1.	Belgrano, Andrea, et al. (author) Mapping and Evaluating Marine Protected Areas and Ecosystem Services: A Transdisciplinary Delphi Forecasting Process Framework 2021 In: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2296-701X. ; 9 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are an important tool for management and conservation and play an increasingly recognised role in societal and human well-being. However, the assessment of MPAs often lacks a simultaneous consideration of ecological and socio-economic outcomes, and this can lead to misconceptions on the effectiveness of MPAs. In this perspective, we present a transdisciplinary approach based on the Delphi method for mapping and evaluating Marine Protected Areas for their ability to protect biodiversity while providing Ecosystem Services (ES) and related human well-being benefits – i.e., the ecosystem outputs from which people benefit. We highlight the need to include the human dimensions of marine protection in such assessments, given that the effectiveness of MPAs over time is conditional on the social, cultural and institutional contexts in which MPAs evolve. Our approach supports Ecosystem-Based Management and highlights the importance of MPAs in achieving restoration, conservation, and sustainable development objectives in relation to EU Directives such as the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive (MSPD), and the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
2.	Carsten, Hobohm, et al. (author) Land Use Change and the Future of Biodiversity 2021 In: Perspectives for Biodiversity and Ecosystems. - Cham : Springer. - 2214-2827 .- 2214-2835. - 9783030577094 ; , s. 451-483 Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract This synthesis report is a meta-analysis of perspectives for biodiversity and ecosystems, with a strong focus on human impacts on the environment, and a work order to enable and manage the protection, survival and evolution of all species on Earth. The goal is to protect nature without any further species loss (Zero Extinction). With this report, we assess alarming signals from the environment; determine the needs of threatened biota and the required actions to manage and protect landscapes and ecosystems; and identify some inescapable tendencies, challenges but also possibilities. The story of humans on Earth is at a critical juncture. Human behaviour is inherently dependent on physical and societal relations, including orientation and positioning within the physical environment. There is no single cultural benefit that is independent of provisioning through ecosystem services. Humans are part of the environment, acquire all needs from it and, as such, depend on its integrity and management for life and well-being. Moreover, if human impacts to the environment continue to increase the risk of rebound effects impacting human life and health will increase as well. Whenever a biome, ecosystem, habitat or species is heavily impacted or threatened with irreversible transformation or extinction, prevailing environmental conditions are relevant and should be observed, analysed and remedied as necessary and where possible. Ecology examines the evolutionary, historical and more recent interplay between biological life and the abiotic environment, while the role of social science and the humanities is to question the physical and social landscape, and how and why it should be protected or influenced, e.g. by nature conservation measures under political and economic, ethical and legal considerations. Thus, for all inter-relationships between natural and sociocultural processes, a joint venture in the form of social-ecological thinking is necessary to combine natural sciences and the humanities. With this contribution, we combine ecological knowledge with social science knowledge (s.l.) through the participation of scientists of many different disciplines. We analyse history and current processes to assess risks, threats and possibilities, and call for an array of regulations and measures that can contribute to halting of biodiversity loss and that assist in achieving a sustainable future. Regulations comprise creativity, cultural incentives, social norms, environmental education and economic investments—such as payments for sustainable agriculture, forestry, and fishery; investments in water, soil and air purity; and much clearer and stronger legal restrictions and consequences around waste streams and environmental degradation. Moreover, a gradual change from profit-oriented economies in the short-run to environmentally-sensitive policies that include systematic environmental programmes in the long term might help to decrease pressure on ecosystems and biota. Such economics might also include the real costs of consumerism, including the impacts of particular products on the environment and on human health. The greatest hurdle for the continued existence of many critically endangered species is the impact of widespread anthropogenic-driven change in the usage of water, air and land, and industry intensification in agriculture, aquaculture, forestry, urbanisation, transportation and mining sectors. However, there is not one simple solution to solve these issues. We conclude that many of the current developments have to be adjusted or gradually altered in a step-wise manner, especially with respect to existing sociocultural behaviours. Therefore, various concepts, decisions and measures should be discussed and implemented at all scales from local to supranational and among researchers, practitioners and politicians.
3.	Aguayo, Claudio, et al. (author) Contextualizando el uso de tecnologías inteligentes móviles para el monitoreo y educación de visitantes [Contextualising the use of smart mobile technologies for visitor monitoring and education] 2019 In: XI SOCIETUR [Chilean Society for Tourism Research] Conference 2019, 24-26 April, Punta Arenas, Chile: SOCIETUR. - Santiago : XI SOCIETUR [Chilean Society for Tourism Research]. Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract Con una expansión de la recreación al aire libre y el desarrollo del turismo en muchos países hoy en día, el monitoreo de visitantes y la educación pueden considerarse como dos partes integrales de la gestión recreativa contemporánea. El monitoreo de visitantes se refiere a la documentación profesional de actividades recreativas y comportamiento en contextos de áreas recreativas. Esto se ha convertido en una tarea de gestión cada vez más importante para garantizar que los intereses y las experiencias recreativas de los visitantes se incluyan en diversas políticas y estrategias de gestión (Hansen, 2016). La educación de los visitantes, por otro lado, se refiere a cómo las áreas recreativas pueden ofrecer importantes oportunidades de aprendizaje experiencial para la educación relevante basada en el contexto local. La educación dirigida a los visitantes puede complementar y reforzar las experiencias al aire libre, pudiendo ser una forma importante de promover objetivos de sostenibilidad, como la adaptación local al cambio climático (Lück, 2015). Las estrategias de monitoreo y educación de los visitantes se han establecido y utilizado durante mucho tiempo en la gestión de diferentes contextos recreativos en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, el uso de nuevas tecnologías inteligentes para propósitos de monitoreo y educación ha recibido poca atención. Actualmente hay muy poca información disponible sobre el uso potencial de la tecnología móvil, como teléfonos inteligentes y tablets, para fines de monitoreo y educación dentro de contextos de áreas recreativas. La tecnología móvil puede ofrecer muchas opciones novedosas para actividades de monitoreo pasivo y activo de visitantes (Ahas et al., 2010). Del mismo modo, las tecnologías de aprendizaje móvil de hoy en día ofrecen herramientas y posibilidades sin precedentes para complementar y reforzar las experiencias de aprendizaje recreativo al aire libre. Además, éste proceso puede conllevar y una adaptación del aprendizaje a las temáticas relevantes a nivel local, incluyendo elementos culturalmente significativo (Aguayo, 2016). Sin embargo, este tipo de aplicación de las tecnologías móviles inteligentes sigue siendo un área poco explorada de investigación y desarrollo, sobre todo en el área de gestión turística. Desde este proyecto en curso, se propone un marco teórico conceptual inicial para el uso de tecnologías móviles inteligentes para el monitoreo y educación de visitantes en contextos recreacionales. Éste marco se ha desarrollado originalmente a partir de los contextos de turismo de mar costero en Suecia y Nueva Zelanda, encontrándose aún en etapa de conceptualización. En esta sesión se presentará el proyecto, incluyendo indicadores tempranos propuestos por actores en gobernanza y gestión de destinos turísticos de Suecia y Nueva Zelanda que han definido el marco teórico; y en segunda parte se llevará a cabo una breve sesión interactiva de lluvia de ideas para recoger las ideas y propuestas que surjan desde la audiencia en torno a la aplicación del marco teórico en el contexto de la Patagonia y otros destinos, según los presentes.
4.	Axelsson, Anna, et al. (author) Citizen science as a tourist attraction: an active learning tourist experience 2022 In: Tourism, Knowledge and Learning Conceptual Development and Case Studies. Edited By: Eva Maria Jernsand, Maria Persson, Erik Lundberg. - London and New York : Routledge. - 9781003293316 ; , s. 92-112 Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract One potential example of science tourism (as discussed in chapter 3) is citizen science. Axelsson and Hansen present this concept in chapter 7 and make connections to the tourism industry. Specifically, the authors show how an active use of citizen science has many positive characteristics and potentials that could be applied to create attractive tourism experiences. The authors exemplify this application in tourism with two cases: one on the use of tourist-produced pictures of important experience qualities, helping both scientific and management practices, and one on local beach cleaning activities and their educational potential.

