Community-Based Organisations’ Role in Refugee Integration : A Case Study in Kristiansand, Norway
2018
Master's thesis Global development and planning UT505 - University of Agder 2018 Refugees is one of the major concentration of the world without considering the borders or economic level of the country. Recently, Europe also has received large number of refugees. Norway has also received many refugees from conflict zones recently. When refugees arrive to the host country it is the country responsibility to start and conduct the refugee integration process. Norway has its own refugee integration plan, and municipalities are given more responsibilities in refugee integration process. I have selected the Kristiansand municipality as my research area which is one of the municipalities in Norway…
Exploring the role of CBOs in the social integration of refugees : Case study in Kristiansand, Norway
2017
Master's thesis Global development and planning UT505 - University of Agder 2017 The arrival of refugees to European countries have increased with the conflicts around the world.

Norway has a refugee integration plan and most of the responsibilities of the integration has been given to …
#Makeadifference : A thesis exploring motivations and purpose for social media use within Norwegian Citizen Initiatives for Global Solidarity
2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) This thesis explores motivations and purpose for social media use within nine Norwegian Citizen Initiatives for Global Solidarity (CIGS). There is little research about these small development actors in Norway and especially regarding how social media is used. Their contribution to the international development scheme is often not recognized, but it is believed that their influence is substantial. As many others, the initiatives use social media to document and inform about their projects and interventions. Considering we are in the midst of a pandemic; this study has also taken a further look at how COVID-19 has affected the CIGS a…
Towards a legal standard? Human rights in Norwegian businesses : A case study on how cooperation between non-governmental organizations and business …
2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) In 2011, the United Nations endorsed the UNGP principles developed by Harvard professor John Ruggie. The “protect, respect and remedy” framework has become an international standard for business conduct considering human rights. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for human rights violations to happen in relation to global production. For many years, civil society organizations in Norway have campaigned for legislation to be implemented, where the Norwegian government has responded that voluntary business practice is more effective. Since 2018, Etikkinformasjonsutvalget has investigated if there a need for a human rights law in Norweg…
Investigation of state-society synergy in the development management of the Apo Island Marine Reserve
2017
Master's thesis Global development and planning UT505 - University of Agder 2017 Apo, a tiny island nestled at the Sulu sea of the Philippines, is world-renown to have one of the best community-managed marine protected area in the whole world. It is often used as an example by organizations such as Greenpeace to exemplify best practices of marine conservation through bottom-up approaches that enabled socioeconomic improvements of the community. As its success grew, especially through tourism, the management of the marine reserve was handed over to the national government under the National Integrated Protected Area Systems (NIPAS) act. An initial study done by Hind, Hiponia and Grey in 2010…

Klimaomstilling: et møte mellom diskurs og planlegging
2018
Masteroppgave global utvikling og samfunnsplanlegging UT505 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 I denne masteroppgaven skal jeg se på hva som er formålet med klimastrategier i Vestfold fylkeskommune, hvordan de har blitt utformet og hvordan de har utarbeidet et konkret prosjekt. Kyotyavtalen, Parisavtalen og nasjonale føringer for arbeidet med klima vil bli sett på for å sette en bakgrunn for arbeidet med klima. Jeg har sett på klimastrategier og prosjektet med bakgrunn i intervjuer jeg har gjennomført og setter dette opp mot Dryzek (2013) sine miljødiskurser. Jeg kommer til å argumentere for at diskursen som er gjeldene blant mine informanter er innenfor industrialismens rammer. Horten videregåen…

2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) In the 2020, the ‘World Learning Summit (WLS)’ addressed the challenges for higher education posed by the COVID 19 pandemic.

This article represented the cross-sectional analysis of UiA’s transformation during the pandemic, through virtual interviews within prominent departments of UIA. The scope of the study is to understand the digital transformation of higher education within Norway, through understanding the factors affe…
Bærekraftig forvaltning av landbruksareal
2017
Masteroppgave global utvikling og samfunnsplanlegging UT505 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Befolkningsvekst i Norge skaper et økt behov for bolig og næringsutbygging rundt tettsteder og byer. Omkring disse tettstedene og byene ligger det produktivt landbruksareal. Dette arealet er viktig å ivareta for Norges selvforsyningsgrad av mat, i tillegg til at det kun er 3 prosent av det totale arealet som er dyrka mark i dag (Miljøverndepartementet, 2011). Dermed er dette en verdifull ressurs som kommer i konflikt med utbygging av sentrumsområder. Det stilles nasjonale forventninger til jordvern som kommunene må ta hensyn til, for å sikre en helhetlig utvikling i Norge som trekker i samme retning. Li…

2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) This master's thesis will shed light on why conflict arises in the development of wind power in Norway, and how ideals for renewable energy meet local opposition. In our time as research assistants at WINDPLAN, the assignment was to review key documents to categorize various conflict areas that arise in the development of respective wind power plants. It became clear that definitions of the project, perspectives on the understanding of the conflict and procedural challenges were central to the conflict picture. The purpose of the master's thesis is to see the conflict from new perspectives, where the definition “the relative megapro…
