| description | In the growing concern for the state of the environment more tools are being integrated in the decision-making processes. Sweden actively makes use of environmental impact assessment (EIA), which is supposed to minimise negative impacts of a project, policy or plans on the environment. The EIA process in Sweden still requires certain improvements to be more efficient. In this study actor interaction was analysed with trust being the framework for analysis. The aim is to find out whether it is possible to use trust as a framework for analysis since trust research is very discipline dependent. For this analysis impersonal trust between organizations as interaction was mostly used. The chosen framework was applied to a case study of the wind power project in Tönsen. Methods for the study include a literature review and surveys. The results include suggestions on how to better design a detailed framework for analysis.
It was found that there is a need for more cross-disciplinary or interdisciplinary view of trust and further development of certain aspects of the theory such as quantification, dynamics, reciprocity, and classification. Actor interaction in the EIA process proved to be an interesting, but challenging task since it involves many interactions of different nature. In practice the biggest challenge is in the interaction between developer and the general public. It is argued that with further research in applying trust to actor interaction in the EIA process, the process can be improved and relationships between certain actors can become better.

Det finns en växande oro för miljöfrågor i många länder nuförtiden, därför integreras olika verktyg i beslutsfattandet. Sverige använder miljökonsekvens¬beskrivning (MKB) som ska minska negativa miljöeffekter i samband med genomförande av projekt, policy eller plan. MKB-processen behöver förändras för att bli mer effektiv. Syftet med denna studie har varit att se på om man kan analysera interaktionen mellan aktörerna inom MKB-processen genom teori om förtroende. I analysen användes främst opersonligt förtroende mellan organisationer inom interaktion. Analysramen tillämpades på en fallstudie av vindkraft verksamheten i Tönsen. Studien bygger på litteraturstudier och enkätresultat. Studien föreslår hur analysramen kan förbättras. Den visar att det behövs en mer interdisciplinär eller tvärvetenskaplig uppfattning av förtroendet. Några teoretiska aspekter, bl. a. kvantifiering, dynamik, ömsesidighet och klassificering kräver ytterligare utveckling. Interaktion mellan aktörerna inom MKB-processen visade sig vara intressant, men utmanande för analysen eftersom samverkan mellan aktörerna var av olika karaktär. I praktiken visar samverkan mellan verksamhetsutövare och allmänhet vara det mest problematiska. En slutsats av studien är att fördjupade studier inom området kan förbättra MKB-processen och samverkan mellan vissa av aktörerna. Вопросы окружающей среды приобретают все большее внимание со стороны правительств многих стран мира, в свете чего различные инструменты, призванные способствовать охране окружающей среды, интегрируются в местные законодательства. В Швеции широкое распространение приобрела оценка воздействия на окружающую среду (ОВОС), призванная минимизировать негативные последствия для окружающей среды, вызванные хозяйственной деятельностью. В данной работе проводится анализ взаимодействия участников процесса при помощи теории доверия на примере проекта ветряной фермы Тёнсен (Tönsen). Задача данного исследования выяснить, применима ли теория доверия, точка зрения на которую сильно зависит от дисциплины ее изучающей, к данной ситуации. Для данной ситуации использовалось безличное доверие между организациями. Результаты предлагают рекоммендации по дальнейшему исследованию в области доверия с целью улучшения анализа ситуций. Результаты показали, что необходим более междисциплинарный подход к доверию и дальнейшее равзвитие определенных аспектов, таких как, например, взаимность, классификация, квантификация и динамика. Процесс ОВОС включает в себя взаимодействия большого количества участников, а потому является сложным для анализа. С практической точки зрения наибольшие проблемы, в том числе, связанные с доверием, встречаются в отношениях заказчика и общественности. Разумно предположить, что при более глубоком анализе доверия в процессе ОВОС процес возможно улучшить, так же как улучшить взаимоотношения между участниками. 2012-10-30 Second cycle, A2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/5019/1/zhukova_o_121030.pdf Zhukova, Olga, 2012.
