  Despite the necessity of batteries for a successful energy transition, the battery value chain poses numerous environmental, social, and governance challenges that are further exacerbated by rapidly growing demand. although the sustainability of batteries is gaining increasing attention in policy and industry, no research to date has addressed how experts construct, negotiate, and evaluate their inherent characteristics. this article seeks to address this gap by reporting on interviews with battery industry experts in Norway. Drawing on social representations theory and critical discursive psychology, we attend to both the construction (what is said) and the function (why it is said) of expert talk. the analysis illustrates that the hegemonic representations of battery sustainability align with weak sustainability, framing batteries as a necessary solution compatible with continued growth and prosperity. Respondents use the flexibility of the sustainability concept to legitimize social and environmental consequences, thereby justifying the status quo and maintaining the existing system of inequality. Yet, critical (polemic) representations also appear in the interviews, where the experts question electrification and batteries as the path to a sustainable future. these alternative representations emphasize systemic transformation and sufficiency, opening space for stronger forms of sustainability. Overall, the results highlight how expert discourse shapes the meaning and practical use of sustainability in the energy transition, primarily reinforcing dominant understandings of sustainability, while expressing personal aspirations for more transformative alternatives.

  Aim The present case study explores insights related to navigating biophilic design innovation in public healthcare using the Outdoor Care Retreat at Oslo University Hospital and the Hospital of Southern Norway as a case. Background Available research from environmental psychology proposes an association between access to biophilic design, well-being, health, and hospitalization satisfaction. Still, integrating this research into public healthcare is challenging and there is a need for research that builds on innovative examples of biophilic design integration in this context. Methods Study findings are based on eight individual interviews with people involved in project initiation and development of the Outdoor Care Retreat, in addition to online public records and other digital documents related to the case study. The qualitative materials were analyzed according to reflexive thematic analysis and categorized into themes. Results Findings illustrate how moving beyond conventional healthcare practices can support the implementation of biophilic design. Specifically, the findings suggest that biophilic design in healthcare benefits from an appealing story, individual contributions, and an organizational and environmental context that challenges common conventions. Drawing from research from public healthcare innovation and biophilic design, the study outlines key insights for implementation. Conclusions This study contributes to bridging the gap between theory and practice in a public healthcare context. It offers key insights for implementing biophilic design in healthcare environments, with the potential to ensure valuable improvements in the hospitalization experience for patients and their families in future developments of public healthcare facilities.

  Purpose Studies have consistently shown that autistic individuals often find their interactions with healthcare professionals unhelpful, indicating unmet needs. This issue is exacerbated by healthcare professionals’ inadequate knowledge about autism and communication difficulties between healthcare professionals and autistic patients. This qualitative study sought to gain a deeper understanding of clinical encounters between healthcare professionals and autistic patients, from the perspectives of clinicians. Methods We conducted five in-depth focus groups with 20 experienced clinicians in Child and Adult Mental Health services in Norway. We used reflexive thematic analysis to analyze the data, using an inductive approach. Results We found that, overall, clinicians want to be respectful and flexible in their clinical encounters with their autistic patients. We also identified four themes, including that clinicians: 1) are attentive to the varied responses to diagnoses; 2) understand the importance of adapting their communication styles toward the needs of their autistic patients; 3) recognize the need for greater focus on quality of life and autonomy; and 4) acknowledge the significant role that parents play in autistic young people’s lives. Conclusion Although neurodiversity-affirming attitudes amongst clinicians are encouraging, whether they are demonstrated in practice needs further investigation. The findings indicate that support for autistic patients should be more comprehensive and persist for a longer time.

  Several studies report on lower quality of life for autistic people when compared to non-autistic people. However, there are ongoing discussions about the conceptualization of quality of life for the autistic population. This qualitative study investigated self-perceived quality of life in the context of autistic young adults’ everyday lives. Participants (age range 21–29 years) were recruited from a 10-year follow-up study, Lillehammer Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Study, all diagnosed in childhood and adolescence. Fourteen individual in-depth interviews were conducted. When asked about what was important for having a good quality of life, our autistic participants described relationships to people and pets as important, as well as having meaningful activities. Specific interests had guided many to their choice of both academic and work career. Many also described obstacles in their environment that had influenced their quality of life negatively, such as being misunderstood by teachers and other professionals, being bullied, and sensory and emotional overload. Our findings indicate that those in supportive roles should provide help with establishing connections to activities and people/animals, as this seems to be essential for creating a good quality of life. Taking advantage of passions and interests can create opportunities for autistic people. Findings suggest that future research should address the communication barriers between autistic people and professionals that can lead to misunderstandings

  This study aimed to explore the experiences of a nature-based outdoor activity program for children and adolescents who have survived a serious illness like cancer, as well as their siblings. The study utilised individual semi-structured interviews (N=10) and focus group interviews (N=8) to investigate the experiences of participants, parents, and program leaders. Data was analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), resulting in two main themes: 1) What nature affords, and 2) Influence on the child. The various affordances in nature influenced the child in multifaceted ways: mastery experiences, autonomy, motivation, awareness, stress reduction and affect regulation, belongingness and social support. These categories are connected to the main agentic features: intentionality, forethought, self-reactiveness and self-reflectiveness. The Nature school contributes to the development of agency within children. They become more capable of self-care, and there are examples of the children transferring this knowledge to other aspects of their daily lives.

  This study explores how children experience two different locations at Oslo University Hospital in terms of their architectural design and emotional potential. The first location includes a conventional modern hospital wing, whereas the other is a uniquely designed cabin in natural surroundings outside the hospital building, the Outdoor care retreat. The research is a psychological study of how various locations activate cognitive schemas and lead to elicitation of different emotional responses and modes of behavior for children. Participants included 17 children aged 7 to 16, whereby 11 children had no previous experience with hospitalization for a serious medical condition and 6 children were undergoing treatment or follow-ups related to a medical condition at the time of data collection. The data material consisted of walking interviews accompanied by a semi-structured interview guide. The qualitative material was analyzed by applying reflexive thematic analysis and categorized into themes. Study findings illustrate that children experience the environments differently in terms of physical and emotional restrictions. Overall, the children prefer architectural spaces with direct contact to nature or design that mimics natural environments, in addition to being exciting, friendly, and intimate. In these environments, children feel less restricted, more relaxed and more free to express themselves and a range of emotions. This study proposes that spending time in such environments will increase resilience and hospitalization satisfaction for children admitted to hospitals for longer periods of time. In turn, this could have important implications for practice if included in the design of future health care facilities.

