Abstract:
Improving the availability of secure energy supplies for the poorest rural communities is central to development efforts. World-wide, climate change concerns have led to growing interest in renewable sources, including modern forms of bioenergy. Drivers behind its adoption are diverse, location and scale dependent, and result in multi-level trade-offs. Although impacts are context-specific, bioenergy production and use have a wider impact on issues including deforestation, biodiversity loss, water shortages and food price increases. At local levels reports of labour exploitation, loss of local

The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyse socio-economic changes in northern Sweden. Focus is on the period 1985-2000. Population development, restructuring of economic activities, political and cultural changes are related to a theoretical discussion on the transformation of sparsely populated areas as an outcome of multi-dimensional and interrelated processes. Besides an introductory and concluding section, the thesis contains four papers. The first paper deals with forestry's changed role in the local economy of four municipalities located in the inland areas of upper Norrland. The c

Abstract:
Gallatin County has experienced dramatic population growth over the past decade. The Sonoran Institute has been developing land use planning tools to help address the issues arising from this high growth. One of the most serious impacts of high population growth is increased vehicle traffic, typically measured through vehicle miles traveled. The Sonoran Institute's land use planning tools were used to develop two future growth scenarios, one representing growth following current trends and the other representing a higher population density and higher employment/residential mix of development.

In this vein, rural tourism is highly consumed by people searching for these unique and memorable experiences, but the knowledge on tourists’ experiences in a rural setting are very limited.