6.	Glette, Vidar, et al. (author) Kartläggning och analys av friluftslivet i kustzonen (i Göteborgsregionen, Orust och Uddevalla) 2020 Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract Kartläggning och analys av friluftslivet i kustzonen är ett arbete som utgör del i projektet Mellankommunal kustzonsplanering i Göteborgsregionen, Orust och Uddevalla som under perioden 2016–2019 drivits av Göteborgsregionen (GR). Syftet med projektet var att etablera en fördjupad samverkan mellan kommuner, myndigheter och andra relevanta aktörer för att uppnå en hållbar utveckling av kust- och havsområdet i de åtta deltagande kommunerna. Inom projektet togs det 2019 fram en fördjupad strukturbild för kustzonen med gemensamma överenskommelser för hur kustzonen ska bevaras och utvecklas från Uddevalla i norr till Kungsbacka i söder. Som del i det tidigare arbetet gjordes det också en analys av befintligt planeringsunderlag och prioritering av vilka saknade underlag som det fanns behov av att ta fram. Denna föreliggande rapport har sitt ursprung i resultat av den prioriteringen och utifrån en viktig filosofi om att man inte kan planera för en aktivitet eller ett ämne man inte vet någonting om. Det förste man måste göra är att bygga en kunskapsbas, som kan används i planeringsarbetet som underlag för att träffa kvalificerade beslut – precis som i alla andra beslutstagendeprocesser.
7.	Haukeland, Jan Vider, et al. (author) Scandinavian National Parks moving from the mountain to the coast – is the management designed to handle the visitation pressure and the tourism industry interests? 2017 In: Proceedings for the International Congress on Coastal and Marine Tourism (CMT2017). Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract The focus in this paper is the management of nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation activities in coastal national parks in Norway, with Ytre Hvaler and Færder National Parks in Norway and Kosterhavet National Park in Sweden as case areas. National parks in the two countries have typically been localized in rural and remote alpine and forest regions, whereas coastal landscapes have been underrepresented. The research question we address is how well designed the coastal national park management system, with its jurisdiction, management regulations, management plans, professional competences, financial and staff resources at hand, etc., is to handle the large and diverse visitation pressure as well as various tourism industry interests. In 2009, the first coastal national park in Norway, Ytre Hvaler National Park, was established in southeastern Norway and in tandem with the launching of the neighboring coastal Kosterhavet National Park on the Swedish side of the national border. Færder National Park, a coastal national park localized on the western side of the outer Oslofjord, was inaugurated in 2013. The three national parks have a series of common features, as they comprise similar types of ragged coastal landscapes with archipelagos of islets and skerries, cultural and natural landscapes of high value, as well as unique marine ecosystems. The protected areas cover mostly marine territory and some relatively small terrestrial parts of the shoreline. Moreover, these attractive coastal environments, located in the proximity of Norway’s largest population centre, have since long been popular spaces for various forms of nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation activities such as boating, sun bathing, angling, camping, kayaking, windsurfing, scuba diving, etc. Many marinas, privately owned cabins, camping facilities, guesthouses, etc. also lead to a high and diverse visitation pressure in the protected areas. Our exploratory research is based on personal interviews with managers of the three national parks, conducted in October 2016, and analysis of relevant documents related to the National Park management. The qualitative data confirms that the national park management faces particular challenges in the coastal context connected to both the volume and the diversity of the visitation as well as accommodating tourism industry interests. The managers express that the inherited management regime originates from a period when there were mostly alpine national parks in the two countries. As a response to this deficiency, the coastal national park managers try to form professional networks amongst themselves and seek to learn from each other’s experiences and management practices.
8.	Hedenborg, Susanna, et al. (author) Outdoorification of sports and recreation : a leisure transformation under the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden 2024 In: Annals of Leisure Research. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1174-5398 .- 2159-6816. ; 27:1, s. 36-54 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, most European countries imposed lockdowns, whereas Sweden introduced soft restrictions. Sports and physical activity could continue if conducted 'safely' and outdoor activities were even promoted if restrictions on the number of participants were not violated. The aim of this article is to demonstrate how the pandemic led to transitions and transformations of typical indoor sports activities to the outdoors and to outdoor recreation, or what we call an outdoorification process of sports and recreation, and how the changes were perceived by the population. Sweden is used as a case study. The inquiry is based on three studies involving more than 100 semi-structured interviews, two national questionnaire surveys and a regional-based PPGIS study. Based on the results, we argue that the outdoorification process is likely to influence how sport and recreation is understood and practiced also in the years after the pandemic.
9.	Jernsand, Eva Maria, 1967, et al. (author) Destination development based on knowledge and learning: Initiating a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Bohuslän 2022 In: Tourism, Knowledge and Learning Conceptual Development and Case Studies. Edited By: Eva Maria Jernsand, Maria Persson, Erik Lundberg. - London and New York : Routledge. - 9781003293316 ; , s. 9-25 Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract This chapter emphasizes the importance of collaboration in destination development. More specifically, the authors explore the potential of UNESCO biosphere reserves as platforms for sustainable destination development, using transdisciplinary co-production of knowledge as an approach. The chapter is based on a case study of the initial phases of creating a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Bohuslän, located on the Swedish west coast, in which the authors were involved. The results show that biosphere reserves can act as learning destinations and role models for sustainable development, facilitating conditions for learning, innovation and attractive destinations through transdisciplinary co-production of knowledge. It is thus argued that biosphere reserves can address aspects of democracy and inclusiveness, tear down narrow views of partnerships, competitiveness and networks, and introduce opportunities for transforming systems and behaviours in a destination and tourism context.

Här ingår förslag hur allt kunde utvecklas vidare, inklusive Institutets egen roll som länk mellan forskning och förvaltning, både på kortare och längre sikt.
11.	Proceedings for the International Congress on Coastal and Marine Tourism (CMT2017) - June 13-16 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden 2017 Editorial proceedings (other academic/artistic)abstract Welcome to CMT2017! Last time many of us were gathered was in 2015 at the 25-year anniversary of CMT, which took place on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Three of the members in the CMT2017 Organizing Team participated at this event for the first time and found it to be both intellectually and socially stimulating and with a great potential to anchor the topic of coastal and marine tourism within in Sweden. Already during CMT2015, we were therefore discussing amongst ourselves that we would like to bring the CMT network to Sweden and the University of Gothenburg. In spring 2016, we took action and made a bid to become the 9th International Congress on Coastal and Marine Tourism and were glad to receive a positive response from the International Coastal and Marine Tourism Society (ICMTS), where the congress has its roots. And so, here we are, one year after, ready to launch CMT2017! An interesting thing to observe this year is that, although it has been less than 2 years after the previous CMT, we can at CMT2017 conclude that the interest in coastal and marine tourism is large and steadily growing. We have received a little more than 100 abstracts, of which 76 will be presented at CMT2017. We have also managed to invite and accommodate friends from around the globe, representing 29 countries and all continents (aside from the Antarctic). We are very proud of this, as it emphasizes the true diversity of the congress and the topic of coastal and marine tourism in general. Furthermore, many of the received abstracts have inter- or cross-disciplinary content. This shows that our field of study has many dimensions and important cultural, social, economic and environmental impacts on the world we all share and must protect as best we can. In terms of the congress program, we have kept most of the session themes from Hawai’i, which we found to be relevant and covering the broad study field of coastal and marine tourism. The main theme of the congress is ”Global challenges, local solutions” – a theme which we find increasingly important as current topics and discourses on coastal and marine tourism contexts often are global in nature, in particular in connection to the aims of sustainable development. At the same time, planning, strategy, innovation and development are usually grounded in local coastal and marine contexts. This is a challenge in itself, but might also be an opportunity if the local is connected to the global. The congress theme is reflected in the proposed panel sessions on Innovation, Development in the global south and the Tourism-Recreation relationship. The congress sessions and keynotes also connect to this theme. On this background, we have tried to make an exciting congress program for you. We encourage you to listen, explore and experience as much as possible during your days here in Sweden. It is an honor to welcome you all!
12.	Rettig, Katharina, et al. (author) A bayesian network to inform the management of key species in Kosterhavet National Park under contrasting storylines of environmental change 2022 In: Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 0272-7714 .- 1096-0015. ; 280 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Global climate change and related land use changes are expected to impose unprecedented pressures on coastal biodiversity and ecosystem processes. To sustainably manage coastal ecosystems, it is crucial to predict the consequences of human activities for coastal ecosystems and identify areas for directed abatement measures. Empirical data together with expert knowledge and evidence from the literature were integrated into a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) for a marine protected area, the Kosterhavet National Park off the Swedish west coast. The variability and interactions of anthropogenic pressures and two key ecosystem components, eelgrass meadows and northern shrimp stock, were tested under four storylines of environmental change. The results show that of the influential drivers of environmental change, only three variables (bottom trawling, leisure boating and aquaculture) are manageable within the national park itself. Scenario analysis suggested that notable gains of both ecosystem components were most likely under a storyline of sustainable development, assuming a radiative forcing of 4.5W/m2 by 2100 in concert with a preventive cooperation among neighboring countries and a tighter restriction of commercial and recreational uses in the park area. The findings suggest that the sustainable management of eelgrass meadows and northern shrimp stock in Kosterhavet National Park requires both local measures at the scale of the park's water bodies and, to a greater part, also regional measures, e.g., to reduce nutrient influx from adjacent water bodies. In conclusion, this approach can help practitioners to make more informed management decisions and foresee the effects of routes of socio-economic development.

