Information complémentaire

How can the site contribute to a productive city?

Guovdageaidnu is a small town in Northern Norway with a strong Sámi indigenous identity. It is located along the river Guovdageaineatnu and integrated with reindeer winter pastures. The main industry in Guovdageaidnu is Sámi reindeer husbandry and processing of reindeer meat, antlers, skin and bones that are used in traditional food and handicrafts, duodji. Out of these embedded practices, a new scene is evolving with 1000 individual entrepreneurs on the break to cooperate. Guovdageaidnu is a forerunner in Norwegian education, on all levels from kindergarten to high school, and Diehtosiida hosts science and research institutions including the Sami University of Applied Sciences. How can the community capitalize on traditional know-how and self-reliance combined with advanced education, ICTs and high tech solutions?

Municipal strategy

Guovdageaidnu municipality has recently entered a state-owned program for industrial and commercial restructuring in the municipality. This means that the municipality will focus on establishing and funding projects that can help facilitate more jobs in the private sector. In 2017 the municipality adopted a plan for the town centre Márkan. This plan has proved to be difficult to use as a tool for the purpose of industrial and commercial restructuring. This is partly because the plan does not offer attractive plots for new business initiatives. The municipality acknowledges that there is a need to change the ways of local planning to include Sámi values and traditions. The municipality looks for alternative approaches to planning that encompass new readings of the landscape and the abundant diversity of local initiatives.

Site definition

Sápmi crosses the borders of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Guovdageaidnu is a periphery in Norway, but an important centre in the circumpolar area and Sápmi, and it is a world centre for reindeer herders in the circumpolar area. Guovdageaidnu is a stronghold for Sámi language and tradition, a language which embeds the knowledge and practice necessary to operate in the reindeer husbandry. This is a strong practice with ancient roots, based on a holistic understanding of the landscape. Still, this is a guiding principle for the land use in Finnmark. When you arrive in Guovdageaidnu, you will notice the town Márkan as a settlement which is recessed in the flat tundra landscape, like a ‘bowl’. The town centre appears as buildings in an unstructured distribution along a 2 km long segment of the road, E45. The study area must be seen as a field of discoveries and new connections. How can the landscape constitute new guiding principles for planning in Guovdageaidnu?

How is production inserted in the urban diversity programme?

Guovdageaidnu is an extraordinary place which needs a careful reading of the culture and the landscape. Europan Norway entered Guovdageaidnu with a call for texts about ‘The Way of Life in Guovdageaidnu,’ which have become a collection of 15 texts in ‘Voices from Guovdageaidnu.’
The community have combined their efforts in providing a reader on their town and culture. Can this collaborative style be the beginning of a more balanced relation between Sámi culture and Norwegian planning? The modern relationship between the Sámi population and the Norwegian state was formed in the wake of conflictual circumstances in the 1970s and 80s when the Alta-Guovdageaidnu river was regulated despite massive protests. In 1989 The Sámi Parliament was founded in Karasjok, and The Sámi University of Applied Sciences was founded in Guovdageaidnu. Several initiatives which started in the 80s lived on to become international networks which gave Guovdageaidnu a position as a stronghold for the Sami culture and language. The state operates in Guovdageaidnu today, and a new co-localization project for The Sámi National Theatre Beivváš and the Sámi High School is at the doorstep. In this context, the municipality is now looking for ways to reinvigorate and shape futures for new businesses and technologies in Márkan, the centre of Guovdageaidnu.
The municipality introduces 6 momentums into this scheme:
1) Industrial and commercial restructuring.
2) A new tourism agenda in the making.
3) Creative networks and activities.
4) Public services and education.
5) A new strategy for attractive housing.
6) Strengthening Sámi Culture and World Heritage.
Europan enters Guovdageaidnu at a time when all these momentums are emerging. Can the competition visualize ideas for a series of smaller interventions and larger projects that together can renew the economical and social productiveness in Guovdageaidnu?

Questions à propos du site

What heights do the contour lines in the dxf map signify? Are they 1m, 0,5m or 0,25m contours?

Is it possible to put new and different activities in the Kba1 area?

The following images from 0-New_Docs_after_Launch of the COMPLETE SITE FOLDER seem to be broken: NO-Guovdageiadnu-Juhls-PS-P2.JPG NO-Guovdageiadnu-Juhls-PS-P8.JPG Would it be possible to re-upload these?

 

The pictures have been fixed and re-uploaded to the complete site folder.

After downloading `the new docs after launch` the folder appears to be empty. Could it be win/mac issue?

 

Also, knowing the deadline has already past, I would still like to raise a couple of questions, not expecting an answer:

 

- How much water level is rising in spring? Is flooding an issue and is there a flood line marked somewhere in competition documents?

 

- How many people work in the snowmobile stores and what is the size of the business? Is there a repair shop or how the maintenance run?

 

Thank you.

 

 

The files are still uploaded to the complete site folder. 

In relation to the flooding levels, on page 23 of the Brief, you can find a map showing the Flood-prone areas. There has been also uploaded a new map showing the different water levels in the river of Guovdageaidnu.  You can find the file -NO-Guovdageaidnu-PS-M33- in the complete site folder, under 0-New_docs_after_launch.

 

Regarding the snowmobile stores, there are two different ones.

Isan, which operates as a sole business (e. I.) with around 5-8 employees.

 

The second company -Dvs - has around 10 employees in the snowmobile and ATV industry. All of them work both in sales, repairs and maintenance.

Multiplier et relier les organismes

FAIRE ÉVOLUER LES MÉTABOLISMES
Un nouvel équilibre doit être trouvé entre les relations, les processus, les flux et les forces multiples des sites qui sont grands et comportent une diversité d'acteurs (humains et non-humains) avec des cycles à long et à court terme, et d’importantes implications écologiques, économiques et territoriales.

Multiplier et relier les organismes
En définissant et reliant les futurs organismes concernant l’air, l’eau, le sol, les inondations, les programmes, les activités et les usagers, et de nouvelles couches de fonctions, une croissance équilibrée peut naître sur ces sites. La conception finale sera plus que juste la somme d'économies urbaines circulaires.
