6. Bidding Farewell to the Ancient City of Ashur: A Qualitative Case Study of the Social and Cultural Impacts of the Makhoul Dam in Iraq
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : This qualitative case study explores through semi-structured Interviews the social and cultural impacts of the Makhoul Dam, planned as part of Iraq’s climate change mitigation work. It was based on the research question: How do local individuals experience the Makhoul Dam’s impact on their home environments including the surrounding archaeological sites? And supported by the two operational questions: How are individuals in the dam-affected areas wellbeing and identity interlinked to their native areas including the surrounding archaeological sites? and How does the Makhoul Dam including its decision making process affect individuals in the dam-affected areas’ wellbeing and identity? By using Albrecht's theory of solastalgia, the theory of place attachment, where a broader definition of the theory was applied and community participation theory, eight sub-themes were identified under three main themes; “Our Area”, Who’s decision? and Wellbeing and identity.

8. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. LÄS MER
9. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. LÄS MER
10. Trees as heat stress mitigators. The frequency of heat and cold stress in a redevelopment area in Borås, Sweden
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : As future climate is predicted to generate higher temperatures as well as more frequent extreme weather scenarios, it is essential to plan to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an attempt to mitigate one effect of climate change, this master’s thesis examines both the heat and cold stress at the area Pulsen in Borås Stad, both as the conditions are today, and after the implementation of a new detail plan.