(eds) Perspectives for Biodiversity and Ecosystems. Environmental Challenges and Solutions. Springer, Cham.. - Cham : Springer, Cham. - 2214-2827 .- 2214-2835. - 9783030577094 Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract This chapter introduces the concept and practice of “ecological restoration education” (ERE) as a novel pedagogical approach for schoolchildren. ERE combines insights from the field of “outdoor education” and “ecological restoration” and has the overarching objective of fostering learning about biodiversity through practical experience of ecosystem restoration. This chapter draws on experiences from an ERE-project in Sweden called Skolbäcken run by the Swedish Anglers Association. The aim of the chapter is to describe and discuss ERE as a potential strategy to spread interest about the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem management among future generations.
14.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Applying visitor monitoring methods in coastal and marine areas – some learnings and critical reflections from Sweden 2017 In: Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1502-2250 .- 1502-2269. ; 17:3, s. 279-296 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This paper addresses the lack of attention that so far has been given towards the challenges involved in applying visitor monitoring methods in open coastal and marine landscape settings. The topic is still largely overlooked in spite its importance for developing professionalized visitor monitoring procedures for coastal and marine areas. As a response, a monitoring case study from Kosterhavet National Park, Sweden, is introduced with a purpose to test and evaluate different applied visitor monitoring methods in a typical coastal and marine setting and with a special focus on reporting important challenges and experiences in this regard. Results are presented as three lessons that are discussed critically, including specific issues around sampling strategies and representativity of monitoring results, weather conditions in coastal and marine areas, and the need for a mixed-method strategy to acquire accurate results. Methodological contributions mainly concern how these challenges can be addressed and improved with the inclusion of new monitoring strategies based on different technological opportunities. Thoughts on management implications are also included. The paper serves as a central contribution to research discussions on applied visitor monitoring methods in coastal and marine areas as well as an important addition to existing visitor monitoring manuals.

Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract Creating Experience Value in Tourism is the second edition by the same editorial team. The focus of the book is on the tourism experience and critical reflections on value creation in the meeting between guest and host, and attendant frameworks. The keyword is ‘co-creation’ between guest (the tourist) and host (the experience provider), and the meanings and importance of this relationship. With roots in general tourism experience research, experience value creation is advocated by e.g. Prahalad and Ramaswamy (2003,2004), Binkhorst and Den Dekker (2009) and Zatori and Beardsley (2017). As the editors emphasize, attention to the theme is growing as it has become an influential research field in its own right. This is especially true within marketing and destination management research where overarching themes center on value creation processes and the depth, meaning and reach of the tourism experience.
17.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Capturing visitor experiences in coastal and marine areas 2016 In: Proccedings for the 8th Conference on Monitoring and Management of Visitors in Recreation and Protected Areas (MMV) in Novi Sad, Serbia, September 26-30, 2016 - Cooperation across borders and scales. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract Visitor monitoring is an invaluable tool and source of information in recreation planning and management. Traditionally, monitoring activities involve investigations on visitor numbers, profiles and spatial behavior, which is used for overview and information purposes. Unfortunately, monitoring activities that involve acquiring information about visitor experiences are rarely prioritized by managers. This is problematic, especially because recreation management “includes managing both material and symbolic […] landscapes” (Hall et al. 2013, p. 122). This is also emphasized by McCool (2006), who states that the state-of-art in visitor experience management needs improvement and that studying visitor experiences can be a way for managers to go beyond what he calls ‘superficial’ monitoring, which is monitoring efforts with a focus on visitor statistics only. Consequently, it is important that visitor monitoring efforts are not narrowed down to numbers and figures only, but also include detailed information about the details and specifics of various visitor experiences. Indeed, it is an essential part of what has been referred to as experienced-based management. From a management point of view, visitor experiences are particularly important to study and monitor because they reveal information about the physical, cognitive, and affective outcomes of recreational participation in a given setting. These outcomes can be both positive and negative, but they have in common that they influence visitor attitudes and opinions, and thereby also visitor satisfaction. In order to secure high quality experiences and high levels of visitor satisfaction, visitor experiences therefore need to be examined by recreation managers as parameters and guidance for management decisions and planning measures. To gain information and knowledge about visitor experiences is, however, not an easy process, as it concerns moving beyond mere descriptions of different recreational activities in a natural setting (i.e. numbers and observations), to a focus on the experiential content and different symbolic meanings that visitors associate with recreational settings. This calls for new thinking about how to both study and monitor visitor experiences and relate results to management practices. Challenges A particular challenge is that the study and monitoring of visitor experiences requires experiences to be examined on an individual level. Furthermore, recreational experiences often contain very detailed content, which can be difficult to express or describe to other individuals not sharing the same experience. Looking broadly in the literature on visitor monitoring, conventional based monitoring methods, such as questionnaire surveys and interviews, have most commonly been employed by recreation managers to study visitor opinions, attitudes and behavior. However, when it comes to acquiring information about visitor experiences, these conventional monitoring methods often come short, as the depth and details of information they provide often is limited. This is especially the case when it comes to retrieving more qualified information about what experiential values and qualities visitors appreciate or seek in a given setting. Consequently, recreation managers are in need of alternative study and monitoring measures that allow them to gain a more precise understanding of the visitor experience as a central part of recreational management. On this background, the aim of this presentation is to explore how visitor produced pictures can be developed and applied as a potential study and monitoring tool in recreation management to provide important information about what visitors consider important experience values and qualities. To support this aim, a qualitative based case study from Sweden is introduced wherein visitor produced pictures have been applied as the main methodological approach. The case study itself took place during the summer of 2014 and involved 41 participants who via smart phones took pictures of important recreational experience values. Results show that recreational participants tend to focus on six different categories of experience values and qualities: 1)Natural elements 2)Social situations 3)Cultural environments 4)Recreational activities 5)Emotional reactions 6)Disturbing factors. In the presentation, these categories will be described both broadly and in depth, and with special attention given to management implications in terms of studying and monitoring important experience values and qualities. The paper concludes that visitor produced pictures have considerable potential as an informative and efficient tool to capture important visitor experience values and qualities. It is therefore important that future research continues with the development of visual methods as a monitoring approach in recreation management.
18.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Capturing visitor experiences in coastal and marine areas - Introducing visitor produced pictures as a strategy for studying and monitoring visitor experiences in outdoor recreation management 2015 In: Proccedings for the 8th International Congress on Coastal and Marine Tourism, Hawaii, November 10-13, 2015 - Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract Visitor monitoring is an invaluable tool and source of information in recreation planning and management (Kajala et al. 2007). Traditionally, these monitoring activities involve quantitative based investigations on visitor numbers, profiles and spatial behavior, while the monitoring of visitor experiences rarely is prioritized. This is problematic, especially because recreation management includes managing both material and symbolic landscapes (Greider & Garkovich 1994). To solve this challenge, a growing number of researchers have announced that qualitative based monitoring methods should be introduced into recreation management (Wynveen et al. 2012). In this case, picture studies have been suggested as an interesting method strategy to use, as pictures often work as visual symbols of important experiences (e.g. Tonge et al. 2013). The main aim and contribution of the paper is to investigate how picture studies can be applied as a qualitative based monitoring strategy in recreation management in order to study what visitors consider to be important experience values and qualities. To support this aim, a case study from Sweden is introduced, where a purposive sampling strategy was used to recruit 41 participants based on the most frequent visitor groups in the case area. The task given to the 41 participants was to take a maximum of 25 pictures during an agreed period of time and to also fill out a photo logbook and participate in a follow-up interview. Additionally, an important aspect was to test smart phones use when taking pictures. All together, this gave the paper a somewhat experimental-methodological character. The results show that visitors tend to focus on six different categories of experience values and qualities: natural elements, social situations, cultural environments, recreational activities, emotional reactions and disturbing factors. These categories are supported by photos and statements provided by the participants. Furthermore, in terms of management implications, the results also show that the application of the method first and foremost requires social science competences. The management implications are included in the discussion, which also evaluates on pros and cons concerning the method approach. The main conclusion is that picture studies not only can be used as a valid strategy to monitor and study visitor experiences, but that it is also realistic in its application. It is therefore important that future research continues with the development of visual methods in recreation management, including a focus on the growing potential in new technology.

