Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research synthesis reports the main findings from a review of economic values associated with nature-based recreation in Sweden. The purpose of the work was to support policy and to identify areas for future research. Data came from over 150 scientific publications and other public sources. The authors find inter alia a lack of systematic data for several recreation activities (including naturebased tourism), a significant growth in the outdoor equipment industry and a relatively modest economic involvement by the public sector. The information is structured under different categories to illustrate the significance and range of different economic values. The authors conclude that there is a need for more comprehensive and systematically collected data, methodological development and interdisciplinary research.

Natural amenities and the regional distribution of nature-based tourism supply in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nature-based tourism is often perceived as one of the easiest and readily-available tools for regional development and diversification of rural economies, and Sweden is not an exception. Successful tourism development, however, depends on various amenities, which vary with region. This article, based on a national survey among nature-based tourism service providers in Sweden, discusses general characteristic of Swedish nature-based tourism supply, reveals the most important natural amenities from the supply perspective and discusses the patterns of their regional variation. It is further investigated how distributions of various amenities is related to the density of nature-based tourism operations across regions. The scope of the analysis includes three levels: country, land and county. Results show that nature-based tourism in Sweden is a highly diversified sector, which demonstrates significant north-south variations, visible on the level of the three lands. On the level of counties, natural and human-made amenities are comparable in their power to predict distribution of NBT operations, suggesting that the border between NBT and other forms of tourism is not as distinct as is often imagined.

Outdoor recreation in Sweden during and after the Covid-19 pandemic–management and policy implications
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journal of Environmental Planning and Management. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0964-0568 .- 1360-0559. ; 66:7, s. 1472-1493

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports results from three studies concerning outdoor recreation participation and trends during the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. The studies, undertaken at national, regional and local levels, used surveys, interviews and PPGIS approaches, to build a solid knowledge base. Results are analyzed with particular attention given to management and policy implications based on the following observations: increased outdoor recreation participation, changes in lifestyle and routines, new visitor profiles and activity trends, spatial changes, visitor displacement, spatial redistribution, and indications of post-pandemic outdoor recreation behavior. The Swedish case is of special interest because of high accessibility to nature areas and few restrictions to recreate in nature due to the pandemic. Hence, this study could serve as a reference for other countries with more Covid-19 related restrictions and less accessible nature for recreation.

Friluftsliv i förändring. Studier från svenska upplevelselandskap.
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- »Vistelser i naturen handlar inte i första hand om trädslagsblandning, fiskevatten, naturreservat och fjälltoppar – de utgör bara arenan. Vistelser i naturen handlar om människor!« Friluftsliv är en central del av det svenska upplevelselandskapet. Nästan 90 % av svenska folket vistas ute i naturen ganska eller mycket ofta. Med denna bok fördjupas friluftslivets förutsättningar och framtid med hjälp av resonemang om vad friluftsliv är och en uppsjö av intervjuer med tillfrågade friluftsutövare. Författarna undersöker bland annat rådande friluftstrender och barns möten med naturen, vilket väcker följdfrågor om friluftslivets roll för en hållbar utveckling. Boken beskriver hur våra liv förhåller sig till naturen såväl i ett vardagligt som ett mer akademiskt sammanhang. Vad innebär till exempel friluftsliv för förvaltning, ekonomi, naturturism och tätorternas människor? Antologin är en bearbetning av slutrapporten från forskningsprogrammet ”Friluftsliv i förändring” som pågick åren 2006–2013. De många vinklarna som presenteras över ämnet fördjupas av bokens 21 författare och friluftskännare som med en bredd tar sig an detta viktiga ämne som de flesta har ett förhållande till. Boken kompletteras dessutom med många natursköna illustrationer.

Managers' experiences of visitor monitoring in Swedish outdoor recreational areas
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism. - : Elsevier. - 2213-0780 .- 2213-0799. ; 14, s. 35-40

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Systematically collected information on outdoor recreation participation, motives and behaviors can improve recreation opportunities and reduce the risk of user conflicts. There are many uses of this type of information for managers of recreational areas including analyses of environmental, social and economic impacts, development of infrastructure, and marketing to appropriate audiences. One key component in building this knowledge is the application of visitor monitoring. This study takes an exploratory approach by analyzing managers' experiences on different on-site monitoring methods at 12 recreational areas in Sweden. Results show that knowledge of these methods and their use are strongly linked to individual managers' skills and competence. Contemporary changes in recreation behavior calls for more innovative monitoring approaches, but managers included in this study primarily work with rather traditional methods, which is likely representative of the overall situation in Sweden. Networking, educational programs and closer collaborations with universities could facilitate some of the challenges identified.Management implications● The study showed the relevance of improved visitor monitoring practices, and tailor-made monitoring guidelines, based on actual use and experience-based data.● Adequate visitor monitoring practices:- help to better incorporate recreation activities and values in natural resource management decisions,● increase the awareness of possible conflicts between recreational and other resource users,● show the possible need for increased management capacity, additional training or new ways of visitor management and provide a better foundation for decision making.

Approaches to foresight recreation and tourism in nature : Experiences from the Nordic Region

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter discusses approaches to do foresights in outdoor recreation and tourism in nature, based on research from the Nordic countries. This region has a long-standing reputation for promoting outdoor recreation, with associated policies aiming to support this tradition for the benefit of future generations and environmental engagement. To do so successfully, one key input is improving the knowledge of outdoor recreational participation, associated trends, and future development. In this chapter, we therefore review different monitoring approaches to trend analyses as a means of forecasting participation and discuss supplementary approaches to foresight in outdoor recreation. We operationalize the Nordic context through studies undertaken in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Our examination shows that the tradition of national surveys and on-site visitor monitoring has proven effective. However, contemporary changes in society call for additional approaches to better understand future outdoor recreation. We therefore share experiences from several different approaches to foresight in outdoor recreation. This will inform future research as well as managers, entrepreneurs, planners and policymakers in their decision-making.
