total of 26 municipalities and 91 developers, the Swedish land allocation system is investigated; results are presented with emphasis on requirements put on developers, its interaction with the planning process and on the different methods used to select a certain developer. Additionally, the system is reviewed from a developer perspective and put in an international context. While many countries make use of public land for housing, the article shows that the Swedish land allocation system deviates in several aspects and in spite of its long history, there are undoubtedly features considered less well functioning from the developer’s point of view.

    Municipal Landownership and Housing in Sweden: Exploring links, supply and possibilities2016Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis comprises a number of studies, all directed at different linkages between municipal landownership and housing in Sweden. In all, the thesis consists of four papers. Of these, initial Paper I targets the emergence of the municipal landownership that still today are of crucial importance for the Swedish housing market. The main functions of the municipal landownership from the beginning of the 20th century and up until present time are retrospectively investigated and its role within Swedish housing during different times is elaborated upon. Paper II thereafter redirects focus to present time solely, and studies the management of the municipal land from particularly a housing perspective. More concretely, the disposal procedure – or land allocation practice – of the municipal land aimed for housing is investigated empirically, based on current practice in more than 25 municipalities. Paper III builds on preceding Paper II, but with a narrowed focus to a fundamental sequence of the disposal procedure – namely the developer selection. Accordingly, four different assigning methods, all derived from municipal practice, are discerned and their individual strengths and weaknesses are systematically discussed. Lastly, Paper IV attempts to illuminate an often overlooked dimension of the municipal landownership – as a potential and powerful instrument to counter polarizations between different social-groups, within the built environment. Necessary prerequisites in order to enable this are presented and an empirical study investigates whether this, somewhat concealed, potential in the municipal landownership seems to be utilized in practice.

    The impact of leasehold status on apartment price2019In: Journal of Housing Economics, ISSN 1051-1377, E-ISSN 1096-0791, Vol. 46, article id 101629Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Based upon cooperative apartments sold in Stockholm, Sweden during the period of 2012 to mid-2014, we find that leasehold status (meaning that the cooperative does not own the land that the apartment building occupies) has a small but statistically significant impact on price of 2.3% when controlling for location and apartment characteristics in a hedonic model. At the time of renegotiation (i.e. a lease duration of 0), leasehold depreciates price with 4.2%. We also apply propensity score matching, which results in slightly larger negative impact on the price being estimated. As current lease payments are covered by monthly fees that are to be paid to the cooperative, a negative effect on price should mostly be attributed to an increased uncertainty of future levels of monthly fees. We therefore extend the existing literature by examining the impact on price by the remaining leasehold term whilst still controlling for monthly fees. Consistent with our hypothesis, apartment prices are found to increase with 0.22% for each additional year that remains until renegotiation of the lease contract.

    Municipal land allocations: a key for understanding tenure and social mix patterns in Stockholm2018In: European Planning Studies, ISSN 0965-4313, E-ISSN 1469-5944, Vol. 26, no 8, p. 1663-1681Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A socially mixed population is a political ambition in Stockholm. By providing a mix of tenure alternatives throughout all neighbourhoods this objective could, at least partially, be fulfilled. Since current tenure proportions display a weak balance in many neighbourhoods it could be assumed that governing politicians - by primarily utilizing Stockholm's vast landownership and municipal housing developers - attempt to bridge observed gaps. Distribution of new rental and ownership apartments in municipal land allocations should acknowledge the existing tenure composition in a neighbourhood. Methodically this article focuses on all (nearly 50,000) apartments channelled through Stockholm's land allocation system between 2002 and 2012. After classification of all apartments based on tenure, location, year and developer (private or municipal) the information is merged with yearly housing stock characteristics for 128 neighbourhoods. The outcome is a unique data set allowing for statistical assessment of whether Stockholm's tenure (and in extension social) mix ambition is reflected in practice. The present article aims to highlight the crucial importance of landownership in Swedish municipalities with an aspiration to achieve or maintain a balanced tenure mix. While the findings indicate Stockholm is complying fairly well with its ambition, the results do reveal some contradicting signs.