Studierna ingår i olika forskningsinsatser på Mittuniversitetet, Göteborgs universitet och Kristianstad Högskola, och två av dem är finansierade genom forsknings- och samverkansprogrammet Mistra Sport & Outdoors. Resultaten visar bland annat att: 1.Naturen i närområdet har fått en viktig roll för utövandet av friluftsliv. 2.Det har skett en kraftig ökning, och ökad koncentration, av ”nya” besökare i populära naturområden, exempelvis nationalparker och naturreservat. Samtidigt har ökningen lett till förskjutning av besökare i naturen. 3.Många svarar att deras friluftslivsvanor har ändrats på grund av pandemin och flera påpekar att de kommer fortsätta med de nya vanorna också efter pandemin. 4.Folk söker sig till naturen framförallt för att återhämta sig och få energi, för att naturen är en säker plats fri från oro samt för att umgås socialt. 5.Friluftsliv i kombination med fysisk aktivitet har fått stor betydelse under pandemin, vilket kan kopplas till upplevd hälsa. Promenader, vandring, löpning och cykling är särskilt populära aktiviteter i det hänseendet. 6.Naturen har fått större betydelse som socialt rum, en ’fristad’, under pandemin. Folk umgås mer och oftare med varandra ute i naturen. 7.Det aktiva friluftslivet och vistelser i naturen har blivit en livsstil för allt fler som inte vistades så ofta i naturen innan pandemin. Köp av utrustning för friluftsliv har också ökad. 8.Observerade konflikter kopplat till ändrade friluftsvanor under pandemin är ökad trängsel på stigar, spår och leder samt parkeringsplatser, brist på hänsyn samt mer skräp i naturen.

Som en reaktion på detta är kust och hav blivit mål för viktiga planeringsprocesser som kommer att förändra kustzonen och havet på ett påtagligt sätt. För att förstå dessa planeringsprocesser fokuserar detta avsitt på fysisk planering av kusten och havet i Sverige och hur detta arbete involverar både nationella och lokala myndigheter och aktörer. Speciellt fokuseras på två centrala planeringsverktyg: Integreated Coastal Zone Management (integrerat kustzon planering) och Maritime Spatial Planning (havsplanering). Båda verktygen används idag i fysiska planeringen med målsättningen att uppnå hållbara lösningar på hur man använder kusten och havet i Sverige. Exempel på hur verktygen använts kommer att ges och för- och nackdelar med detta arbete att diskuteras.

The Use of Smart Technologies and Citizen Science in Visitor Monitoring 2022 In: Advancing Public and Industry Participation in Coastal and Marine Sciences. - Newcastle upon Tyne : Cambridge Scholars Publishing. - 1527587851 ; , s. 131-163 Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract The aim of this chapter is to explore and discuss opportunities in combining the use of smart technologies and citizen science principles in visitor monitoring, supported with a couple of case study examples from coastal-marine areas. Visitor monitoring in this chapter is understood in its broadest sense: a fundamental visitor management activity which purpose is to collect relevant data on and information about visitors1 and their activities and experiences in nature areas (Kajala et al. 2007; Andrew et al. 2021). The collected data and information from monitoring work form a knowledge base about visitors and, thus, serves to guide visitor management actions and decisions. Typical visitor monitoring activities include everything from studying visitor numbers, movements, activities and behaviour to visitor expectations, satisfaction and opinions as well as the more elusive visitor experience (Kajala et al. 2007; Andrew et al. 2021; Hansen 2016a). With rising numbers, new trends, and growing consumer demands and expectations within the tourism and recreation industry, relevant knowledge has become increasingly important for managers and researchers alike. Ultimately, the goal is to be better equipped to understand the visitor, not only in order to meet their wants and needs, but also as a way to document visitation and to improve the general standard of visitor planning and management activities (Kajala et al. 2007; Manning 2011; Ankre, Fredman, and Lindhagen 2016). This brings about the importance of citizen science and the use of smart technologies in visitor monitoring in coastal-marine areas today. The introduction of new and smart technologies is interesting as new technologies both support existing visitor monitoring methods and traditions, and introduce new and often novel ways to engage with and learn from the visitor (e.g. Heikinheimo et al. 2020). For instance, social media platforms have become channels for sharing opinions and experiences, which can be important study targets from a visitor monitoring point of view. Furthermore, the development of visitor themed applications (apps), such as various hiking or similar outdoor themed apps, can be used to provide information about visitor movements, interests and priorities. More customised smart technologies, such as Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS), have also received a lot of attention in recent years with an aim to learn from the visitors about the visitors through a combination of interactive mapping exercises and questionnaire methodology (Kaae, Olafsson, and Draux 2018; Munoz et al. 2019; Hansen, Glette, and Arce 2021). From a visitor monitoring perspective, the development of these and many more trends is exciting and makes exploration of the connection between citizen science and smart technologies in visitor monitoring not only timely, but also important as the use of smart technologies is rapidly becoming accepted tools in visitor monitoring and management (Heikinheimo et al. 2020; Pickering et al. 2020). This is particularly the case also for studies of recreation in coastal-marine areas, where traditional monitoring methods (see more below) are challenged by the often open and fragmented landscape type (Smallwood et al. 2011; Hansen 2016b; Andrew et al. 2021). In this case, use of new technologies, including citizen science approaches, offer new opportunities to support existing monitoring methods (Kaae, Olafsson, and Draux 2018; Hansen et al. 2021)

