title: SAMFUNN: Regulations, markets and consumer self-regulation in global sustainable development. A comparison of three European countries, 2011

description: This project deals with the interrelationships between production and consumption, which in global supply chains represent a significant challenge in policies for environmental sustainability. The project focuses on the ways in which consumption can be regulated in order to become more sustainable. This includes strong measures of state intervention as well as softer, more indirect and voluntary forms of regulation. In particular, the project aims to get a better understanding of how consumer self-regulation develops within global/national systems of provision, consumer cultures, and regulatory initiatives. A comparative approach was employed in order to identify basic political, market and cultural conditions and path-dependencies. Two items, beef and cotton, were selected, both with significant and complex environmental impacts. Moreover the project compares how the environmental impacts of these items are handled in three countries with different regulatory traditions, provisioning systems, and consumer cultures; Norway, the UK and France. The comparative analyses are obtained by linking up with ongoing research in France and the UK. Collaboration is also established with India and the US for studying the regulation of global supply chains.

title: Information and Interpretation of the Retirement Pension Reform - A Matter of Securing the Legal Protection of Citizens, 2013

description: The project investigates:
1) The quality, availability and utility of information. What citizens know about the new retirement pension. Is the publicly available information on the pension reform relevant and understandable for the citizens, and are citizens in different age groups able to anticipate the consequences of retirement decisions based on the available sources of information? Data source: Survey data by a representative sample of citizens from YS Barometer of Working Life. 

2) The objectives of web pension portals of NAV and are ther accessability. Do the web portals meet the requirements of citizens. Data source: Interviews of personnel in NAV, SPK etc. Tests of the portals by a representative sample of citizens from YS Barometer of Working Life.The test will be followed up by focus group evaluations.

3) Interpretation and guidance. Officials in the NAV-system, SPK, SPT and KLP are assigned to interpret the legislation and decode the rules and regulations of the pension law to the citizens: Are the public servant interpreters (the pension advisors) enabled to give sound and legally correct advice to all groups of the citizens? Data sources: Documents and reports on NAV, interviews with pension advisors. 

4) The rule of law. The ability of the citizens to act upon the new legislation is an important aspect of the citizens legal protection. Is the complexity of the system a legal challenge according to basic elements of the rule of law, such as clarity, accessibility, predictability? Sources: Policy documents, law documents, brochures, analyses of interviews with  interpretors/advisors made in WP 3.

title: Consumer Expenditure Survey, 2012

description: Statistics Norway have used periodical consumption surveys as a basis for establishing and updating the weighting foundation for the reality price index. Detailed accounts of the consumption in private households have also established an important basis for the level of living statistics and for research on income, level of living and for example effects of the taxing system usage of direct and indirect taxes. The material is also so detailed that it constitutes an interesting groundwork for nutrition analyses. The data can also be applied in demand studies, in economical planning models or for specification of private consumption in the national financial statement. In 1974 SSB converted to a system with annual surveys with somewhat smaller samples. From 1974-1976 data was published for 3 years at the time, and the annual gross samples of about 1500 households, net sample of 1100-1200 households. The aim was still to build a detailed overview of the consumption in private households, that constitutes a groundwork for updating the weighting basis in the reality price index. Another aim was to map out consumption in various types of households. The households are classified in accordance with such marks as household type, income, main income earners working status and age, neighborhood, size of total consumption spending, etc. The data are organized in several sections and contains background information about the household (gathered through an introductory interview that maps out the household composition), detailed consumption measured in value and amounts (registered by journal notation, for the household and the individual members of the household), the households purchase of durable consumer goods (lasting capital objects, gathered through a comprehensive finishing interview), consumption of self-produced goods, income and taxes.

