Gilla läget? : En intervjustudie om hur militär närvaro påverkar kommunal planering

The aim of this study is to examine how a military presence effects the spatial planning of municipalities in Sweden. The focus of this paper will be on how municipal planners view the military presence and to what extent it influences their planning. And if so, how it does affect their planning. To fulfil the aim of this study four semi structured interviews was carried through with planners in the municipalities of Haninge, Skövde, Upplands-Bro and Uppsala. Municipalities that today has a military presence and also has a history of having this presence. The results of this study point out that these four municipalities view the military presence as a fact that has an impact on their planning. There is a variation of in what matter this impact is positive or negative. The different views on the military presence could be explained by a variation of the extent between the communication between the municipalities and armed forces, on how close to the urban areas the military presence is and what branch of the armed forces that is present
