This thesis is centered around the practice of administration of the beachprotectionline. Furthermore, it is centered on wether or not the environment centres are following the same practice as the countys did. The idea behind the projekt is based on the deflections that came from the structural reform.
On january 1st 2007, the stractural reform had its beginning; a reform of the public sector, which brought about the closing of the countys. Up until the structural reform, the administration of rural areas, was taken care of by the county’s, except the duneprotectionlines, which were administrated by the state. As a result of the structural reform, the administration of the rural areas lies with the municypalities, except the beachprotectionline and the duneprotectionline, which both are administrated by the the environment centres. Because of a widespread mistrust with the municipalities, Miljøministeriet has conducted af thorough review of the § 3-administration. This review came to the result that the municipalities are conducting the same practice as the countys. With this starting point, combined with the regulation of the municipalities through kvalitetsstyringsloven, it is chosen to focus on the environment centres under Naturstyrelsen.
This project therefore centres around investigating how the practice of administration of the beachprotectionline, and furthermore, if the environment centres under Naturstyrelsen, are following the same practice as the countys did. The practice of administration is determined through af discussion of Naturklagenævnets published decisions, ”Naturklagenævnet orienterer”, which revolves around the beachprotection from naturbeskyttelseslovens § 15. Through the discussion, the decisions are divided into the following categories; Cadastral changes, Buildingstructural changes, Fencing and signage, Trailers and likewise, Changes in terrain and Diverse.
Wether or not the environment centres are following the same practice as the countys did, is determined by investigating if the decisions made by the environment centres are similar to the decisions made by the countys. The result is compared to two reports, on of which, came up with definite changes in practice. These reports are respectively regarding the revision of the municipalties’ practice of administrations around the § 3-areas, and also another semesterreport regarding commercial signage in rural areas.
