Project: Towards a digitized social construction process.
The current research project deals with digitization of the community building process with the following focus: Study and analyze how property law can be developed to support a digital community building process and facilitate coordination between different review processes.
For that buildings with associated facilities and infrastructure must be able to be erected usually requires some form of land use planning as well as permits and permits in accordance with various statutes. In order to carry out such projects, property development as well as the transfer of land and the granting of rights are often required. The coordination between these different trials and processes is often unclear, and it happens that a certain activity or measure is granted a permit within the framework of a certain process but is prohibited in another. Lack of coordination between laws, processes and authorities can in this respect lead to unnecessary resources being invested during the review phase, which affects authorities as well as developers and individuals.
Previous studies have paid special attention to this coordination problem between planning and permit processes where land use issues are examined, and the subsequent implementation phase with property formation and assignment of rights. Lack of coordination between land use trials and property development / rights leases exists both in projects aimed at changing land use / exploitation and projects where the goal is instead the opposite, to protect and preserve valuable natural or cultural areas.
As part of the research project it is desirable that an international comparison is carried out, to examine how other countries work with digitization and coordination in the public construction sector. This step should include an overall study of the corresponding community building process in some selected countries, including the legal link between land use regulation and property development. How is development affected and controlled in a digitalisation perspective? As the Nordic countries are often considered to be at the forefront of digitalisation of the public sector, and also have great similarities in other respects in terms of political, economic, social and cultural factors, these countries should be included. It may also be appropriate to include other countries, where the selection can be decided after a small feasibility study.
To enable synchronization between different projects and government assignments that are ongoing in order to achieve a smarter community building process, the doctoral student must be actively acquires knowledge about the work that is carried out. This may, for example, apply to the issue of establishing a digital infrastructure for the exchange of information between authorities or work to achieve a national framework for basic data in public administration.