Autism in Adulthood. ISSN 2573-9581. doi: 10.1089/aut.2024.0156. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Abstract Background: Research increasingly focuses on how autistic individuals use different strategies to adapt to their social environment. Awareness about how these strategies could impact well-being is essential. In this study, we aimed to explore the developmental perspective of social strategies and identity formation from childhood to young adulthood among young autistic adults. Methods: Participants were initially recruited in 2009 when diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder at Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) centers in one region of Norway (Mage = 12 years). For this follow-up study, 14 participants agreed to take part in individual in-depth, semistructured interviews conducted ∼12 years later. We applied reflexive thematic analysis to the interview material. Results: From the analysis of the interviews, we identified one overarching theme: I have tried to fit in, but I just want to be me: Development toward agency. The overarching theme represents an ongoing process of agency, tied to three main themes. Participants reported functioning differently in social situations throughout development (Theme 1) when compared with non-autistic peers. Consequently, they reflected on helpful strategies (Theme 2) that they found beneficial in navigating the social world. Gradually, the participants developed identity formation toward acceptance of being different (Theme 3). Conclusion: This study highlights the complexity of social interaction and self-perception in autism. Participants recognized their unique ways of interacting and used various strategies to fit in. Growing older, they became more self-aware and preferred social situations that met their needs for predictability, quiet environments, and routines. Interestingly, participants did not always view autism as a core part of their identity. This suggests that autistic adults may be more satisfied in acknowledging and appreciating their differences rather than trying to fit into conform identities. Our findings highlight the need to encourage strategies that promote well-being and individuality as autistic individuals become adults.

  Research on common factors in therapy largely focuses on qualities in the therapist, relationship, or client, with little attention to the meaning of the physical environment. This study contributes to the literature on common factors, aiming for a qualitative in-depth analysis of the ways place, nature, and natural materials affect therapy with hospitalized chronically ill children. The study compares the experience of therapy in the Outdoor Care Retreat (OCR)—an architect-designed cabin in a natural setting behind the Oslo University Hospital in Norway—with therapy in a traditional hospital setting. The findings are based on two group interviews with seven leaders, six individual interviews with therapists (psychologists, social workers, and medical doctors), and four individual interviews with parents of hospitalized chronically ill children. The qualitative data were analyzed according to reflexive thematic analysis and categorized into eight main themes. The (1) affordances of the OCR positively influenced the therapy. The analysis yielded examples of positive influence from the natural setting and materials on both child and therapist, in terms of (2) natural bodily reactions, (3) multifaceted role activation, (4) situations of opportunities, (5) restorative emotional reactions, (6) stronger alliance, and (7) valuable expectations. The subthemes demonstrate which mechanisms were in play, and how these contribute to (8) therapeutic flow in a holding environment. The case study demonstrates the value of considering place and nature for therapy with children. A model of the meaning of the physical environment in therapy is proposed, to be tested in further research.Keywords: Nature-based, Children, Therapy, Biophilic design, Architecture, Common factors

User evaluation of a national web portal for climate change adaptation – A qualitative case study of the Knowledge Bank. Climate Services. 30. doi: 10.1016/j.cliser.2023.100367. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  This paper describes the development and first user evaluation of a web portal (The Knowledge Bank) for collecting and presenting national data relevant to climate change adaptation in Norway, including insurance loss data for damages arising from natural hazards and weather events. The paper examines the major drivers for municipal decision-makers to use the Knowledge Bank, presenting the results of a qualitative case study with group interviews with 11 users representing both smaller and larger Norwegian municipalities, and an individual interview with one of the developers. The findings show that the drivers for using the Knowledge Bank depend on the level of user expectations, user trust in the tool and the data, expectations for a contribution to efficiency, expectations for increased cooperation between municipal departments and municipalities, and the ability to interact with the portal, especially the ability to transfer data to and from their own data systems. Increased uptake and use of the Knowledge Bank could be reinforced with networks of users sharing awareness of the portal, teaching other users, and promoting improvement. The study provides insights into the challenges and opportunities encountered in the development of the Knowledge Bank and gives examples of how the size of the municipality may shape the drivers for uptake. These insights may also apply to the development of other national web portals for climate change adaptation data, especially when trying to incorporate sharing of insurance loss data.

  This article analyses adaptation to climate induced challenges in form of torrential rains hitting urban landscapes in Norway with increased frequency. Specifically, it investigates the influence of the industry structure on ethical challenges when the climate changes. A meta-analysis of the scientific output from a major multi-disciplinary research program is carried out. In addition, the methods include use of expert opinions, literature review and document studies. Climate change adaptation challenges disciplines within civil engineering and natural sciences. Following this, established practices need alteration as specialists face new ethical challenges. Practical climate change adaptation requires the ability to overcome silo mentality among the involved disciplines. Challenges involve acknowledging responsibility, transparency, and information quality. Engineering takes place in an environment of incomplete knowledge. In addition, there is a high degree of decentralised decision-making and directives, and laws and regulations are often lagging after the experienced challenges. Consequently, individual experts experience increased ethical challenges. Systemic circumstances apprehension is necessary for reducing societal risks within climate change adaptation. Both education of engineers and cooperation between specialists from different disciplines is needed to master the altered framework conditions.

  Construction industry is one of the main contributors to the world's emissions and material footprints. Reuse of construction products is one way to lower the sector's embodied emissions and increase resource utilisation. The aim of this study is to identify the main drivers and challenges affecting reuse of construction products as well as assess success factors, reuse potential, and potential measures which should be considered to overcome these obstacles. An online national survey was conducted on reuse of construction products among actors from the Norwegian construction industry. The valid responses obtained from 260 participants show ‘emission reduction’ as the most important driver for reuse of construction products by all user groups. Even if regulatory and economic components were listed under drivers in the survey questions, they were considered as barriers rather than drivers by some of the respondents. All user groups, except suppliers of reused products, rated ‘lack of documentation’ as the most important barrier, and ‘good planning’ as the most important success factor. Suppliers of reused products rated ‘high cost’ and ‘good planning’ as the most challenging and the most important success factor for reuse, respectively. The findings also reveal different perceptions and levels of optimism among actors. Most respondents were optimistic about availability of reusable products (within less than 5 y), but least optimistic about finding cheaper reusable products in the near future (assuming it might take 9 to 17 y). Laws and regulations, testing, documentation and certification, and economic subsidies are mentioned as the top three measures to address the current barriers. Concerning the definition of the term ‘Reuse’, the findings indicate a lack of common understanding – and the need to create a clear description and a harmonised definition. The findings from the study show the need to take several actions to address the current challenges of reuse.

