Abstract:

Changes in demogaphics, employment and shopping habits, triggered by urbanisation and increasing mobility are important factors influencing Swedish countryside. Answering the changing conditions is especially important in the northermost counties, with very low population density and large distances between settlements. Within the peripheries of V.sterbotten the availability of basic social and commercial services is decreasing, as the economic viability of such businesses is too low and the former commercial model became unsustainable. Most of the service functions are associated to local gro

Abstract:

This study seeks to uncover the opportunities and challenges in building the foundations for sustainable community development at the local level, by enhancing the capacity of a community organisation. Challenging the traditional needs-based focus of community development, the research builds from the work of Kretzmann and McKnight by applying an asset-based approach to both community development and capacity building of community organisations. This study thus shifts the focus of community development away from its traditional application on

Abstract:

In the last decade, community multimedia centres (centres integrating computers with other technologies such as community radio) have been established in developing countries by governments, development organisations and NGOs. It is often argued that these need greater "community participation" in order to be locally relevant and sustainable. Yet, this research argues there is insufficient discussion on what constitutes community, and how processes of participation occur in these initiatives. The key research questions of this thesis ask: what is meant by community participation here? What is

Abstract:

While access to essential medicines has become recognised as a human right, problems concerning the inappropriate use of medicines have emerged. Medicines lose their therapeutic value and can impair both individual health and public health if inappropriately used. Inappropriate use of medicines diminishes the quality of healthcare and causes resources to be wasted, which is especially serious in under-resourced countries. To improve the use of medicines, the introduction of standard treatment guidelines (STGs) is suggested as a potential strategy. The aim of this DrPH thesis is to study the us
