Coastal zone conflict management - the series

Trond Solem

The first initiative to analyze the complex problems in the coastal zone in Norway was undertaken by the Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities (NAVF) and its committee for Societal Planning in 1979.

Many of the pre-conditions were drawn in two reports separately produced by the Norwegian Institute for Water Resources (NIVA) in Oslo, and the Department of Landscape Planning and Spatial Planning at the Norwegian University for Life Sciences (UMB) (former NLH), at Aas.

The two institutions collaborated for about ten years, in training and education of public agencies along the Norwegian coastline and in establishing a series of scientific papers and reports under the heading of “Competing uses of coastal zone resources”.

20 papers and reports were published in the series during the years 1982 to 1992. Several papers discussed at that time very central matters, such as the questions of littoral and property rights along the coastline, as well as in the sea areas.