  The importance of internalization and employee involvement in the greening of organizations is well-established; however, experiences of environmental certification processes in small-scale companies have largely been overlooked. The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of environmental certification in small-scale companies, and how certification may drive green change in these contexts. The study employed a qualitative approach and thematic analysis. Twenty-eight informants in seven small-scale companies were interviewed, via focus-group interviews with employees and leaders, and in individual interviews with leaders. The main theme that was identified from the reflexive thematic analysis was that certification gave rise to a back-and-forth process between drivers and hindrances, resulting in conflicting emotions and cognitive dissonance—which we denoted certification dissonance. Findings indicate that employees experienced conflicts between their own environmental values and the requirements imposed by the certification scheme. Four main categories of certification dissonance were identified: 1) Company characteristics, 2) the company's relationship with the customers/market, 3) characteristics of the certification scheme, and 4) emotional reactions. The participants struggled to choose between alternatives in different shades of green in what we denoted the ‘eco grey zone’. Systems theory and cognitive dissonance theory provided a theoretical framework for analysis. Based on our findings, we propose a new process model of certification dissonance outcomes. This model illustrates how employees and managers feel trapped within categorical thinking, and experience dissonance between the poles of ‘what is truly green and sustainable’ and ‘being certified’. This study may be of relevance to managers and stakeholders working on environmental sustainability.

  Background and aim: The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how we can use nature cabins and their natural surroundings therapeutically. Method: Published research of relevance for this therapeutic practice is discussed in relation to and informed by experiences from practice, collected through conversations with therapists using the Outdoor care retreat at Rikshospitalet in Norway. Results: The literature review demonstrates how therapy in nature cabins can influence cognitive and emotional processes. All physical environments carry symbolic meanings; therefore, no therapy setting is neutral, and the setting will affect the client and therapist. Place attachment may contribute to create a safe foundation for exploration and self-development. The experiences from practice demonstrate how nature and natural objects are rich in potential for the creative application of symbols in therapy and opens for different stories on growth and development. Conclusions and implications: The evidence-based approach of this article supplies a therapeutic rationale to use cabins in natural surroundings more strategically for positive therapeutic outcomes.

  Introduction: This study aims to investigate self-perceived quality of life, daily functioning, and the use of compensatory strategies in emerging adults with autism. Methods and analysis: Participants will be recruited from the Lillehammer Neurodevelopmental 10-year follow-up study (LINEUP), with the aim of 15 individual in-depth interviews. Subsequently, two focus groups with clinicians will be invited to reflect on the themes found in the individual interviews. All interviews will be recorded and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Ethics and dissemination: The study is approved by the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics in South-East Norway. The findings will be disseminated to academic and clinical audiences through journal articles and conference presentations. To reach the broader autistic and autism communities, the findings will be shared with the Autism Society at national and local meetings, in their membership magazine, and on their social media channel.

  Koronapandemien aktualiserte undervisning i digitale læringsmiljø og førte til en bratt læringskurve for undervisere i høyere utdanning. Studiens formål var å få kunnskap om hvordan undervisere opplevde undervisning i digitale læringsmiljø for store studentkull under pandemien. Det er utført to gruppeintervju med erfarne undervisere. Hovedfunnene er at underviserne opplever «svarte skjermer» og mangel på respons hos studentene i digitale læringsmiljø. Dette påvirker dem negativt. De blir slitne og demotiverte og tappes for energi. De opplever at arbeidet mister kvalitet, og at de blir kjedeligere og mindre frie. På den positive siden er det høyt oppmøte, og det tekniske er lett. Gruppearbeid digitalt oppleves også enklere å få til enn i fysiske læringsmiljø, men utfordringen er at mange studenter forlater gruppearbeidet. Datamaterialet avdekker motsetninger mellom undervisernes negative opplevelser og deres positive holdninger til å videreføre det. Undervisning i digitale læringsmiljø ser ut til å kunne føre til en behagelig avstand og dermed en risiko for resignasjon for både studenter og undervisere. Det kan dermed være mer krevende enn undervisning i fysiske miljø. Undersøkelsen ble gjort da dette var ganske nytt. Forventninger om hvordan undervisning skal være, er dermed preget av tradisjonell undervisning i fysiske læringsmiljø. Erfaringene kan se annerledes ut på sikt.

  Bakgrunn: Bofellesskap har fått en fornyet interesse i dagens samfunn. Fellesskapsløsninger kan bidra til et mer bærekraftig samfunn, både økonomisk, miljømessig og sosialt. Gjennom å dele arealer og utstyr kan de gi lavere forbruk, bedre økonomi og skape arenaer for etablering av sosiale nettverk. Bofellesskap i Norge er imidlertid først og fremst brukt til personer som samtidig trenger et tjenestetilbud, leieboliger der kommunen har en tydelig rolle i etableringen. I denne studien ser vi derimot på erfaringer med bofellesskap for eldre som eies av beboerne selv, og der initiativet til å velge en slik boform er tatt av beboerne, og tilbudet etablert i det private markedet. Sett i lys av hvordan folk flest bor, er dette fortsatt relativt sjeldent i Norge. Formål: Formålet med denne studien har vært å undersøke sammenhengen mellom opplevd livskvalitet og selvvalgte eierboliger i bofellesskap for eldre. Metode: I tillegg til litteratursøk er ti informanter i to bofellesskap for eldre intervjuet. Intervjuene ble transkribert og analysert etter fortolkende fenomenologisk analyse. Resultater: Resultatene viser at beboerne opplever at bofellesskapene bidrar til livskvalitet gjennom 1) økt mestring, og dermed mulighet for å klare seg selv lenger, 2) lett tilgang til aktiviteter og et miljø som inspirerer til deltagelse, 3) en opplevelse av trygghet/ sikkerhet, 4) flere sosiale relasjoner, og 5) homogene miljø. Informantene bor i aldershomogene bofellesskap og setter pris på dette, men flere ser også ulemper ved det. Konklusjon: Bofellesskap kan bidra til økt livskvalitet for eldre. Å gjøre erfaringene med boformen mer kjent kan bidra til at markedet i større grad tilbyr denne boformen. Det drøftes om boformen også kan være relevant for andre beboergrupper.

  In recent decades, there has been a growing interest among urban residents, policy makers, and researchers in co-housing as a socially, environmentally, and sustainable housing alternative. In Norway, however, co-housing is still a relatively unknown and niche housing option among the general population. This paper presents a qualitative research study of potential residents’ stated preferences and underlying motivation concerning co-housing and shared living in Norway. We conducted ten semi-structured interviews with potential residents for a co-housing pilot project in the city of Bergen, Norway. We analyzed the data using thematic analysis and categorized different motivational reasons and preferences. The mix of age groups in the sample contributed to understanding differences and similarities in motivation and preferences, as well as the likelihood of converting co-housing interest into action. We found that pragmatism and social motivation were the main drivers for co-housing. Although environmental concerns were ranked second, they were consistently prevalent among the participants. Esthetics – for example, a “wow factor” – were emphasized as important for co-housing building preferences.