    Municipal land allocations: a key for understanding tenure and social mix patterns in Stockholm2016Other (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    A socially mixed population is a politically stated ambition in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. By providing a variety of tenure alternatives – i.e. rental and ownership housing – throughout all neighborhoods it is presumed this objective could be at least partially fulfilled. Since current tenure proportions display a weak balance in many neighborhoods it could consequently be assumed that governing politicians – by primarily utilizing Stockholm’s vast landownership and municipal housing developers – attempt to bridge observed gaps. Distribution of new rental- and ownership apartments in municipal land allocations should accordingly acknowledge the existing tenure composition in a neighborhood. Methodically this article focuses on all (nearly 50 000) apartments channeled through Stockholm’s land allocation system between the years of 2002 to 2012. After classification of all apartments based on tenure, location, year and developer (private or municipal) this information is merged with yearly housing stock characteristics for 128 neighborhoods. The outcome is a unique data set allowing for a statistical assessment of whether Stockholm’s tenure (and in extension social) mix ambition is reflected in practice, and moreover the role played by the municipality’s own housing developers. The present article thereto aims to highlight the crucial importance of landownership in every Swedish municipality with an aspiration to achieve or maintain a balanced tenure mix. While the findings indicate Stockholm is complying fairly well with its stated ambition, the results do reveal some contradicting signs. Looking beyond the tenure mix focus it could moreover be questioned whether Stockholm fully utilizes its (landownership) capacity to stimulate a socially mixed population – especially one capturing more than solely socio-economical aspects.

    Public Land Development for Sustainability-Profiled Districts: A value co-creation perspective2022Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Swedish municipalities are developing sustainability-profiled districts incollaboration with private actors to achieve their public sustainability objectives.These districts are comparable to developments found in many other Europeancountries and the wider world. They are intended to model sustainable urbandevelopment and act as testbeds for collaborative innovation and urbanexperimentation. To initiate and govern the districts, Swedish municipalities areusing public land development, which provides them with more options to influencehousing development and increases their leverage during land use planning. It alsoforms exchange relationships between the municipalities and housing developers.Although previously acknowledged, there is a lack of research investigating thispractice in-depth. In the Swedish context, land ownership has a substantial influenceon the structure of the development process and collaboration betweenmunicipalities and housing developers, which are considered two key actors fordriving sustainable urban development. In sustainability-profiled districtdevelopments, these public and private actors collaborate during the municipal landallocation process, an important part of the public land development process, inorder to develop and implement new sustainable solutions and practices. Thiscollaboration during the land allocation process is investigated in the dissertation.

    The purpose of the dissertation is to increase the understanding of municipal landallocation processes in sustainability-profiled district developments by applying acollaborative perspective to public-private exchange. Municipal land allocations insustainability-profiled districts are first analysed and interpreted as public-privatevalue co-creation processes specifically intended to generate sustainable innovation.This is complemented with theories on conflict management, project relationships,and public value capture. The utility of using municipal land allocations for framingpublic-private collaborative innovation is then evaluated using value co-creationtheory. A single and multiple case study approach was employed to investigate indepthmunicipal land allocation processes in sustainability-profiled districts at thedistrict- and building project-level. Focusing on the perspectives of municipalitiesand housing developers, interviews and documents were used to reveal complexprocessual and relational dynamics mired in conflicting value creation objectives.The research is focused on sustainability-profiled district developments in Swedento gain an in-depth understanding of the intricacies and influences of this nationalcontext. The findings are then discussed in relation to public land developmentpractices in other European countries.

    The results reveal that the possibilities for municipalities to co-create public valueusing public land development are ultimately determined by housing developers’ ability to implement municipal sustainability requirements and co-create privateproject value. These municipal sustainability requirements are included in landallocation agreements and are negotiable throughout the rest of the land allocationprocess. Thus, the potential for public value creation is determined by the ability ofmunicipalities and developers to co-design sustainability requirements forimplementation during the land allocation process, in order to translate municipalsustainability requirements into developer procurement requirements. Areoccurring theme in the dissertation is that problems are rooted in inter-actor valueconflicts, which are central drivers for value co-creation processes betweenmunicipalities and housing developers.

