Ydre revisited - The Political Construction of Transitional Local Economies
Project description, Swedish
Vad som betraktas som landsbygd beror på samhällets struktur och sammanhang vid en viss tid. Omställningen från jordbruk till
industrisamhälle förändrade förutsättningarna för landsbygdens produktion och möjligheten att leva där. Detta synliggjordes i
Hägerstrands studie i Ydre i södra Östergötland ”Innovationsförloppet ur korologisk synpunkt” från 1953. Idag står vi på tröskeln till
informationssamhället och landsbygden förändras igen. Den moderna ekonomismen som norm gör att landsbygden halkar efter och
att målet hållbar utveckling blir svår genomförbart.

vi till Ydre och i likhet med Hägerstrand sträva efter att utveckla nya modeller för att förstå utveckling ur ett tidsrumsligt perspektiv.
Projektet syftar till att utveckla nya modeller för att förstå vad som betraktas som utveckling i analyser av såväl som praktiker kring
landsbygdsutveckling, för att visa på alternativa politisk-ekonomiska sätt att nå ekologisk, social och ekonomisk integrerad hållbar
utveckling.
Studien består av en kvantitativ rumslig analys kombinerad med hushållsstudier av dagligt liv. Analyserna utvecklar gemensamt nya
modeller och att överbrygga klyftan mellan aktörs- och struktur perspektiv kring utveckling i allmänhet och landsbygdsutveckling i
synnerhet. Studien strävar att nå bortom den konventionella ekonomiska teorin kring utveckling genom att reducera, eller till och med
eliminera, skillnaden mellan mikro- och makroanalyser, så som Hägerstrand gjorde.
Project description, English
Processes of change, or what is popular known as development, focus on productivity, and concentration of (industrial) economic
activities, mainly measured in monetary terms. In such a view, it is understandable that arguments concerning the economic and
demographic decline of rural areas are regarded as an inevitable part in this process of change, and also considered as a social,
economic and political problem. On the threshold to an information society rural area meet new challenges as in the shift from the
agrarian to an industrial society as Hägerstrand showed in his pioneering (1953) study of Ydre.
Building on Hägerstrand’s empirical and conceptual work, this project aims to elaborate and develop a conceptual model, useful in
analyses that can contribute to alternative development strategies in a rural context. The project will thereby enhance alternative
political-economic analytical tools and strategies to achieve a sustainable sound integrated social, economic, and ecological
development process.
The study combines qualitative and quantitative data to develop alternative conceptual development model(s) for integrated
sustainable rural development and new ways and means of thinking can bridge the gap between structural and actor-oriented
perspectives. And in turn, reach beyond conventional economic rationale and thereby reduce (or even remove) the mismatch
between (economic) micro- and macro analyses.

SECTOR RELEVANCE
Sector relevance
Forskningsprojektet fokuserar hur utveckling kan och kanske även bör betraktas i relation till landsbygdsutveckling och hållbar
utveckling. Projektet kommer att utifrån tidsrumsliga analyser utveckla och debattera alternativa sätt att se på utveckling som
jämbördigt inkluderar såväl ekologiska, sociala och ekonomiska aspekter. Studien är i sig en uppföljning av Hägerstrands studie i
Ydre som presenterades 1953 och gav oss industrisamhällets modeller för innovationsspridning. I detta projekt återvänder vi till Ydre,
där kommunen och andra redan engagerats i projektet, för kvalitativa och kvantitativa studier. De ser möjligheter att hämta
inspiration för modellutveckling som pekar på den politiska konstruktionen av ekonomin och därmed av alternativa synsätt på
utveckling i landsbygds perspektiv.
Studiens empiriska delar kommer explicit att ha betydelse för utveckling och självreflektion i den studerade kommunen och ge viktiga
bidrag till lokalt utvecklingsarbete på landsbygden. Därtill kommer generaliserbara modeller och förhållningssätt ge tydliga politiska
implikationer för landsbygdsutveckling och lokal politik på i allmänhet och ge återkopplingar och förståelser för utveckling i relation till
hållbar utveckling. Projektet kommer att presenteras både i vetenskapliga och mer allmänna sammanhang då de medverkande
forskarna har stor erfarenhet och intresse av sådan resultatåterkoppling och kunskapsutveckling.