  This chapter discusses experiences from public-private cooperation for climate services providing insurance loss data (from weather related damage) on asset level for Norwegian municipalities.‘Insurance loss data’ display insurance adjustments on address level after nature hazards. The chapter compiles results from three successive studies performed in the period from 2013 to 2018. The studies examined the utility value of insurance loss data for 10 municipalities and investigated the attitudes in the 8 largest Norwegian insurance companies for sharing such data. The findings demonstrate that insurance loss data on asset level can improve municipal understanding of both current and future climate risks, and thus improve the effect and quality of measures to prevent and adapt to such risks. However, with respect to data quality, precise time and place for damage occurrence is essential. With respect to data availability, it is essential that the insurance companies are willing to share loss data with municipalities working with mitigation of risks. Commercial sensitivity is important for the companies, and therefore only restricted entities should be allowed access to the data. The insurance companies also stressed their responsibility for protection of privacy for their customers. Finding solutions to the data access and privacy is up to national authorities. As a direct follow-up of the findings and the recommendations from the studies, The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection and Finance Norway are cooperating in developing a climate service called ‘knowledge bank’ for compiling and providing access to data on natural hazard events. The knowledge bank is relating to both current and future climate, strengthening municipalities in their work on risk prevention, and climate change adaptation. Loss data from insurance companies are one type of data they are including.

However, there is often a gap between the high-level goals, and possible and planned measures on the community level. Evaluation of development scenarios against a defined set of indicators and goals can help urban planners and other stakeholders understand the consequences of their strategies. This article presents a scenario calculator designed to link detailed measures with overall climate goals. This tool has been developed in interaction between researchers and potential user groups, through a series of interviews and workshops, in addition to testing of the tool in specific case studies. General feedback has been positive, but several barriers remain before community planners can employ such a tool in their working process and make it count in their decisionmaking processes: 1) community planners lack commitment to the overall environmental visions set by policymakers, and 2) community planners have no legal power to influence actual community development.

Process-related risks in refurbishment of dwellings using prefabricated wall elements with integrated PV and ventilation ducts. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (EES).

  Prefabricated façade elements with integrated technical infrastructure is an attractive technology for refurbishment of existing dwellings. Heating and cooling demand can be reduced, local energy production introduced, and indoor air quality be improved, with disturbance to the tenants and building site being small and of short duration compared to more traditional building processes. On the other hand, unexpected events could largely reduce these benefits. Thus, risk management of the building process is of great importance. Focus group interviews and workshops were arranged before and after the building phase in a pilot project using such elements in Oslo, Norway. Representatives of building owner, design team and contractor contributed actively at the workshop. In a pre-building phase workshop, a range of hazards were identified and prioritized using a participative process facilitated by a neutral moderator. A large proportion of the prioritized risks in the building phase were connected to the renovated flats being occupied during the renovation. Other significant identified risks related to transport and logistics, and undetected challenges in the existing construction. Mitigation included prioritizing tenant information, including direct dialog, and increasing the presence of on-site workforce both for coordination with tenants and in order to respond quickly to unforeseen events. The participants emphasized that an open, cooperative processes with a high degree of trust and sense of a common goal had been important for the robust design that was developed prior to the workshop. During the retrospective evaluation, the participants concluded that the risk mitigation procedures had been successful in preventing some events as well as reducing the consequences of others. However, some of the measures to mitigate an identified risk of rain intrusion were inadequate, and it was acknowledged that the combination of bad weather and long working days could have identified this as preventable.

  Floods and stormwater events are the costliest natural catastrophes. Costs are expected to increase due to urbanization and climate change. Mitigation is needed. Different stakeholders with different motivations unfortunately often evaluate vulnerability by using fragmented and incomplete data sources. This paper intends to review the different approaches for collecting and analyzing data, and to evaluate their usefulness within the proposed framework for a “smart” use of data. The objectives of this work have been to review qualitatively and quantitatively a selection of Norwegian stormwater-related databases and to propose measures for improvement. The findings are seen according to the climate services literature and show that that data is spread around a heterogeneous community of stakeholders concerned with different motivations, different needs, and different levels of data processing. In general, the needs of the different stakeholders have not been surveyed and defined systematically enough and there is a substantial potential in upgrading from the delivery of passive raw data to the delivery of knowledge-driven decision-support tools.

  In a time of debate surrounding the role of qualitative research methods in environmental psychology, this symposium aims to explore the unique perspectives these methods can offer to people-environment researchers. It provides a space for open discussion about the future of qualitative methods in environmental psychology. Through four presentations, the symposium demonstrates the diversity of qualitative research methods and their utility for generating both theoretical and practical insights rooted in place, offering both culture-specific and transferable findings that resonate across cultures. These presentations cover topics ranging from health and well-being in the physical environment to deeply applied perspectives on combating climate change, and demonstrate that qualitative methods are uniquely positioned to support desired shifts in our field, such as the incorporation of critical research approaches, the integration of psychological insights into climate policy, and the inclusion of diverse and underrepresented actors in our research. The symposium will end with a guided discussion about the future of qualitative research in environmental psychology, which will be documented for use as data in a subsequent publication. Participants and audience members will be invited to reflect on questions such as: “In what areas of environmental psychology would qualitative research be most valuable?” and “What are the main barriers and opportunities for qualitative research in this field?”.

  Hospitalization for severe pediatric illness can profoundly disrupt children’s everyday lives. While children usually develop within familiar physical environments that support agency and continuity in identity trajectories, hospitalization introduces institutionalized settings that may evoke uncertainty and altered roles, challenging these developmental processes. This study explores the meaning of the physical environment for narrative identity processes during hospitalization, using the Outdoor Care Retreat (OCR) at Oslo University Hospital as a case. Drawing on narrative identity theory, illness narratives, and research on the role of physical environments in healthcare, we sought to understand how pediatric patients and parents construct opportunities for identity development and repair during hospitalization in relation to the OCR, and what insights these narratives offer into the role of the physical environment for narrative identity processes. Applying a narrative-constructionist approach that emphasizes storytelling as an arena for meaning-making, we conducted a narrative analysis of 10 interviews with pediatric patients and parents. The results illustrate how the OCR functions as a portal to everyday life, supporting reconnection, preservation, and expansion of self in ways that benefit children’s narrative identity development and repair during illness. While grounded in a specific institutional and cultural context, the findings offer analytically transferable insights into how thoughtfully designed, non-institutional spaces within healthcare settings may support narrative identity processes among hospitalized children and families more broadly. Overall, the study highlights the meaningful relationship between narrative identity and the physical environment, as well as the relevance of storytelling in healthcare settings for fostering more compassionate and imaginative perspectives on care.