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract This poster presents experiences and findings reached at a Nordic workshop on 'Monitoring and managing outdoor recreation in coastal and marine areas'. This is a topic that has yet to find its place within academia, resource management and policymaking and is an important future challenge, particularly for popular coastal destinations due to increasing visiting pressures (i.e. impacts, conflicts, etc.). The workshop, which took place in December 2014, was hosted by the Unit for Human Geography, University of Gothenburg, and invited researchers, practitioners and policy makers to present their situation and engage in fruitful discussions. A total of 17 persons participated; 12 participants from Sweden, 1 from Norway, 2 from Denmark and 2 from Finland. The workshop had three main aims. The first one was a presentation of the current status and importance of outdoor recreation monitoring and management in coastal and marine areas in the Nordic countries. Secondly, the workshop was also a way to discuss and direct future research, management and policy efforts on the topic with a basis on sharing knowledge and experiences among the participants at the workshop. Third, the workshop was a good opportunity to create a platform and network for Nordic experts who are actively involved with outdoor recreation/tourism planning and management in coastal and marine areas either academically, in practice or as policy makers. The main results from the workshop were twofold. The first result was four short presentations from each of the four countries with a focus on sharing current and up-to-date knowledge about the topic on outdoor recreation monitoring and management in coastal and marine areas. The second result was important findings from two group discussions that focused on four central questions. The first question concerned what knowledge managers and practitioners need in order to monitor and manage for outdoor recreation in coastal and marine areas. The second question concerned the consequences of viewing outdoor recreation as a land/sea interest in its own right and in what way this view interacts with other land/sea interests. The third question concerned a discussion about where outdoor recreation and nature conservation meet in terms of monitoring efforts and how better integrated studies across different disciplines can assist in improving outdoor recreation monitoring and management of coastal and marine areas. Finally, the fourth question concerned the issue of whether it is possible to transfer experiences from terrestrial monitoring and management efforts to coastal and marine areas. On the basis of these discussions, several important findings were reported and are the main topic of the paper. The poster and the reported results will be of special interest to other professionals that work within outdoor recreation/tourism planning and management. The presentation at CMT will furthermore open up the opportunity to critically discuss the workshop findings with thoughts and examples from international expertise and experience. The poster will therefore primarily be aimed at international researchers, practitioners and policy makers that work within the workshop topic.

(author) Managing outdoor recreation aspects in coastal-marine national parks– Experiences and challenges from Sweden and Norway 2017 In: Proceedings for the International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (ISSRM), June 19-22, 2017 in Umeå. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract This paper describes experiences and challenges in managing outdoor recreation in coastal-marine national parks as part of national strategies on Maritime Spatial Planning in Sweden and Norway. Both countries received their first coastal-marine national parks as late as in 2009, with two more established in Norway since then and two more under way, both in Sweden and in Norway. Like other land-based national parks, the purpose of coastal-marine national parks is to be containers of both environmental and recreational qualities, with a distinct focus on balancing use (recreation/tourism) and protection (conservation) aspects. However, while both countries have large experience on these matters in their land-based national parks (e.g. forest-, mountain-, and urban parks), experiences in coastal-marine national parks are limited. This is particularly the case when managing outdoor recreation aspects, such as providing quality recreational experiences or performing visitor monitoring activities. Based on a series of semi-structured interviews with managers and experts in three coastal-marine national parks (one Swedish and two Norwegian parks), the paper reveals important challenges concerning outdoor recreation planning and management in coastal-marine national parks in Sweden and Norway. Main results show large differences in experience between planning and managing coastal-marine national parks versus traditional land-based national parks, including the problem that coastal-marine national parks are often managed based on experiences from their land-based equivalents. Particular identified challenges include working with outdoor recreation in open, free roaming landscapes as well as more administrative barriers, such as lack of education and resources among managers to work more actively with outdoor recreation aspects in the daily management. The paper therefore concludes that outdoor recreation aspects must receive a larger focus in coastal-marine national parks.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract This presentation describes experiences and challenges in managing outdoor recreation in coastal-marine national parks as part of national strategies on Maritime Spatial Planning in Sweden and Norway. Both countries received their first coastal-marine national parks as late as in 2009 (Kosterhavet in Sweden and Ytre Hvaler in Norway), with two more established in Norway since then (Færder and Jomfruland) and two more under way both in Sweden and in Norway. Like other land-based national parks, the purpose of coastal-marine national parks is to be containers of both environmental and recreational qualities, with a distinct focus on balancing use (recreation/tourism) and protection (conservation) aspects. However, while both countries have large experience on these matters in their land-based national parks (e.g. forest-, mountain-, and urban parks), experiences in coastal-marine national parks are limited. This is particularly the case when managing outdoor recreation aspects, such as providing quality recreational experiences or performing basic visitor monitoring activities. Based on a series of semi-structured interviews with three national park managers and one planning expert in three coastal-marine national parks (Kosterhavet), the paper reveals important challenges concerning outdoor recreation planning and management in coastal-marine national parks in Sweden and Norway. This includes a discussion on the fact that outdoor recreation aspects must receive a larger focus in coastal-marine national parks. Furthermore, outdoor recreation must also be put on the political agenda as a land use activity that is important in coastal-marine areas, which in turn will place outdoor recreation as a priority among national park managers.

(author) Mapping recreational activities in coastal and marine areas – PPGIS findings from western Sweden 2021 In: Ocean and Coastal Management. - : Elsevier BV. - 0964-5691. ; 205 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This paper reports on a study identifying and mapping coastal-marine recreation in the Gothenburg region on the west coast of Sweden. The study was part of a regional project with a focus on presenting a structural plan for the coastal zone, but which revealed a lack of knowledge about outdoor recreation in the coastal zone. In response, the study was formed to address the knowledge gap by collecting information about outdoor recreation activities in the coastal zone. To accomplish this, a PPGIS method approach was chosen to collect basic geographic data, which resulted in basic intensity and cluster based maps clearly showing recreational hotspot in the coastal zone. From the maps, it was possible to conclude that recreational activities take place almost everywhere along the coast, confirming the coastal zone as an important recreational landscape in the region. The results meant the generation of a new and important information layer to be used in future regional planning processes and thus a few steps closer in achieving a sustainable development of the coastal zone in the region. The work also concluded that the chosen PPGIS method strategy worked particularly well in terms of getting a spatial overview.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract The presentation reports on a study and published paper with a focus on mapping coastal-marine recreation in the Gothenburg region on the west coast of Sweden. In Sweden, outdoor recreation is considered an important land and water use activity, and is associated with key societal aspects, such as increased environmental awareness, public health and local development. For this reason, outdoor recreation has become an important planning topic in the Gothenburg region, which offers many recreational opportunities in the coastal zone (Hansen, 2016). Lately, the topic has received increased attention, accelerated by two processes. The first process concerns current work on national maritime spatial planning in Sweden, wherein outdoor recreation is emphasized as a key spatial layer alongside tourism and cultural heritage. The second process is strongly influenced by the maritime planning process and concerns regional and local coastal-marine development initiatives. In Sweden, the municipalities have the planning responsibility for the coastal zone. Consequently, many coastal regions and municipalities, including Gothenburg region, currently work towards clarifying and structuring their coastal interests, including outdoor recreation, in order to synchronize with the national maritime plans. As part of this process, The Gothenburg Region (GR), a co-operative organization for 13 municipalities located around Gothenburg, launched a project between 2016 and 2019 with an aim to achieve sustainable coastal-marine development in the region’s coastal municipalities. In late 2019, the result of the project was presented as a structural plan for the coastal zone, with a particular focus on a range of conservation and development initiatives. An important part of the work included an analysis of existing planning material as well as identification of missing documentation of key land and water use categories. This work revealed that documentation of outdoor recreation in the region’s coastal zone was almost completely missing. The situation presented a problem as an important prerequisite for planning, and thereby ensuring, quality recreational content in the coastal zone is detailed knowledge about it. The study reported in the paper was formed in response to the situation. In practice, the study was done as a complementary study towards the end of the regional project with a focus on mapping recreational activities in the coastal zone. To move away from previous information sources, a choice was made to use a Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) method approach. PPGIS specializes in collecting relevant geographic data that can be used for mapping and overview purposes and is therefore particularly useful in planning processes. Furthermore, a distinct feature and difference from earlier sources is that PPGIS studies build on citizen science principles, involving members of the public in actively contributing with data input, leading to the generation of new data layers (Brown & Kyttä 2014). The study therefore explored two key aspects: identifying and mapping coastal-marine recreation in order to create a basic knowledge base for planning processes in the region as well as introducing, testing and pioneering the PPGIS method approach in the region. The most significant output of the study was spatial information about and, as a result, a basic knowledge base on coastal-marine outdoor recreation in the region. For the first time, it is possible to see the connection between the various recreational activities and the geographical context where they take place. For instance, the work shows that recreational activities take place almost everywhere along the coast and near coastal waters, confirming coastal-marine areas as a favorable recreational landscape type in the region. Furthermore, the work not only shows the presence, but also indications of volumes of coastal-based recreation in the region. An important result is also that there appears to be variation between locations of different recreational activities, which is not a surprising result, but important to visualize nonetheless. Together, the results confirm outdoor recreation as a significant land and water use category that deserves more attention and priority in future planning processes in the region. From a more regional perspective, the study results not only generate a new information layer to be used in regional planning processes, but also present an opportunity to work more actively with the region’s focus on sustainable coastal development. On a national level, the study findings also have relevance in the work on maritime spatial planning. For instance, the study confirms outdoor recreation to be a mostly near coastal activity with limited impact on the national planning area. In other words, coastal-marine recreational is primarily a focus for municipal planning activities. The work also concluded that the chosen PPGIS method strategy worked particularly well in terms of getting a spatial overview and involving citizens to take part of these types of studies. Indeed, from a research perspective, the work opens up for a broader look at data collection strategies that go beyond traditional visitor monitoring methodologies. Researchers with an interest in these types of studies must learn to embrace new technologies and what solutions they offer, while also being mindful about the pros and cons of applying the methods, including thoughts about the geographical context wherein they are applied. The reported study findings demonstrate that coastal-marine outdoor recreation no longer can continue to be an overlooked or disregarded planning category in the region. However, efforts should not stop here. In fact, the true value of the findings will only become apparent if the work is continued, partly in order to create more certainty around the results and partly as a way to discuss future changes and identify new developments. To realize this, the study must reach municipal and regional planners, who are the real targets for the study results and who not only have the power, but also the biggest need, to continue the work. If this outreach can be achieved, and planners embrace both the study results and the method approach, it would be an important step towards building a comprehensive knowledge base on outdoor recreation in all parts of the region, References Hansen, A.S. 2016. http://libris.kb.se/bib/19941225 Brown, G. & Kyttä, M. 2014. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeog.2013.11.004