title: ACTOR: Arctic Climate Change, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation, 2009

description: This research project studies how climate change may affect tourism and outdoor recreation in Northern Norway and Svalbard, and assess the implications of these changes. Northern Norway and Svalbard are experiencing rapid changes in the climate and these changes have environmental, societal, and economic consequences. Hence, climate change will most likely have considerable impact on the regions' tourists and tourism industry. The project includes identification and assessment of links and dependencies between climate parameters, tourists, and tourism as an economic and governmental sector. Moreover, the project includes projections of changes in climate elements of particular relevance to tourism in Northern Norway and Svalbard up to 2050; assessment of changes in tourist interests and activities based on projected climate change; assessment of the vulnerability of the regions' tourism industry to climate change impacts and climate-related events; and assess the adaptive capacity and adaptation strategies for the tourism industry. The project uses various types of available data and combines expertise from a number of disciplines. It is also organised as a partnership between institutions already formally linked through the establishment of the Oslo Centre for Interdisciplinary Environmental and Social Research (CIENS).

title: The Impact of Everyday Mobility for Elderly People's Welfare and Well-being, 2011

description: Previous research has shown that mobility and the ability to leave the home are among the essential aspects of the quality of life of elderly people. Despite a general consensus that there is a relationship between mobility and well-being of older people, the research evidence is scattered and scarce. The increased ageing of the population will be important also related to daily mobility and the transport system. Most of the Norwegian population over 65 years will have a driving licence in 2030. Improved health conditions among many elderly and increased access to cars make a basis for more varied activities and extended travelling than previous elderly groups. However, a large proportion of the new generation of elderly will belong to those 80 years of age and older, who today has problems related to travelling. A majority of them will be women. This proposal responds to a deficiency of empirically based research on mobility and the impact on elderly people's well-being and welfare. We will (i) examine the development of daily travel and mobility in different groups of elderly people, ( ii )study the relation between mobility and well-being/welfare for elderly people in different contexts and ( iii ) examine and evaluate measures to improve the independency of mobility and transport among elderly persons.

title: The area told as a story. An inquiry into the relationship between verbal and map-based expressions of geographical information, 2012

description: In modern European societies, maps are seen as the natural way to communicate about geography. This is different in other historical periods. In some historical periods  maps are not used very much, although they are known. In my opinion, this lack of use is not based on a lack of cartographic tools or knowledge only. I think there are other reasons why people choose to use verbal texts to communicate about geography, reasons that may be difficult to see for people living in a modern map based society. In the proposed PhD project, I will look for such reasons by trying to find examples of verbal texts being superior to maps. A map is best defined as a kind of document that represents spatial relations of objects in the world; it is one of several tools or methods people can use to find their way. Verbal text are description of for example a lake, river, mountain etc.

The source material for the project will be a document from the 18th century: Major Schnitler's border examination protocols. The digitally available, TEI encoded textual version of this material will be used as the source for a database. This database will represent a model of the
geographical information I read from the text. This model will be a version of the geographical information in the source text, expressed in a formal language. The model will also store contradictory facts if and when they exist. Possible contradiction can be found using rules of calculation that will be developed on top of the model. The model will be used to investigate my hypothesis by trying to express the information in the model as maps. Based on the results of this research, I will discuss the possible existence of geographical structures and features found in the model that can not be expressed on maps without significant loss of meaning. This way, I hope to gain new knowledge about how people express themselves in verbal texts about geography, as opposed to map based expressions. In the longer term, I hope this will help us understanding more about the reasons why some cultures are very map oriented, whereas others know about maps, but only use them in very limited areas.

title: DIGIOB Data - The role of digital objects in children's social and language education in kindergartens, 2009

description: There is great interest in adopting digital tools in the nursery, and ICT is formally introduced towards the nursery, among other things, through various formulations in the curriculum for kindergarten content and tasks. This is despite the fact that there is little Norwegian research in this area. 

The study covers two main thematic areas: 
Theme 1: Digital play, language and interaction. In this context it is interesting and relevant to examine how ICT objects, like digital games, are used in the nursery. 
Theme 2: Roles and inclusion of child-child and child-adult interaction in which digital multimedia technology are part of the interaction. Here we wish to develop nuanced knowledge of how children benefit from digital technology in contemporary Norwegian kindergartens.

Survey data at the national level and qualitative interview data from regions of Hordaland and Rogaland has been collected in the study. 
Survey data will be made available for further research through NSD.