ReDemOS​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Unintended Undemocratic Consequences of Open Science practices: Rethinking the Democratisation of Knowledge Production. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  The Open Science movement aims to democratise knowledge production, making data, research processes and results more open and transparent. However, it may also risk being undemocratic in its approaches to knowledge production. With its current guidelines, Open Science is tailored to methods used in specific disciplines, e.g. the Natural Sciences or hypothesis-testing social science. Though the aims of Open Science are transparency, equity and inclusion, the recommended methodological practices are often difficult to apply to other types of research approaches, e.g. qualitative methods. Open Science may, therefore, unintentionally exclude certain forms of knowledge production, especially within the social sciences. Consequentially, some types of research addressing important societal issues may face hindrances, as Open Science gains ground in research, funding, hiring and publishing. There may be cases where knowledge production paradoxically becomes narrower and less transparent due to Open Science. ReDemOs seeks to address these unintended consequences. By critically investigating how the aim of democratization in Open Science influences knowledge production, ReDemOs aims to suggest alternative conceptualisations and practices within Open Science.

  The normative concept of creativity involves imagination, originality, and intentionality, and while it is not always used for good, it is typically considered as a virtue (Gaut & Kieran, 2018). This is especially true in the profession of architecture, where creativity is central to the work toward “good architecture”. Architects face numerous challenges to their creative process, including budget limitations, compressed design schedules, and regulatory standards. Another factor that has caused some concern as a potential threat to creativity—is empirical research. While research is not currently a requisite component of the design process, there is a growing demand for it from clients and society in general. Little is understood about how research is perceived and influences the creative process in architecture. Is research another termite in the foundation of creativity, or can it fortify the structure? This question is explored through the lens of multiple theories, supported by a thematic literature review and preliminary findings from a qualitative interview-based study on perceptions of research within the profession of architecture. Preliminary results are based on five out of ten interviews with architects and four out of ten interviews with educators. The results show that— despite concerns around research in design—there are three ways in which research can benefit the creative process: 1. Research as a buttress: Fortification of creative integrity and virtue 2. Research as a buffer: Shelter and mitigation against other threats to creativity 3. Research as a baluster/bolster: Elevating creative quality and potential for innovation

  The COVID-19 pandemic actualized teaching in digital learning environments and brought a steep learning curve for teachers in higher education. Several studies focusing on students’ experiences of this period have gradually emerged, but there has been less on how teachers experience digital learning environments. Hence, the purpose of this empirical study was to gain knowledge about how teachers experienced online teaching of large groups during the pandemic. Two group interviews were conducted with experienced teachers. The main finding was that teaching in digital environments leads to a type of digital apathy. The teachers experienced black screens and a lack of response from students, having a negative effect on them. They become tired, demotivated, and drained of energy. They experienced losing their qualities as lecturers, becoming boring, and being less free in what they could say. Breakout groups were easy to manage, but many students would leave when these were introduced. Teaching in digital learning environments seemed to lead to a comfortable distance, which posed a risk for both students and teachers to become resigned. Therefore, this teaching format may be more demanding than teaching in physical environments. The interviews were conducted at a time when teaching in digital learning environments was novel, and the informants’ expectations may have been characterized by traditional teaching. Their experiences may be different in the long run.

  Hva er innovasjon? Hvordan kan vi forstå og studere dette fenomenet? Boka viser hvordan innovasjon kan beskrives og forstås fra ulike perspektiver. Boka har tre deler som tar for seg hvordan innovasjon kan forstås på systemnivå organisasjonsnivå praktisk nivå Kapitlene formidler kunnskap om innovasjon på en lettfattelig måte og bruker rikelig med eksempler fra ulike bransjer og sektorer. Forfatterne viser at innovasjon kan studeres i ulike settinger, i ulike faser og på ulike nivåer, og leseren får innblikk i innovasjon som et stort og sammensatt fagområde. Mens innovasjon gjerne forbindes med verdiskaping og fremskritt, er det i dag økende oppmerksomhet om problematiske aspekter, særlig i forbindelse med bærekraft. Dette tematiseres i mange av bokas kapitler, og gir et mer nyansert bilde enn det som har dominert litteraturen hittil. Boka er ment som en innføring i innovasjon til bruk på bachelor- og masterkurs. Målgruppen for boka er studenter innen økonomi-, organisasjon- og ledelsesfag, aktører innen nærings- og samfunnsliv, og andre lesere med interesse for innovasjon.

  This PhD project has aimed to explore what contributes to and shapes Quality of Life in autistic individuals during emerging adulthood, in a nuanced, contextually grounded narrative, by bringing together lived experiences of autistic young adults with the perspectives of clinicians. The study has had a cross-sectional design, with a retrospective view on changes over time from childhood to emerging adulthood. To shed light on these topics, a sample of young adults (N=14) who received an autism diagnosis in childhood have participated in in-depth interviews. Clinicians working in the specialist health service (N=20) have shared their reflections on their encounters with autistic people and their families, through focus group interviews. The findings show that the autistic participants emphasised close relationships and being engaged in meaningful activities as important for a good quality of life. At the same time, they described challenges such as sensory overload, bullying and communication difficulties with teachers and healthcare personnel, that negatively affected their quality of life. Despite these challenges, participants reported living meaningful lives. Several described developing strategies to manage the challenges of daily life, particularly in balancing the energy they spent on social activities. They experienced greater open-mindedness from their surroundings as they got older, and this had a positive impact on their quality of life. Regarding social relationships and identity formation, several described trying hard to fit in with their peers during adolescence but gradually learning to embrace and accept their differences as they transitioned into emerging adulthood. Many participants emphasised other aspects of their identity in addition to being autistic or having autism, suggesting intersectionality. The clinicians acknowledged their own role in being able to support autistic people and pointed out that challenges do arise in communication. The clinicians saw a clear need for follow-up of autistic patients and their close support persons over time. They emphasised the importance of prioritising quality of life and autonomy in treatment and highlighted that the need for follow-up changes across different phases of life. They further described parents as significant resource persons who also have an important role when their children become adults. The findings indicate that quality of life for autistic individuals depends on social support that is grounded in their individual strengths, needs, and interests, is adapted to their current life stage, and helps them maintain close relationships.

  Open Science is described as an umbrella term for a diversity of aims and practices to increase public trust in scientific knowledge and increase the societal impact of research. In psychology, the Open Science movement has gained attention and impetus, especially as a remedy for “the replication crisis,” which revealed that numerous quantitative studies fail to replicate. However, many Open Science principles for improving replicability in quantitative studies conflict with the knowledge ambitions and epistemological stands in qualitative approaches. Today, Open Science is increasingly articulated as a demand for research funding, publication, and job announcements in academia. We recommend that Open Science is not confused with a standardised framework that ends up with a checklist approach across all research approaches. • Open Science is often understood as the particular practices of preregistration of hypotheses and analysis and open sharing of data. In most traditions of qualitative research, the research questions should be flexible and open, and the data are often too sensitive and context-dependent to be shared. Such practices may, therefore, limit the development of a broad range of qualitative research methodologies. • However, more broadly, Open Science concerns the need for trustworthy, transparent, and accessible research. Many practices already well-established in qualitative research, such as reflexivity, transparency, and user participation, may be seen as promoting these aims. We encourage The Department of Psychology to approach the aims of Open Science through diverse tailor-made practices for different methodological approaches. We also encourage critical reflections, discussions of dilemmas and engagement in innovative strategies for opening up our research and strengthening its societal impact.