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract The presentation reports on a study with a focus on mapping coastal-marine recreation in the Gothenburg region, Sweden. In Sweden, outdoor recreation is considered an important land and water use activity why the topic has become an important planning topic, including in Gothenburg region where there is a focus on clarifying and structuring coastal recreation and related nature tourism activities. Recent work has, however, revealed a lack of documentation of outdoor recreation in the region’s coastal zone.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract With Sweden’s marine plans on the doorstep, several key stakeholders have been asking: where is culture, as well as outdoor recreation and tourism, in the plans? So far, these three ‘soft’ themes have not received much attention, which in Sweden has been reasoned with that culture (and with that outdoor recreation and tourism also) are mostly coastal planning concerns. However, when talking with local coastal municipalities as well as different kinds of public interest organizations in Sweden, opinions often are that culture, outdoor recreation and tourism are the topics they are most concerned with in marine governance work. Maybe not in terms of securing a dominating space or presence in the plans themselves, but through recognizing the strong linkage between people living at and with the sea. They feel that it is their identity and livelihood that is at stake when changes in the marine environment happen, and therefore that the health of the sea is crucial for their livelihood and connection with the sea. Consequently, many coastal communities have taken it upon themselves to be strong advocates for culture, including outdoor recreation and tourism, in order to emphasize that inclusive planning measures are taken for all sectors that either rely on or are concerned with the health of the marine environment. In short, culture along with outdoor recreation and tourism has led to a strong municipal commitment with a focus on securing and emphasizing Sweden’s strong marine heritage and ancestry in the coming marine plans.

36.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) On outdoor recreation in Swedish coastal and marine areas 2013 Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract This paper is about outdoor recreation in Swedish coastal and marine areas and is part of a larger PHD project study of Kosterhavet National Park (KNP) - the most recently introduced national park in Sweden. Characteristic for KNP is that about 98 % of the park area consists of marine and coastal environments unique not only to the West Coast of Sweden, but also on a national and even international level. It is Sweden’s first national park with a distinct marine focus and is one of the few marine national parks in Scandinavia, one other being the Norwegian twin National Park ‘Ytre Hvaler’, located just on the other side of the border next to KNP. Both national parks are praised for their stunning marine scenery and unique biophysical world. For this reason both national parks receive a great number of visitors each year, with numbers spiking during the summer months, where the small islands and coastal communities in the national parks receive thousands of day trippers, second homers and recreationists. They all seek the beautiful nature scenery and the tranquility of the marine landscapes and for some visitors the parks also offer new and adventurous activities such as diving, snorkeling and kayaking. For this reason, outdoor recreation (through various activities) is an important, but also dominating factor, in the two national parks, which at times clashes with the also important aspects of protecting and conserving the unique nature and landscapes. However well visited the two national parks are, studies of outdoor recreation in marine and coastal areas are very few, at least in a Swedish research context. Most studies on outdoor recreation in Sweden tend to focus more on inland, or terrestrial, nature areas such as the Swedish mountains (fjällen) or the Swedish forests. As a result, not much knowledge about outdoor recreation in Swedish marine and coastal areas is available: for instance what people do in marine and coastal landscapes, where they do it and why they do it, and how this all relate to the landscape use, are important questions we simply do not much about. For this reason, my PHD project will try and remediate this situation by contributing with new knowledge of outdoor recreation in Swedish marine and coastal areas - with KNP as my case study example. My research goals or aims in the project are threefold: 1) I want to investigate what coastal landscapes/areas people use/prefer and how their activities and recreational experiences relate to different landscapes in the national park 2) I will test and develop new, qualitative and quantitative monitoring methods and techniques to study outdoor recreation in coastal/marine areas. 3) I will discuss existing zoning strategies as well as further needs for zoning, including an analysis and discussion of zoning models as possible useful tools for management In order to investigate all this, however, it is important first take one step back and get acquainted with what there already is to know about outdoor recreation in Swedish marine and coastal areas. The aim of this paper is therefore to investigate various official formulations, views and contributions on outdoor recreation in marine and coastal areas (e.g. political statements, research). As such, this paper will not only be an informative part of my PHD research, but it will also bring some much needed light to a research field that has been overlooked, or even neglected, at least in a Swedish research context.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract Coastal and marine areas are often thoughts of as classic rural landscapes in Sweden, and have - for a long time now - been targets for both nature protection and tourism/recreational development. However, to ensure that these two particular kinds of land use interests do not interfere, managers of coastal and marine areas need to provide opportunities for tourism and recreation without jeopardizing goals for conservation. This is not an easy task to solve, and the two goals often conflict. From a sustainable management perspective, knowing more about the relationship between conservation efforts and touristic/recreational activities in coastal and marine areas could provide a basis to improve management efforts by focusing action on key areas, where overlaps between social–ecological interests and conflicts occur. However, while approaches to gain integrated knowledge on nature conservation and visitor management are plentiful and often seen in studies from terrestrial areas, such as mountain or forest areas, studies from coastal and marine areas are few and not well developed. The primary and overall aim of this presentation is therefore to introduce and discuss new and better ways of gaining integrated knowledge on recreational and environmental management in coastal and marine areas. I will do this by first introducing the concepts of recreational and environmental monitoring as two central ways of gaining integrated knowledge on nature conservation and visitor management. I will then present a few examples of my research from Kosterhavet National Park, Sweden, where a colleague in marine ecology and I have been working with an integrative monitoring method aimed at locating social–ecological interests and conflicts. Finally, I will emphasis the conclusion that more research on studies of human-nature interactions in coastal/marine landscapes is needed if the link between recreational use and protection of the marine landscapes is to be understood more thoroughly.

