Get PDFSpatial aggregation error and agglomeration benefits from transport improvements
Get PDFAggregating data to other spatial resolutions can result in spatial aggregation errors, which can affect the data and subsequent analyses. This paper investigates the nature of spatial aggregation errors in the calculation of agglomeration benefits. The finding shows that inappropriate aggregation can result in significant errors in the monetised benefits used in transport appraisals. The error is analysed using both a stylised model and four case studies. Using arithmetic employment-weighted averages for transport costs when calculating the access to economic mass (ATEM) of the aggregated zones resulted in an error of +/-70%. An arithmetic trip-weighted average reduces errors. The error is further reduced using a harmonic employment-weighted average in the ATEM calculation, but it is not eliminated. The remaining error stems from the altered structure of the data stemming from the aggregation process, which is called the modifiable area unit problem (MAUP). Our findings, which concur with the broader MAUP literature, indicate that this error is unavoidable. Our policy recommendation is to calculate the agglomeration benefits as disaggregated as possible, but if aggregation is necessary, use the harmonic employment-weighted average for transport costs.

Interprofessional collaboration in reintegration after prison for prisoners with substance abuse issues : a scoping review
Get PDFReintegration after prison for prisoners with interlinked welfare needs has been one of the most challenging issues for decades in the criminal justice system. The WHO and the UN highlight the demand for well-functioning collaboration between professionals and welfare agencies handling these challenges. However, interprofessional collaboration has been an underdeveloped field of research and theory, especially concerning prisoners with substance abuse issues. The present study undertakes a scoping review of research on interprofessional collaboration in reintegration after prison for prisoners with substance abuse issues, particularly identifying factors that influence collaboration. Nineteen included studies from the USA, the U.K., Australia, and Norway show that relational and structural factors influence collaboration and that innovative projects are perceived as improving collaboration. A tentative conceptual model of factors that influence collaboration is presented and may serve as a basis for reflection and further development of a theoretical framework within the field of research.

On-demand logistics : solutions, barriers, and enablers
Get PDFThe urban freight sector provides an essential service by delivering goods that are required by shops, companies, and households at a specific place and time. However, the growth of e-commerce and the dawn of on-demand logistics (hereinafter ODL) have raised citizens’ expectations of logistics systems, further stressing them and thereby increasing their operational and environmental costs. To the authors’ best knowledge, there are no extensive literature reviews specifically on the topic of ODL and on suggestions for policy prioritisation for tackling its effects. This paper aims at addressing this issue by providing an extensive literature review of ODL and its enablers. This research, after a thorough explanation of the ODL rationale, its trends, and its effects, analyses possible solutions to its inefficiencies, focusing on enablers and barriers. Furthermore, it illustrates and clarifies the role of external factors in influencing ODL. Finally, it proposes a systematic evaluation approach by identifying knowledge gaps and consequently defining the subsequent actions needed, broken down by the individual influencing components, rendering these solutions compatible with the status quo and effective for solving the highlighted issues.

Å treffe en bevegelig blink : om bærekraftig skogforvaltning i 100 år
Get PDFFormålet er å vise hvordan oppfatninga av begrepet bærekraft har utviklet seg i norsk skogforvaltning de siste 100 år. I lang tid etter den første lands-skogtakseringa i 1919 var profesjonell skogforvaltning i Norge konsentrert om åsørge for at forrådet av tømmertrær i skogen økte etter en tid med overavvirkning istore deler av landet. Bærekraft ble ensbetydende med at uttaket av tømmer ikkeskulle overstige tilveksten i det lange løp. Mye av arbeidet dreide seg om å sikregjenvekst og å erstatte gamle glisne bestand med tett tømmerskog. På Vestlandetble skogreising også en vesentlig del av dette arbeidet.Nå har vi mer tømmer i norske skoger enn vi trenger for å dekke etterspørselen.Avvirkninga har vært betydelig mindre enn tilveksten i over 50 år. Gamle skogforval-tere vil si at norsk skogbruk har overoppfylt målet om bærekraft. Moderne skogfor-valtere vet at universitetsutdannede biologer sammen med miljøbevegelsen ogurbane konsumenter stiller helt andre krav til skogforvaltninga i dag enn hva mangjorde for 50 år siden, definisjonen av bærekraftig skogbruk er mye mer kompleksnå enn da redselen for mangel på trevirke bredte seg for 100 år siden. Vi diskuterer hvilke samfunnsendringer som har påvirket denne forskyvninga avmålsetting – og om det pågår lignende diskusjoner om bærekraftens innhold også iandre deler av økonomien.