  REBUS project vision and objectives: The research project REBUS – REuse of Building materials – a USer perspective started in 2020 with a vision of developing a knowledge platform to enable the wider and more efficient implementation of reusable building materials. REBUS aimed to address the main barriers to reuse in the construction sector using research-based approach by identifying the need of different user groups (WP1), develop methods for assessing the technical performance (WP2) and sustainability of reuse products (WP3), and practical knowledge exchange from actual pilots (WP4) and use of network strategies (WP5). Basic facts about REBUS: The REBUS project was an interdisciplinary collaboration between SINTEF, Inland Norway University of Applied Science, FutureBuilt, Resirqel, and Boligbygg Oslo KF from Norway, Department of the Built Environment at Aalborg university in Denmark (BUILD), and IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute. The project was financed by the Research Council of Norway under the program Miljøforsk (grant number 302754), and in-kind contributions of industry partners, who provided their expertise and resources. Main activities and results: The project started by screening the reuse potential of more than 50 construction product groups. This was done through input from experts from SINTEF as well as discussions in a series of workshops with REBUS partners (WP1). From this assess-ment, five construction products were chosen to be considered in REBUS: paving stone, doors and windows, glass partition wall, ventilation components, and sanitary equipment. To get more practical knowledge, the technical, environmental, and economic performance of reused paving stone was evaluated through laboratory testing, life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) studies (WP2). A reuse guideline was then developed for the remaining four products (doors and windows, glass partition walls, ventilation components and sanitary equipment) giving advice to consultants, developers, and contractors on how to assess and document the properties of reusable building materials (WP2). To understand the challenges, motivations, and potential measures for driving different user groups to reuse building materials in Norway, a national survey (WP1 & WP5) was conducted. In addition, semi-structured interviews (WP1 & WP4) were conducted with various actors in the building industry to identify practical challenges, barriers, and success factors related to the reuse of construction products in Norwegian pilot projects. To gather more practical know-ledge on the reuse of construction materials, a comparative assessment of exemplary pilot projects from Norway, Denmark, and Belgium was conducted (WP1 &WP4). Moreover, a review of approaches to reuse of building materials was conducted through evaluation of the current state of circularity in the Norwegian building industry, including actors, approaches, and developments (WP4). To address the research gap on the lack of harmonized life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) methods, a LCSA framework was developed (WP3). The framework was developed harmonizing environmental life cycle assessment (LCA), social LCA and life cycle costing (LCC) assessment methods to enable transparently assess the potential environmental, social and/or cost impacts of reused products in comparison to new ones. A network strategy was used to facilitate exchange of knowledge developed through REBUS as well as the experiences of partners and other key players within the network members (WP5). This exchange of ideas and insights served as a valuable input to providing recommendations on how procurement and political instruments can affect sustainable reuse of building products. The findings from REBUS project were made accessible to a wider audience through various channels aimed to achieve the ambition of creating research-based knowledge (WP6). Specifically, the project results were published in three peer-reviewed journals, one book chapter, and three reports and communicated through popular scientific articles, presentations at different events, webinars, and seminars. Expected impacts: • The research-based knowledge on reuse of existing construction products from different user aspects through a national survey, interviews, and comparative assessment of exem-plary pilots from Norway, Denmark and Belgium can provide a better understanding of the status of reuse for different actors. • The research on the technical performance of reused paving stone, through actual map-ping, laboratory testing, LCA and LCC analysis can provide guidance for further develop-ment of testing, documentation, environmental and economic analysis of reusable pro-ducts. Moreover, the reuse guidance document demonstrated how existing methods can be used to test and document reusable products, which can serve as a good example for developing routines for testing and documentation of reused products. • The LCSA framework developed through REBUS can support transparent evaluation of the environmental, social, and/or economic impacts and benefits of reused products in comparison to new products. • The review of material reuse approach and the practical knowledge collected from pilot projects can give better insight into historical developments as well as perspectives of professional actors involved in the limited pilot projects. • The network established through REBUS helped to contribute towards influencing the participants’ attitudes and actions for reuse of building materials. • Furthermore, the results from REBUS contribute to several of the UN sustainable develop-ment goals including: SDG12 (Responsible production and consumption), SDG13 (Climate action), SDG14 (Life below water), SDG15 (Life on land), SDG11 (Sustainable cities and communities), SDG8 (Decent work and economic growth), and SDG9 (Indust-ries, innovation, and infrastructure).

  Background: Perinatal mental health challenges are increasingly recognized as a pressing concern, given the escalating prevalence of perinatal depression. Research underscores the significant consequences of untreated or inadequately managed perinatal depression for both maternal and infant well-being. In response to these challenges, there has been a surge of internet-based interventions aimed at augmenting subjective well-being and mental health support for women during the perinatal period. Among these interventions is Mamma Mia, developed by a research team from Regionsenteret for Barn og Unges Psykiske Helse (RBUP) in Norway. The present study constitutes a component of a broader efficacy investigation into Mamma Mia. The primary objective is to provide a qualitative examination of user engagement and evaluation of the application. Additionally, the study seeks to elucidate users' utilization patterns and their assessment of the guidance and support provided by healthcare personnel at the well-baby clinic regarding Mamma Mia. Method: Data were collected from ten semi-structured interviews with participants enrolled in RBUP’s efficacy study. The author conducted eight out of ten interviews and subsequently transcribed and analyzed the data. Reflexive thematic analysis was employed, with thematic exploration guided by the theoretical underpinnings of mindfulness, positive psychology, and social cognitive theory, upon which Mamma Mia is founded. Additionally, the participants’ experiences with the well-baby clinic were examined to identify barriers and challenges in talking about mental health and integrating Mamma Mia with the practice at these clinics. Results: Participants regarded Mamma Mia as a valuable resource, emphasizing the informational content and tools to design positive thinking and mindfulness. They also stressed the reassurance they received in their role as a mother. Furthermore, participants underscored a desire for increased involvement from well-baby clinics regarding the issues presented in the Mamma Mia application.

