När slutar enskild väg? : Samhällsutvecklingens konsekvenser för samfälligheten som förvaltningsform

Sammanfattning: In Sweden, there are both public roads and civic roads. The civic roads are managed by the people who utilize them. These roads go most through forests and farmlands but also in urban detached areas and are supposed to have a lower cost than with governmental management. Previous regulation has put out the reinvestment in the civic roads in urban areas and left them in a bad shape. I have studied an attempt to reinstall the civic road management system for such urban areas in Leksand. Based on the theory of public goods and common pool resources, I have made a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) to see if the civic road management system will be effective in the long run compared to municipality management. I found that if it works, the civic road management system is the most effective due to the marginal excess tax burden that harms the municipality management. However, the civic road management system gives great responsibility and administration to a few people and might not work well in the long run. Instead I suggest a user-fee financing of the municipality management which is not affected by the marginal excess tax burden.