(author) Outdoor recreation and Covid-19 – post pandemic consequences for nature area planning and management 2022 In: PLANNORD 2022 Book of Abstracts - THE 10TH NORDIC PLANNING RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM. - Aalborg : Aalborg University. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract After the pandemic began in 2020, reports on increasing public interest in nature and outdoor recreation surfaced. Examples and discussions came from all corners of the Nordic countries and were echoed globally. Preliminary observations, especially among area managers of nature areas, saw a rapid increase in visitor numbers. In some areas, so many visitors arrived that it was difficult to manage all guests and activities. This presentation highlights key findings and reflections on consequences in the planning for outdoor recreation resources in post pandemic times. The base is three studies from Sweden and Denmark with a focus on outdoor recreation during the pandemic. Using surveys, interviews and PPGIS approaches, results reveal several important planning aspects based on trends observed during the pandemic, e.g. increased outdoor recreation participation, new activity trends and various changes in spatial preferences. It is suggested that particular attention should be given to several planning measures with spatial consequences, including more investment in and potential expansion of blue-green infrastructures and areas designated for recreation. Important is also securing easy access to recreational resources, both inside residential areas and in the vicinity of densely populated urban areas. More practical area-based planning considerations, such as increased parking facilities, better transportation option to and from nature areas, broadening of trails, more active use of zoning as well as intensified monitoring of ecological and social conditions are also highlighted. In the coming years, the work is of special interest to planners working with nature areas for outdoor recreation, who can use the presented knowledge to be inspired and structure future planning activities. Moreover, planners can take advantage of increased outdoor recreation participation during Covid-19 toward supporting a reverse of a general societal loss of nature experience. Finally, potentially positive outcomes of increased nature experience, such as an increased opportunity for connectedness to nature, may be able to focus planning on human nature experience in ways that support human well-being and the development of pro-environmental behaviors.
39.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983, et al. (author) Outdoor recreation during the corona pandemic – experiences and trends from western Sweden 2021 In: The 10th MMV Conference: Managing outdoor recreation experiences in the Anthropocene – Resources, markets, innovations. - Ås, Norway : Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). - 2535-2806. Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract The presentation reports on a study and published paper from western Sweden with a focus on the development of outdoor recreation in the region during the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic swept across Sweden and Europe in March 2020, it resulted in major changes in and consequences for outdoor recreation activities across the country. Quite abruptly, conditions for a normal life in Sweden changed in order to reduce the spread of the virus. People were recommended to not travel outside their own region or municipality, and public transportation became problematic to use. Citizens were advised to work from home and not socialize with others beyond their own social circle. In other words, the whole foundation of an active outdoor lifestyle changed. This had consequences for all citizens and, not least, outdoor organizations, many of which had to postpone or completely cancel activities. As a result, the basic conditions for outdoor recreation changed fundamentally. But something else happened as well. Shortly after the pandemic took off, reports on increasing public interest in nature and outdoor recreation surfaced. Examples and discussions came from all corners of the country and were echoed globally. Preliminary observations, especially among local area managers, saw a sharp increase in visitor numbers. In some areas, so many arrived that it was difficult to receive all guests and at the same time show consideration for everyone and all activities. Life in the city also changed. The use of the city's green areas increased, becoming 'green oases' for people in search for a pandemic detox. Both local and national media began to write about the importance of exercise and moving around in nature. This likely helped to push many both newcomers and more routined outdoor enthusiasts into the outdoors. The reports and observations pointed in the same direction: outdoor recreation was undergoing new and rapid changes. Against this background, researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Gothenburg Region, a co-operative organization for thirteen municipalities, decided to collaborate on a study with the purpose of documenting recreational changes caused by the pandemic in western Sweden. The study was part of a national research program, Mistra Sport & Outdoors (2020-2028), which aims to generate knowledge and solutions for increased sustainability in sport and outdoor recreation in Sweden. The study was to be a contribution to the increasing knowledge base on outdoor creation during the pandemic in Sweden and internationally. The study was also to lead to increased knowledge about the regional development and thus create a base for current outdoor recreation planning and management strategies in the region. The study was done as a so-called Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) study (Brown & Kytta 2014). PPGIS is a method specializing in acquiring spatial data in a survey-like style, but based on an interactive mapping exercise, where participants plot activities on a map. The activity is usually followed by questions about the mapped activities and a more general survey. As is in the name, PPGIS studies uses a citizen science approach by inviting members of the public to participate and contribute with mapped data. A benefit of this approach is the opportunity to acquire large and often detailed data sets over short time, while it (usually) also is an interactive and interesting activity for participants. The study used a combined convenience and snowball strategy to reach citizens above 16 years of age in the region. The survey ran July to October 2020, four months in total. During that time, 4832 unique people visited the website, of which 1506 provided answers (approximately 32%). Put together, the maps and survey results point to several new outdoor recreation trends during the pandemic. Main results include: 1.Nature close to home has become important during the pandemic. 2.There is a sharp increase and a high concentration of visitors in popular nature areas, such as national parks and nature reserves, but also in traditionally less popular nature areas, such as smaller green corridors and spaces in urban areas. 3.Many respond that their outdoor habits have changed due to the pandemic and several point out that they will continue the habits even after the pandemic. 4.People seek the outdoors in order to recover and energize, to be free from worries and to socialize. Indeed, nature has become a social space, a 'sanctuary', during the pandemic. 5.Outdoor life in combination with exercise has become popular and can be linked to physical health. Walking, hiking, running and cycling are particular popular activities. 6.The new recreational trends has become a lifestyle for many, especially those who did not use the outdoors much before the pandemic. 7.Observed conflicts linked to the trends include increased crowding on paths, tracks and trails as well as cabins and parking lots, lack of consideration, visitors vs. landowners and littering. From a management perspective, the reported trends have large and long reaching consequences. On the positive side, the development has led to increased interest in the outdoors and nature, which has been an outspoken political goal, both regionally and nationally. On the negative side, the current development and trends have also led to challenges for management, both those of a social nature, such as the abovementioned conflicts, and those of an ecological nature, such as increased pressure on the physical environment due to increased visitor volumes and a larger visitor spread. The reported study has only scratched the surface when it comes to knowledge about the outdoor recreation trends that currently can be observed in the region. Furthermore, as there is no certainty about what will happen and be seen a year down the road, let alone a couple of months, it creates a precarious situation to be in from a research point of view. But all the more reason there is to closely pay attention to the trends observed now, as the world will not be back to normal after the pandemic. A new normal for the world, including outdoor recreation, is more likely. References Brown, G. & Kyttä, M. 2014. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeog.2013.11.004

Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Outdoor recreation in protected coastal and marine areas in Sweden: What do we need to know? 2013 In: Nordic Geographers Meeting, 11-14 June 2013, Reykjavik, Iceland, 2013. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract As globally recognized by many environmental researchers, there is an inseparable, but also challenging, link between recreational use and protection of the land/seascape in marine protected areas (MPAs). Currently, however, not much is known about the interrelations and interactions between recreation activities and protected coastal/marine landscapes in Sweden. In fact, only two studies on outdoor recreation in Swedish coastal/marine areas have been published the past 7 years. For instance, Rosemarie Ankre (2007) has previously focused on planning theory in coastal management, while Andrea Morf (2007; 2011) has investigated conflicts and local participation in coastal resource management. Apart from these two studies, not much else is written about outdoor recreation in Swedish coastal/marine areas, and the question about how recreational activities relate to and impact protected coastal land/seascapes is an absent theme in the literature altogether. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to address this topic, as well as the general lack of research on outdoor recreation in Swedish coastal/marine areas. First, I will address the knowledge gaps in current literature on outdoor recreation in Swedish coastal and marine areas, and second, I will identify and give examples of areas where more research is needed. On the background of my current research in Kosterhavet National Park, Sweden, I will thus conclude the paper by stating that more research on human-nature interactions in Swedish coastal/marine landscapes is needed if the link between recreational use and protection of the land/seascape in MPAs is to be understood more thoroughly.