  Bakgrunn: Målet for denne forskningsstudien er å samle innspill til vilkår for ombruk av byggematerialer i Norge og de statlige føringene for dette. Vi har spurt om hvordan entrepriseformer, lovendringer, veiledning for offentlige anskaffelser, marked og økonomiske støtteordninger påvirker ombruk av byggematerialer. Metode: Medlemmer i et nettverk for læring av ombruk av byggematerialer er intervjuet i tre gruppeintervjuer. Nettverket besto av ni firmaer med to deltakere fra hvert firma. De fleste av medlemmene var fra rådgiverfirmaer, to fra et produksjonsfirma og to fra kommune. Gruppeintervjuene ga tilgang til åpne refleksjoner om de føringene for ombruk som er til stede i samfunnet nå. Resultatene kan dermed bidra til en bedre forståelse av hvordan disse føringene blir forstått og oppfattet av aktører i byggebransjen, som er særlig interessert i ombruk. Hovedresultater fra gruppeintervjuene: • Deltakerne mener at samspillsentrepriser, eller entrepriseformer med elementer av samspillsentreprise i seg, gir et godt grunnlag for ombruk i byggeprosjekter. • Krav om ombrukskartlegging er positivt mottatt, men for å unngå at ombruks-rapportene blir liggende ulest, bør det stilles krav til at de publiseres og gjøres søkbare på nett. • Deltakerne ønsker at myndighetene stiller krav til faktisk ombruk, ikke bare til kartlegging. • Ombruk bør fremmes, ikke bare med regelverk, men med ulike typer insitamenter. Deltakerne foreslår for eksempel raskere og rimeligere byggesaksbehandling. • Deltakerne er fornøyde med endringene i byggevareforskriften (DOK) som medfører at bruker/kjøper har ansvar for å dokumentere kvaliteten på brukte byggevarer, istedenfor at selger har dette ansvaret. • Direktoratet for forvaltning og økonomistyring (DFØ) har laget en veileder for offentlige anskaffelser av bærekraftige bygg. Veilederen blir sett på som en viktig støtte for offentlige byggeieres miljøambisjoner. Store bykommuner har ofte egne konkurrerende veiledere, men DFØs veileder vil kunne bety mye for offentlige anskaffelser i mindre kommuner. • Deltakerne ønsker økt samarbeid mellom bestillere og utførere for å få til mer ombruk. Dialogkonferanser i forkant av bestillinger kan være en måte å få til dette, men intervjuene viste at dialogkonferanser var ukjent for mange av deltakerne. • Deltakerne ønsker seg en felles digital portal for ombruksvarer slik at man kan søke opp ombruksvarer på tvers av flere nettsider og tilbydere. En slik portal bør også tilgjengeliggjøre rapporter om ombrukskartlegging og opprette en database over donorbygg og mulige lagringssteder. • Deltakerne foreslår at byggevarehus som i dag selger nye byggevarer, også kan selge brukte. Det kan føre til at markedet for nye byggevarer vil avta noe, og markedet for dokumentasjon og vedlikehold av brukte byggematerialer vil øke. Da ville det også bli mer lagringsplass for brukte byggevarer. • Deltakerne er positive til støtteordningene som Enova har innført for ombruk. De er likevel bekymret for at man i for stor grad støtter planlegging og mulighetsstudier, mens det som trengs mest, er støtte til kostnader til faktisk ombruk. De foreslår at støttebeløp kan være basert på differansen mellom utgifter til nye materialer og utgifter som knyttes til ombruksvarer, der ombruk koster mer enn nye materialer. Konklusjon: Gruppeintervjuene viser en engasjert og motivert gruppe i byggebransjen som ønsker å gå i bresjen for økt ombruk i byggeprosjekter. Gruppas forståelse av vilkår for ombruk er derfor viktig for videre implementering. De mener at det offentliges føringer for ombruk i større grad bør handle om praktisk gjennomføring av ombruk, og i mindre grad om de byråkratiske sidene ved ombruk i byggeprosjekter. Samtidig utviser de forståelse for at føringer og støtte for planlegging og administrasjon av ombruk er et viktig skritt på veien for å få i gang markedet.

  I byggebransjen er det et bruk og kast-forhold til byggematerialer, og fremtidens bygningsmasse er allerede nådd. Økt bruk av ombruksmaterialer og en bærekraftig, sirkulær utvikling i byggebransjen, er essensielt for å bremse klimaendringene. I tråd med dette bør de miljøpsykologiske faktorene bak valg av ombruksmaterialer undersøkes nærmere. Blant annet er det funnet at hvordan ombruk av byggematerialer fremstår for kundene kan ha betydning for om det tør å satses på ombruksmaterialer i byggebransjen. Denne studien undersøker estetiske evalueringer av ombruksfasader og nybyggfasader ved bygg blant slike kunder. Hensikten er å se om informasjon om type fasademateriale påvirker evalueringen. Det ble gjort to spørreundersøkelser av norske kontorarbeidere, uten spesielle forkunnskaper om ombruk eller byggenæringen. Disse kan representere kunder av aktører i byggebransjen. I den ene undersøkelsen ble det informert om bildene var av ombruksmaterialer eller nye, mens det i den andre ikke ble informert om materialene. Resultatene fra statistisk analyse viste at kontorarbeidere som ble informert om fasadetype vurderte ombruksfasadene som mer vennlig, spennende, uvanlig og engasjerende enn de som ikke ble informert. Det var ikke kjønnsforskjeller innad i de to gruppene. Studien viser hvordan byggebransjen kan oppgi anvendelse av ombruksmaterialer for å fremme økt bruk av slike materialer.

  Climate change has led to an increased risk of damage to buildings and infrastructure. Norwegian municipalities have intensified their efforts to address climate change adaptation and the prevention of climate-related damage due to natural hazards. The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) has developed a so-called ‘Knowledge Bank’, which is a Norwegian web-based data platform containing information about risk and vulnerability related to natural events. The Knowledge Bank serves to compile civil protection data and makes these available to municipalities, providing them with an improved overview and knowledge about undesirable events and natural disasters as a basis for cost-benefit analysis, risk, and vulnerability assessments. The platform also includes data related to natural and weather-related damage derived from insurance companies. Previous research related to insurance data and the Knowledge Bank carried out at the Klima 2050 Centre has addressed attitudes to data sharing among insurance companies, the value of insurance data, and the potential to use these data to predict events. It has also addressed the municipalities' initial perceptions and experiences. Expectations linked to a new system for sharing insurance loss data in the Knowledge Bank are high, but several issues still need to be resolved before the system can be fully exploited. There is need to improve the understanding of key factors related primarily to data sharing and quality, as well as the relevant regulatory frameworks. This will enable insurance data to become available via the Knowledge Bank so that they can be utilized by municipalities in a way that will benefit wider society. This report presents the results of a study that addresses the critical factors required for the establishment of a new system allowing insurance companies to share insurance loss data with municipalities, using the Knowledge Bank platform.