POPULAR SCIENCE DESCRIPTION
Popularscience heading and description (max 4500 char)
Vad som betraktas som ses som landsbygd är olika både på när, av vem och var det betraktas. Omställningen från jordbruk till
industrisamhälle förändrade förutsättningarna för landsbygdens produktion och möjligheten att leva där. Idag står vi på tröskeln till ett
informationssamhälle och landsbygden förändras igen, men på andra sätt.
I den offentliga debatten sägs att landsbygden halkar efter och måste få stöd. Men det sägs också att ett gott liv är så mycket mer än
det som kan räknas i kronor och ören. Det argumentet återkommer i vitt skilda sammanhang, i diskussioner om resurser i
barnomsorg på svensk landsbygd som när det gäller "biståndsprojekt" på landsbygden i andra länder.
Idag så präglas samhällsdebatten av ekonomiska begrepp som försvårar möjligheterna att nå andra politiska mål som hållbar
utveckling och en levande landsbygd. Ambitionen att tänka bortom de ekonomiska begreppen verkar dock vara utbredd, men
försöken att göra annorlunda är trevande. Kronor och budgetar är än så länge normen för den politiska styrningen av samhället. Det
betalda arbetet blir då också normen. I den politiska debatten krävs därför åtgärder mot arbetslöshet. Sysselsättningsmålet ses som
fasta arbeten som betalas med lön. Men vem arbetar egentligen? På landsbygden är detta annorlunda både i enskilda hushåll och i
samhället som sådant.
Detta påtalade den internationellt erkända svenska geografen Torsten Hägerstrand i sin banbrytande studie om innovationsspridning
redan 1953. Han gjorde denna studie till stor del i Ydre kommun i södra Östergötland. Studien kartlade och analyserade vad
människor gjorde och använde teknik i sin vardag samt hur marken och platserna användes. I denna studie skall vi återvända till
samma plats för att på nytt studera landsbygdens förändring. Idag kommer vi dock att se andra former av utveckling och på så sätt
så kommer vi kunna utmana vedertagna vetenskapliga modeller på nya sätt.
Därför kommer detta projekt att återvända till Ydre och i likhet med Hägerstrand sträva efter att utveckla nya modeller för att förstå
utveckling ur ett tidsrumsligt perspektiv. Forskningsprojektet syftar till att utveckla nya modeller för att förstå vad som betraktas som
utveckling i analyser av såväl som praktiker kring landsbygdsutveckling, för att visa på alternativa politisk-ekonomiska

sätt att nå ekologisk, social och ekonomisk integrerad hållbar utveckling.
Forskningsprojektet består av två typer av fältstudier i Ydre. I den första delstudien kommer vi att utgå från statistik från kommunen
och andra organisationer för att beskriva och illustrera förändringar på orten över närmare ett sekel. Hägerstrand studerade på
1950-talet spridningen av telefonen, bilen och bankgirot. Vi planerar att analysera bredbandstillgången, användning av Internet och
hur och var man reser. Den andra delstudien studerar människors vardag utifrån tidsdagböcker samt djup-intervjuer i grupper och
med enskilda. Med utgångspunkt från dessa studier kommer utveckling i allmänhet, och det som betraktas som hållbar utveckling i
synnerhet, att kunna diskuteras i nya och bredare perspektiv.
En konsekvens av de här resonemangen är att marknaden och ekonomin sägs styra politikens handlingsutrymme. I Sveriges riksdag
beslutas att höjningar av vissa ersättningar skall göras när ekonomin så tillåter. I det här forskningsprojektet vill vi som
samhällsforskare vända på perspektiven utifrån nya tids-rumsliga perspektiv. Vi vill föra denna diskussion med policyskapare på alla
samhällets nivåer och även med människor i allmnhet för att kunna se landsbygden och vardagen där i nya perspektiv. Sannolikt
kommer dock olika intresse organisationer och lokala utvecklingsgrupper att vara särskilt intresserade av våra resultat.
När ekonomin ses som något neutralt som kan mätas och räknas, döljs många aktiviteter vilka människor värderar för sitt vardagliga
så väl som långsiktigt välbefinnande. Det måste finnas ett annat sätt att se på vad människor värderar och dess betydelser för vad
som ses som utveckling. Vi som kommer att genomföra forskningsprojektet har tidigare brottats med snarlika problem då vi velat ta
våra analyser mycket längre än vad tillgängliga teorier låtit oss göra.

