“An equally good replacement” means that the new areas that are provided in compensation must meet the requirements laid down in Items 5a and b.
«Fullverdig erstatning» betyr at de nye arealene som gis som kompensasjon, skal fylle kravene i punkt 5a og b.
Item 5d applies to all types of re-allocation, i.e. both development and changes to the local development plan.
Punkt 5d forutsettes å gjelde alle slags omdisponeringer, dvs. både utbygging og omregulering.
It also applies regardless of whether the change takes the form of an important or a less important change to the local development plan, or a dispensation from the current development plan.
De gjelder også uavhengig av om endringene skjer som vesentlig eller mindre vesentlig reguleringsendring, eller som dispensasjon fra gjeldende regulering.
It is important to emphasise this.
Det er viktig å presisere dette.
The danger of the interests of children and young people being disregarded is particularly great in dispensation cases and in the case of less important changes to the local development plan.
Faren for at barns og unges interesser skal tilsidesettes er nemlig særlig stor i dispensasjonssaker og ved mindre vesentlige reguleringsendringer.
In such cases, the procedures for publication and cooperation with other bodies are not the same as for ordinary plans.
I disse saker følger en ikke samme prosedyre mht. offentlighet og samarbeid med andre etater som ved vanlige planer.
Nor are there any clear rules as to what may be regarded as a less important change from the point of view of children and young people.
Det finnes heller ikke klare regler for hva som kan betraktes som en mindre vesentlig endring ut fra hensynet til barn og unge.
In the experience of the Ombudsman for Children, the degredation or reduction of play areas often takes place through dispensations or “less important changes” to local development plans.
Barneombudets erfaringer viser at forringelse eller reduksjon av lekearealer ofte skjer gjennom dispensasjon eller såkalt mindre vesentlig reguleringsendring.
The guidelines are based on the actual use or usefulness of the area for play and recreation and not on the formal or regulatory factors that apply to the area.
Retningslinjene tar utgangspunkt i faktisk bruk av arealet eller arealets nytteverdi for lek og opphold, og ikke i de formelle eller reguleringsmessige forhold som gjelder for arealer.
It is the use or usefulness of the area that is relevant for children and young people, not what the area is actually zoned for, or whether it is zoned or not, or who owns it.
Det er bruks- eller nytteverdien som er relevant for barn og unge og ikke hva arealet faktisk er regulert til, om det er regulert eller uregulert og hvem som eier det.
In cases of conflict, there will often be differing views about whether areas are actually used or not.
I konfliktsaker vil det gjerne være forskjellig syn på om arealer faktisk er i bruk eller ikke.
The Ombudsman for Children has had cases where children and young people maintain that they use a play area that is in danger of being zoned for other purposes, while the people responsible for zoning maintain that the area is not used by children and young people at all.
Barneombudet har hatt saker der barn og unge hevder at de bruker et lekeareale som står i fare for å bli regulert til annet formål, mens de som er ansvarlige for reguleringen hevder at arealet overhodet ikke brukes av barn og unge.
Consequently, in these types of cases it is especially important to involve children and young people in the planning process (cf. Item 4d).
I denne type saker er det derfor spesielt viktig å trekke barn og unge selv inn i planleggingen (jf. punkt 4d).
The formulation concerning “the needs of the future” refers to problems associated with the fact that the number of children in a particular area varies over time.
Formuleringen om «fremtidens behov» viser til problemet med at antall barn i et område varierer over tid.
We cannot, therefore, only consider the children living in a particular area at a particular time but must also meet the needs of future generations of children.
En kan derfor ikke bare ta hensyn til de barn som til enhver tid bor i et område, men må også sikre fremtidige barnegenerasjoners behov.
Proposals for the re-allocation of play areas are more frequently approved in periods when the number of children in an area is low.
Forslag til omdisponering av lekeareal kommer lettere fram i perioder med lavt antall barn i et område.
Item 6 makes it possible to undertake necessary adjustments to the guidelines following legislative amendments, etc., without this having to be done by the Government in Council of State.
Punkt 6 gjør det mulig å foreta nødvendige tilpasninger i retningslinjene som følge av lovendringer e.l., uten at dette behøver å gjøres av regjeringen i statsråd.

All children must have the opportunity to go to school, including those who are most vulnerable.
Alle barn må få gå på skole, også de mest sårbare barna.
The situation in Haiti today shows how important schools are in times of crisis.
Situasjonen der i dag viser hvor viktig skole er i krisesituasjoner.
When things are difficult for children, schools are much more than places of learning.
Når barn har det vanskelig, er skolene mye mer enn et sted for læring.
“After a disaster like the earthquake, schools can often be a safe haven for children.
– Etter en katastrofe blir skolene ofte en trygg havn for barn.
Here they can find protection, support, and not least health care and food.
Der får de beskyttelse, støtte, og ikke minst helsehjelp og mat.
It is crucial for development in Haiti that children get a good education,” said Mr Solheim.
Det er helt avgjørende for utviklingen i Haiti at barna får en god utdanning, sier Solheim.
For many years, Norway has played a leading role in UNICEF’s efforts to develop more and better schools in poor countries.
Norge har i mange år spilt en ledende rolle i Unicefs arbeid for å få flere og bedre skoler i fattige land.
Universal primary education is the one of the eight UN Millennium Development Goals in relation to which most progress has been made.
Utdanning er også det av FNs åtte tusenårsmål som har kommet lengst.
Having said this, it is vital to ensure that more girls go to school in order to achieve the other seven goals.
Samtidig er det viktig å få flere jenter på skolebenken for å nå de andre sju målene.
It has also been shown that they are less vulnerable to violence,” emphasised Mr Solheim.
Det viser seg også at de er mindre utsatt for vold, sier miljø- og utviklingsministeren.

In many areas where the international community becomes involved, the State is often weak, local communities have few resources of their own, and disaster preparedness – while perceived as very important – has to compete with many other, more immediate priorities.

Actions to reduce vulnerability to disasters and planning for climate change need to take into account both short-term needs, for example in connection with seasonal cyclone and recurrent earthquakes, and longer-term factors, such as the need to rethink land management.
