Hur tar kommuner hänsyn till miljökvalitetsmålet begränsad klimatpåverkan vid gatu- och trafikplanering? - En studie om Lunds och Malmös kommun
Sammanfattning: Swedish environmental politics is held together by an environmental objectives system consisting of one generational goal, 16 environmental quality objectives and 24 milestone targets. In order to achieve these objectives municipalities are considered to play an important role. The purpose of this study is to examine how municipalities can take reduced climate impact into account when they deal with road planning. Furthermore, the purpose is to describe what role municipalities play in the Swedish environmental objectives system. This study focuses on Lund and Malmö. The issues examined are: What is the role of municipalities in the work of reaching the environmental quality objective reduces climate impact, when they are dealing with road planning? How can municipalities take reduced climate impact into account when they deal with road planning? To answer these questions both literature reviews and interviews have been made. Legislation related to city planning and road planning have been studied to sort out how far the decision making competence of municipalities goes. Strategic document and plans from Lund and Malmö were observed in order to see how they chosen to coordinate reduced climate impact with their work concerning road planning. Interviews have also been made with officials from the traffic department of both Lund and Malmö to clarify in what way they are involved with the environmental objectives. This study shows that municipalities are important players in the effort of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the traffic. In order to do this successfully Lund and Malmö mainly has three instruments available: physical planning, traffic regulation and an active work with behavioral change. However, municipalities are free to choose to what extent they want to contribute to the environmental objectives and it is therefore up to each municipality to set up their own objectives. In the current situation, problems arise when municipalities that have different ambitions needs to cooperate concerning these questions.