    The dissertation contributes to public land development research by introducing apublic-private value co-creation framework to describe and explain collaborativeexchange and innovation between municipalities and developers. It also provides indepthknowledge of public land development, and more specifically municipal landallocation processes, in sustainability-profiled district developments, which differfrom more typical developments in regards to innovation ambitions. Finally, thedissertation contributes with a micro-level analysis of municipal land allocationprocesses, at the district- and project-level, in the Swedish context. Building on theanalysis and evaluation, recommendations for enhancing private project value andpublic value creation in sustainability-profiled districts are provided. Thedissertation ultimately illustrates how collaboration between public and privateactors aimed at achieving divergent and oftentimes conflicting sustainable urbandevelopment objectives is shaped by the specific planning processes and systemsthey are embedded in.

    Using Sustainability-Oriented Developer Obligations and Public Land Development to Create Public Value2022In: Sustainability, E-ISSN 2071-1050, Vol. 14, no 1, article id 57Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Swedish municipalities use negotiable developer obligations and public land development in sustainability-profiled districts to achieve various public sustainability objectives. They initiate and govern these districts, which act as models for sustainable urban development and testbeds for new sustainability-related policies, using municipally owned land. Public land development in Sweden enables municipalities to include sustainability-oriented negotiable developer obligations in development agreements. The aim of the study is to investigate how Swedish municipalities use sustainability-oriented negotiable developer obligations together with public land development, and to identify what public value outcomes they currently seek to create by using these public value capture instruments. Sustainability-oriented negotiable developer obligations are investigated in relation to municipalities’ desired public value outcomes in five sustainability-profiled district developments in different Swedish municipalities. Findings illustrate that Swedish municipalities use negotiable developer obligations to create ecological, social and cultural, political, and economic public value outcomes. This calls for more research investigating different forms of value and value creation in relation to public value capture instruments.

    Enhancing Public Value in Public Land Development through Co-Creation: The role of municipalities in sustainable districtsManuscript (preprint) (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Municipalities in Sweden use public land development in sustainability-profiled districts to engage public and private actors in sustainable innovation to create public value. This points to a wider scope of potential and current utility for public land development than previously theorised. The aim of this paper is to investigate municipalities’ use of public land development in sustainability-profiled districts from a public value co-creation perspective, and provide suggestions for enhancing public value. Findings are based on a multiple case study of five sustainability-profiled districts located in different municipalities in Sweden. We illustrate how municipalities co-design public value creation objectives with different public and private actors, which are then translated into criteria for choosing developers to allocate land to and project-specific requirements for housing development. When co-designing public value creation objectives and subsequent requirements, the main role of the municipality is to form arenas where relevant actors can collaboratively find creative solutions to emerging problems, such as value conflicts. Findings align with previous research on public value co-creation in other contexts, demonstrating an appropriate application of the theory and potential for further theoretical development across research fields.

    Municipalities in Sweden use public land development to engage public and private actors in collaborative urban experimentation and innovation to create public value. This points to a wider scope of potential and current utility for public land development than previously theorised. The aim of this paper is to investigate municipalities’ use of public land development to enable and structure public value co-creation, and to provide suggestions for enhancing public value. Findings are based on a multiple case study of five flagship urban development projects located in different municipalities in Sweden. We illustrate how municipalities co-design public value propositions with different public and private actors, which aretranslated into criteria for choosing developers to allocate land to and project-specific requirements for housing development. When co-designing public value propositions and subsequent requirements, the main role of the municipality is to form arenas where relevant actors can collaboratively find creative solutions to emerging problems rooted in value conflicts.

    Housing developers’ perceived barriers to implementing municipal sustainability requirements in Swedish sustainability-profiled districts2021In: Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, ISSN 1566-4910, E-ISSN 1573-7772Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Swedish municipalities are taking an active role in shaping and implementing sustainability-related policies in urban development by initiating and governing sustainability-profiled district developments on municipally owned land. To drive sustainable development and innovation in these districts and develop future policies, municipalities use land allocation agreements to set project-specific sustainability requirements on housing development projects that go beyond the current national building regulations. Developers play a key role in implementing these municipal sustainability requirements. The purpose of this paper is to explore housing developers’ perceived barriers to implementing municipal sustainability requirements in their projects, which ultimately constrain possibilities for municipalities to drive sustainable development. Findings are based on case studies of two sustainability-profiled district developments in different Swedish municipalities. Main barriers perceived by the developers could be categorized into: (1) increased costs when adapting to unforeseen changes that constrain project budgets and (2) conflicting interests and objectives between interdependent actors. These barriers are contextualised within the relationship between the developers and municipalities. Contributions are made to literature on developers’ roles and perspectives in sustainability-oriented urban development. We illustrate how conflicting short-term and long-term interests between developers and municipalities complicate and impede problem solving in housing development projects. This calls for more research on these actors’ interests, and how they align and conflict in these types of projects. Findings also illustrate how developers resolve issues through interactions with municipalities, indicating collaborative problem solving processes to investigate further.