Ydre revisited
- The Political Construction of Transitional Local Economies
Ass. Prof. Elin Wihlborg Linköping University

Introduction
When entering a post-industrial information society, we take a new step of contemporary
change, after the move from an agrarian to an industrial society. Processes of change, or what
is popular known as development, focus on productivity, and concentration of (industrial)
economic activities, mainly measured in monetary terms. In such a view, it is understandable
that arguments concerning the economic and demographic decline of rural areas are regarded
as an inevitable part in this process of change, and also considered as a social, economic and
political problem. However, there are essential values, often concealed or even excluded in
conventional monetary analyses, which are fundamental for a sustainable life in rural areas.
In general, rural areas are connected to the rest of the economy, and thereby also constantly
undergoing changes. As shown by Wihlborg’s studies of IT-infrastructure implementation in
peripheral parts of Sweden, rural areas have the capacity to be an important and vital part of the
new Swedish economic landscape.1 Similarly, Assmo’s studies of rural development in
developing countries display that rural areas have the possibility to be in the forefront of new
alternative routes to achieve sustainable integrated ecological, social and economic development processes.2 In general, rural life in different parts of the world displays significant
similarities, with a need to challenge the meanings and values of the conventional economistic
norm and ask for new alternative conceptual approaches for rural development.
Every time period has specific spatial challenges, and includes modes of transition that are time
and space specific. Certain periods and situations appear to influence societal change more than
others. The change from an agrarian to industrial society in Ydre was the grounds for Torsten
Hägerstrand’s conceptual work focusing on the diffusion of innovation and related economic
changes. In this pioneering work Innovationsförloppet ur korologisk synpunkt published in
19533, Hägerstrand developed spatial modelling with interpretations of place and time-spatial
perspectives, which laid the fundamental grounds for time-geography and theories on diffusion
of innovations.
However, to grasp the social and political economic changes in rural areas on thresholds to the
sustainable information society we need a conceptual construction and strategic model

reaching beyond the conventional urbanised economic norms and monetary values. Thus this
project will return to both the place of and the basic conceptual approaches of Hägerstrand’s
study.
Aim and objectives
Building on Hägerstrand’s empirical and conceptual work, this project aims to elaborate and
develop a conceptual model, useful in analyses that can contribute to alternative development
strategies in a rural context. The project will thereby enhance alternative political-economic
analytical tools and strategies to achieve a sustainable sound integrated socio-, economic-, and
ecological development process.
The project focuses and is organised around three research questions:
- Q1. The study applies an aggregated approach to explore the time-spatial changes of naturaland human resource use in Ydre. And, in relation, which political-economic strategies can be
found in the community? Using an aggregated approach for illustration and analysis, the
project will in this section strive to use and develop GIS applications and statistical modelling.
- Q2. The study also applies an household approach to explore and analyse meanings of daily
practices for development. How and why are activities related to development and a good life,
trust, social networks and citizenship. The household approach focuses on how contemporary
changes in rural areas are built together and given meanings through everyday practices.
- Q3. The study develops a conceptual time-spatial approach that attempts to answer what, how
and why the findings can be interpreted as sound integrated sustainable rural development, and
thereby be used as a conceptual model that reaches beyond the conventional monetary
meanings of development.
Realisation an methodological approach
Today, geographers know about the internationally recognised time-space approach developed
by Hägerstrand, but there are potential and capacity for fruitfulness further development.4 This
study of rural development revisits both Hägerstrand’s field work area in Ydre and Kinda and
his conceptual modelling of development. The in-depth field studies take off from his work in
the same area combined with contemporary theories on economic-political development. The
project will design indicators relating to Hägerstrand’s 1953 study of innovations such as the
car, the telephone and bank payment transfer (bankgirot). We will in a similar comparative
manner focus on rural migration patterns, and current innovations such as broad band, Internet
banking and public transport systems.
The empirical work will be approached through combined quantitative and qualitative
methods.5 The quantitative part consists of analyses of available and combined statistical
material. This component will take place in collaboration with ÖSTSAM and the local
municipality using GIS illustrations and analysis. The qualitative part consists of in-depth field
studies in households in Ydre, and especially the parish of Asby. It builds on the well