  Økonomisk vanskeligstilte barnefamilier bor ofte trangt og uegnet, og bosituasjonen kan være til hinder for foreldrenes overgang til arbeid/aktivitet. Disse familiene kvalifiserer i utgangspunktet ikke til startlån i Husbanken. Kommunene har problemer med å finne egnede kommunale boliger å tilby. Familiene er også vanskeligstilt på leiemarkedet siden de med depositumsgaranti fra NAV og liten inntekt ikke er utleiernes førstevalg på det private leiemarkedet. Spesielt påvirkes barna av bomiljøet de vokser opp i, og det har innvirkning på hvordan det går med dem senere i livet. Kongsvinger kommune prøver ut boligmodellen "Eie først / Barna først" der familiene får hjelp fra kommunen til å kjøpe bolig. Denne studien undersøker hva denne boligmodellen betyr for familiene. Hovedmålet med prosjektet er å utvikle kunnskap om hvilken betydning selveid bolig har for livskvaliteten i lavinntektsfamilier. Dette vil gi innsikt i hvilke utfordringer lavinntektsfamilier har, og hvorvidt eller i hvilken grad selveid bolig påvirker grad av autonomi, livsmestring og framtidstro. Studien beskriver at familiene ikke bare er vanskeligstilte og sårbare med behov for støtte og tiltak, men at de også viser mot, vilje og handlingskraft til å bedre sine liv og sikre barna en best mulig framtid.

  Psykiske lidelser, særlig mildere psykiske lidelser som angst og depresjon, er svært utbredt og utgjør en nøkkelutfordring når det gjelder sykefravær og uførepensjonering. Derfor er det av stor samfunnsøkonomisk verdi å undersøke hva “universell utforming” av arbeidsplasser kan innebære for arbeidstakere med slike lidelser. Hovedmålet for dette prosjektet har vært å undersøke aspekter ved det fysiske miljøet på kontorarbeidsplasser som kan gjøre det lettere for mennesker med psykiske lidelser å være i eller komme tilbake til arbeid. Undersøkelsen har bestått av en gjennomgang av relevant forskning om utforming av kontorlokaler som reduserer stress og bidrar til bedre psykisk helse. I tillegg har vi intervjuet behandlere som jobber med å få psykisk syke arbeidstakere tilbake i jobb, og eksperter som jobber med forskning og konsulentvirksomhet for utforming av kontorlokaler.

  Formål: Denne rapporten oppsummerer resultatene fra en brukerevaluering av to nettsider for klimaservice som er under utvikling. Nettsidene gir informasjon om og veiledningsmateriell for klimatilpasning: en nettside om håndtering av overvann, Ovase (www.ovase.no), og en nettside om håndtering av skredrisiko, LaRiMiT (www.larimit.com). Metode: Tilbakemeldinger og innspill fra potensielle brukere er samlet inn gjennom gruppeintervjuer og plenumsdiskusjoner på temasamlinger i Klima 2050 i forbindelse med utviklingen av nettsidene, og gjennom intervjuer via video (Skype) i etterkant av samlingene. Tilbakemeldinger er også sendt på epost i etterkant av samlingene. Evalueringen bygger på tilbakemeldinger fra omtrent 20 aktører for hver av de to nettsidene. Resultater: Rapporten presenterer konkrete og detaljerte tilbakemeldinger fra potensielle brukere på innholdet i de to nettsidene slik de forelå når de ble testet, og brukernes ønsker for videreutvikling. Noen av funnene antas å ha generell overføringsverdi og være relevante også for andre nettsider for klimaservice: Brukerbehov: En generell utfordring med å utvikle nettsider for klimaservice er å inkludere brukerbehov. Det er lettere å fokusere på de tekniske løsningene og det faglige innholdet i en nettside eller en veileder, enn på brukernes behov. Omfattende kartlegging blant aktuelle brukergrupper er dyrt og tidkrevende, men kan være sentralt for bruken av en nettside. o Språk og nasjonal tilpasning er tema som har gått igjen i tilbakemeldingen på nettsidene her. En omfattende brukerundersøkelse i forkant kunne gitt svar på hvor mye disse valgene ville betydd for bruken av nettsidene. o Brukerne ønsker at nettsidene skal kunne brukes på forskjellige plattformer og at brukergruppe må tydeliggjøres. Mindre endringer i brukergrensesnitt er lettere å tilpasse underveis. o Mange potensielle brukere ønsker en prosjektbank med eksempler på tiltak for rassikring og overvannshåndtering, til inspirasjon og læring. o Brukerne ønsker og mener det er nødvendig med en interaktiv profil på nettsidene. Samtidig innser informantene at når brukerne selv kan legge innhold på nettsida, gir dette en rekke utfordringer med å opprettholde og kvalitetssikre innholdet. Det er likevel ønsket av brukerne. o Kritisk evaluering av tiltak for klimatilpasning er etterspurt av brukerne, men er samtidig sensitivt og vanskelig å håndtere på en nettside der brukerne skal være aktive formidlere av stoffet. Det er likevel ønsket av brukerne. Læring og holdningsendringer skapes i prosess/nettverk: Forskningslitteraturen peker ofte på at det er prosessene og nettverket rundt utviklingen av en nettside for klimaservice som fører til holdningsendringer og ny kunnskap, og ikke selve produktet. I utviklingen av en nettside bør man derfor legge mye mer av ressursene og kapasiteten i brukerundersøkelser, testing, nettverk og læringsarenaer for spredning av veiledningsmaterialet og nettsidene. • Forskningskonsortier med brukere som arena for utvikling av veiledningsmateriell: Det er en stor fordel at nettsider for klimaservice utvikles innen et konsortium/nettverk med forskere og offentlige- og private organisasjoner som arbeider med klimatilpasning. Dette er en ideell base for utvikling av denne typen nettsider. For å spre informasjonen om nettsidene videre utenfor dette konsortiet, er det viktig at det settes i gang kjeder av nettverk og læringsarenaer. Et eksempel på dette kan være kommunenettverk for klimatilpasning innad i et fylke. • Stabile eiere av klimaservice-nettsider: Offentlige organisasjoner er sentrale som stabile eiere og driftere av nettsider for klimaservice. Statlige aktører har et stort ansvar for å følge med på hverandres nettsider og veiledere, for å skaffe seg oversikt og hjelpe hverandre med å koordinere bruken. Større grad av koordinasjon mellom institusjonene som utvikler veiledningsmateriell, vil gjøre at man unngår å bruke ressurser på samme type eller lignende publikasjoner og nettsider. Videre forskning: Det utvikles stadig nye nettsider med veiledningsmateriell for klimatilpasning. Det er et kontinuerlig behov for å brukerteste denne typen nettsider. Det er også behov for å se nærmere på hvordan organisatoriske endringer og nettverk som læringsarena kan påvirke bruken av nye slike nettsider. Klima 2050 skal i årene framover følge utviklingen av DSB sin Kunnskapsbank som lanseres i 2020. Kunnskapsbanken 1 skal sammenstille nødvendig informasjon som kommunene trenger for å få til bedre klimatilpasning. Klima 2050 vil fortsette forskningen på klimaservice og nettsider.