    Co-ownership shares in condominium: a comparison across jurisdictions and standards2018In: Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on 3D Cadastres / [ed] Peter van Oosterom and Dirk Dubbeling, Copenhagen: International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) , 2018, p. 217-242Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Condominium is one of the prevalent forms of three- dimensional (3D) property rights (Paulsson, 2007, p. 32). The condominium concept common to a number of jurisdictions consists of three elements: (a) individual ownership of an apartment, (b) co-ownership (joint ownership) of the land and the common parts of the building, and (c) membership of an incorporated or unincorporated owners' association (van der Merwe, 2015, p. 5). The ownership shares of condominium unit owners in the common property are here referred to as co-ownership shares; yet, alternative terms include ownership fraction, condominium share, participation quota, share value, and unit entitlement. The co-ownership share determines the proportional contribution to the common expenses and the share of common profits, as well as the voting power of each condominium unit owner in the administration of the condominium. The most common approaches to the determination of the co-ownership shares are based on equality, relative size or relative value of each condominium unit, or a combination of such (van der Merwe, 1994, p. 57-58). The literature presents detailed descriptions and comparative analysis related to condominium systems in different jurisdictions (e.g. van der Merwe, 2016; 2015; Paulsson, 2007; EUI, 2005; UNECE, 2005); however, the technical and procedural aspects related to the allotment of co-ownership shares still need to be further investigated. This paper aims to compare methods and procedures applied for the allotment of co-ownership shares of condominium systems in the following seven jurisdictions; Denmark, Germany, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Turkey. Also, international geographic information standards are analyzed to assess the extent to which they facilitate allocation of co-ownership shares. The main purpose is to clarify the legal provisions and methodologies related to the determination of co-ownership shares in national condominium systems and bring new insights to countries, which are trying to revise their national provisions for fairer implementations.

    Fastighetsskyddet i fastighetsbildningslagen 5 kap. 8 §: Fyller det någon funktion i dagens samhälle?2023Other (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Studien omfattar en analys av innebörd och funktion hos det s.k. fastighets­skyddet i fastighetsbildningslagen 5 kap. 8 §. Syftet är att undersöka villkorets relevans idag med hänsyn till den samhälls- och rättsutveckling som skett sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Analysen visar att de motiv och argument som låg bakom fastighetsskyddets införande inte längre är av betydelse. Detta följer bl.a. av en radikalt förändrad jordbrukspolitik, förändrade företags­strukturer inom jordbruket, samt genomslaget av den s.k. proportionalitetsprincipen i svensk fastighetsrätt. Vid en ev. översyn av fastighetsbildningslagen föreslås därför fastighets­skyddet i sin nuvarande utformning istället ersättas av ett väsentlighetsvillkor, vilket skulle formalisera och tydliggöra kopplingen till den i rättspraxis gällande proportionalitetsprincipen.

    Modelling Real Property Rights: A brief review and some extensions2020In: Methods and Concepts of Land Management: Diversity, Changes and New Approaches / [ed] Erwin Hepperle, Jenny Paulsson, Vida Maliene, Reinfried Mansberger, Armands Auzins, Jolanta Valciukiene, European Academy of Land Use and Development , 2020, p. 169-186Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Over time, different models for representing legal features of real property rights have been developed as analytical tools. The purpose of this paper is to review and evaluate some of the existing models, and to develop certain extensions for representations and analyses of dynamic real property rights transformations. The Core Entities Model – which emphasizes relationships between subject (person), right, and object (land) – proves to be significant for analysing transformations of owner/right holder and territorial division, but has shortcomings in representing transformations of the rights’ content and extent, e.g. the granting of a building permit. By combining the static Core Entities Model with features from dynamic models, these difficulties can be overcome to some degree.