developed time-geographical studies of daily life and based on a combination of time-diaries,
deep interviews and focus groups in households.6
The time-spatial boundary of the study provides an opportunity to visualise and analyse how,
why and by whom certain processes of change appear, and its relation to internal and external
influences. In the interaction between the knowledge about people’s daily life, and aggregated
data of population, economic activities and political structures, the analyses can reveal the
interplay between actors and structures to understand processes of change in time and space in
rural contexts. By following in the footsteps of Hägerstrand previous studies, this project can
follow the processes of change in the local community during an entire century, and thereby
provide a comprehensive knowledge about the local area, its people, companies and
organisations can be revealed and analysed, which in turn will provide a unique possibility to
make analyses that visualise the hidden resources and reaches beyond the conventional
monetary norms of development. 7
The project intends to work in close collaboration with local actors in the region and Ydre
Municipality. The project proposal is also already discussed and anchored in the municipal
board and local organisations.8 The regional council ÖSTSAM is currently developing
extensive statistical data bases for the Östergötland region. A reference group of local policy
actors will also be formed to validate the policy relevance of the project.9
Conceptual grounds and analytical approaches
Hägerstrand’s models opened for alternative constructive approach of how to analyse and
physically anchoring social processes, and thus also development.10 By considering social
contexts as rural, the territorial aspects are indeed present and have a defining power.
Hägerstrand’s realistic focus of what actually takes place marks out an ontological perspective
on sustainable development as physical based and given.11 An in-depth time-space approach on
individual as well as societal structures in a specific rural community we will take hold on and
thereby challenge the inconsistency of ecological and monetary economic development.
Hägerstrand’s models also provide tools to combine time-space and visualizes that ecological
sustainable processes are extended over time, in contrast to what is considered as sustainable
economic development – growth in monetary terms – that compresses time and extend in space
to reach the most comparative advantages for production and consumption.
The rural context of Ydre and the impressive time-perspective provides unique inputs to such
an analysis. Local rural communities are shown to be slower and socially embedded as shown
not at least in studies of slow food, local agricultural production and agro-tourism.12 The
statistical analysis based on detailed and local description of rural development will contrast
6
Hägerstrand’s methods have been developed by scholars such as Ellegård, Nordell, Wihlborg (see footnote 4).
Hägerstrand’s studies cover the first half of the last century and this study will add on the second half.

The municipal management and the mayor Inga Lindgren-Arnell has expressed great interest in the study.

Ass Prof. Wihlborg co-ordinates the networks of mayors and municipal managers (kommunchefer) in the
Östergötland region and this project will continuously be presented and discussed in that context.

and challenge theories of development through concentration.13 Thus our analytical ambition is
to develop a time-spatial grounded model anchoring economic meanings in sustainable
ecological pre-request by bridging over the micro-macro divide. The analysis of the household
study focus on experienced constraints and resources.14 The householders’ interpretations of a
good life, it’s organisation in the interface of nature, local politics, structures, personal values
and norms to reach development beyond the economic norm. Daily life in rural areas is local
and the meanings of trust, citizenship and social networks becomes embedded in what
Hägerstrand calls "pockets of local order"15. Presence and meanings of differences as gender,
class, ethnicity etc are made up in the local and inter-connected through the construction of the
rural life style and individuality, where valuations and meanings of development can be
expected to go even further beyond the monetary norm.16
Time and Work Plan
The research project will be conducted in close relation and collaboration with the community
as well as the municipality and the regional council ÖSTSAM.17 The participating researchers
also have extensive national and international networks among scholars in different academic
disciplices that will act as a social and academic context for the progress of the research.18

that 15 years experience of international practical and academic work focusing on rural
development in Africa. Dr Assmo has recently also conducted research focusing on the
development of the creative industry in Sweden.
Possible Results
The collaborative and process-oriented approach of the project will generate continuous results
that can be communicated, debated and discussed in academia and in the public political arena.
The project shed light on the need and possibilities of alternative conceptual development
model(s) for integrated sustainable rural development. A possible result of new ways and
means of thinking can bridge the gap between structural and actor-oriented perspectives. And
in turn, reach beyond conventional economic rationale and thereby reduce (or even remove) the
mismatch between (economic) micro- and macro analyses. The political ambition could be, if
the conceptual tools become available, to analyse and value people’s everyday norms and
activity patterns in different ways, and thereby avoid inadequate stereotyped standard reforms.
Presentation of Results
Apart from debates and presentations at various organisations in Sweden the discussions and
debate that is yielded from the research process will be formally presented in research papers
presented at international conferences, as well as in the production of a number of research
articles. Possible conferences to present the material can be ”Governments and Communities in
partnership”, arranged by Centre for Public Policy, Melbourne University, Nordiska
kommunforskar konferensen, Nordic Environmental Social Science, Western Political Science
Association, and the International Geographical Union. Possible academic journals for
publication include: Journal of Sustainable Development, Capital Nature Socialism, Journal of
Rural Studies, Social Indicators Research, Geografiska Annaler, and Antipode.
Throughout the project period, re-linking to actors in rural areas and other stakeholders will be
an important part of the study. Progress and results constructed throughout the process will
continuously be presented to and discussed with different groups of practioners and citizens in
Ydre. The outcome of the project will also be presented in media debates, articles and debates
as well as a popular oriented debate book.