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

Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Outdoor recreation monitoring in coastal and marine areas – an overview of Nordic experiences and knowledge 2016 In: Geografisk tidsskrift. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0016-7223. ; 116:2, s. 110-122 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This paper involves a collection and communication of important knowledge about and experiences with outdoor recreation monitoring in Nordic coastal and marine areas. This is a topic that so far has received little attention, especially among researchers and practitioners working with outdoor recreation monitoring in Nordic coastal and marine areas, who are in need of knowledge on the topic in order to advance monitoring activities and procedures. To remedy this situation, the purpose of this paper is to provide a knowledge base by listing and describing central literature contributions with important insight into outdoor recreation monitoring in Nordic coastal and marine areas. More specifically, this includes information about: (a) where important knowledge about outdoor recreation monitoring in Nordic coastal and marine areas can be found, (b) who the main contributors are and (c) what monitoring knowledge that has been reported so far. The paper also examines what tasks lie ahead for researchers and area managers in order to improve knowledge about outdoor recreation monitoring in Nordic coastal and marine areas. The paper is a central contribution and addition to manuals on outdoor recreation monitoring that are currently available in the Nordic countries.
43.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Planning for sustainable coastal areas: what role does outdoor recreation and tourism have? 2019 In: PlanNord 2019 - ABSTRACTS The 9th Nordic Planning Research Symposium 21 - 23 August 2019 \| NMBU, Norway. - Ås, Norway : NMBU. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract The bearing principle behind sustainable planning of coastal-marine areas is to have good knowledge not only about environmental but also socio-cultural uses and activities such as tourism and outdoor recreation (Pike et al. 2010). Both tourism and recreation have received scholarly and political attention for decades, mainly due to their role for health, place-marketing and economic development, especially in peripheral coastal regions (Fredman et al. 2013). However, in this presentation I argue that that both topics have not received the attention they deserve in ongoing coastalmarine planning and development processes. For instance, Stenseke and Hansen (2014) have argued that in debates on environmental management, coastal-marine area planning is primarily dominated by economic and ecological interests, whereas tourism and recreation aspects remain notably unarticulated. Furthermore, research on sustainability issues in relation to spatial planning in coastal-marine areas has generally been dominated by systemic natural science approaches (Kidd 2013). Also, even if much attention today is directed towards the coast and the sea when looking for places for tourism and recreation qualities, general scientific knowledge about these factors in coastal-marine areas is limited. A recent international volume on human relations to the sea (Anderson & Peters 2014) and a few Scandinavian studies on coastal-marine tourism and outdoor recreation (Ankre 2007; Hansen 2016) have highlighted this problem. The study findings all point towards a need to examine how tourism and recreation aspects are considered in current coastal-marine planning and development processes, from a national to a local level. This work requires attention as a way to widen the understandings of the structure and cause of coastal and marine planning, and thus provide important prerequisites for more sustainable and inclusive planning and development advancements. The presentation will therefore contribute with a much needed socio-cultural angle on planning and development strategies in coastal-marine areas. This work is not a moment too soon given the current agenda for accommodating EU’s strategies for sustainable use of marine resources (“Blue Growth”) as well as the institutionalisation of coastal zone management and maritime spatial planning, which will determine the future sustainable use of coastal-marine areas.
44.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983, et al. (author) Reshaping the outdoors through education: exploring the potentials and challenges of ecological restoration education 2020 In: Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2206-3110 .- 2522-879X. ; 23:1, s. 57-71 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This paper explores and critically discusses a new concept with relevance to outdoor and environmental education: Ecological Restoration Education (ERE). The background of ERE is a recently launched project by the Swedish Anglers Association (SAA) called ‘Skolbäcken’ with an aim to teach children about fish and fish habitats, and how to protect and conserve both, through practical restoration activities. The project is a reaction to an awakening concern about children’s reduced contact with and understanding of nature, both in the Scandinavian countries and elsewhere in the world. With a point of departure in this concern and project Skolbäcken, the paper explores the idea and practice of ERE, drawing from its conceptual roots; ‘ecological restoration’ and ‘outdoor education’. Results show a concept that is both timely and relevant, as it not only emphasizes the critique of the children-nature disconnect, but also con-tributes with strategies to meet the critique with solutions that are appreciated both by the children and by their teachers. However, there are also important challenges, including concerns about normative education and the ‘projectification’ of ERE and how these factors may influence the short or long term success and potential continuation of ERE as a learning strategy in schools. Future needs in terms of further grounding of ERE are also discussed.

Utvärdering av Sportfiskarnas satsning på naturvårdsinriktad utomhuspedagogik 2018 Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract Hur kan vi få barn och unga att engagera sig i fiske- och vattenvård, samtidigt förmedla kunskap om grundläggande ekologiska samband och därtill skapa förutsättningar för positiva naturupplevelser under skoltid? Sportfiskarnas pedagogiska projekt Skolbäcken tar sikte på alla dessa aspekter. Vi är övertygande om projektets styrkor, annars hade vi inte drivit och utvecklat det under årens lopp. Men för att bättre veta om vi är på rätt väg, och för att få insikter i olika typer förbättringsmöjligheter, har vi under våren 2018 låtit projektet utvärderas av forskare vid Göteborgs universitet. Utvärderingen är gjord på uppdrag av Sportfiskarna och har genomförts av Andreas Skriver Hansen och Mattias Sandberg, som båda är forskare och lärare i kulturgeografi vid Göteborgs universitet. Utvärderingen har fokuserat på tre huvudgrupper inom Skolbäcken: elever, klasslärare och Sportfiskarnas pedagoger. Projektet Skolbäcken riktar sig framförallt mot elever i årskurs 1-6 med syfte att väcka deras intresse för fiske- och vattenvård. Sedan starten av projektet 2016 har Sportfiskarna tagit med tusentals elever till olika typer av vattendrag där de har fått prova på praktisk natur- och fiskevård. Detta gör Skolbäcken till den mest omfattande pedagogiska satsningen på natur- och fiskevård i landet. Skolbäcken har haft fokus på tre huvudsakliga lärandemiljöer: is, våtmark och rinnande vatten. På is får elever prova på att bygga risvasar som gynnar lek hos abborre och mört. Här får de också lära sig grundläggande issäkerhet, och att leka abborre och mört förstås. Andra elever får prova på att anlägga och restaurera våtmarker i syfte att skapa lekplatser för gäddbeståndet som minskat drastiskt utmed Östersjökusten. Eleverna får titta, klappa och till med att pussa gäddorna som vägs och mäts innan de får vandra vidare för att leka. Rinnande vatten är den tredje lärandemiljön och här får eleverna lägga ut sten och död ved i bäckar för att skapa lekbäddar och skyddade partier för öringen. De får också se hur det går till när vi provfiskar med el. Avslutningsvis får eleverna komma på återbesök. Syftet med återbesöket är att låta eleverna ta del av vad de åstadkommit vid vattendragen samt att befästa de kunskaper som Skolbäcken förmedlar. Erfarenheterna från Skolbäcken är goda och mycket tyder på att medverkande klasslärare och elever uppskattar att delta. Mot bakgrund av projektets omfattning i termer av personal, medverkande skolor och elever, är det hög tid att granska projektet och dess måluppfyllelse i termer av lärande och ökat intresse för fiske- och vattenvård hos barn och unga. Denna utvärdering är gjord på Sportfiskarnas uppdrag och syftar framförallt till att genomlysa Skolbäckens måluppfyllelse, dokumentera erfarenheterna från projektet samt att sprida kunskap om möjligheterna med naturvårdsinriktad utomhuspedagogik. Även om rapporten främst riktas mot förbundets anställda och medlemar, finansiärer och samarbetspartners, finns det kunskaper och erfarenheter att hämta för alla som är intresserade av naturvård, utomhuspedagogik och friluftsliv på myndigheter, inom ideella organisationer, grundsskolor och högre utbildning.
46.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983 (author) Still stuck in the past? – Protected area management in the Anthropocene 2015 In: Royal Geographical Society - Annual International Conference 2015. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract The recreational use of marine protected areas (MPAs) has long been on the rise and is often related to more general trends within tourism development and nature resource management in the Anthropocene. While this is good news for rural and corporate economies in marine-based areas, the increasing recreational and touristic popularity also presents a paradox. On one hand, more and more people seek the unique natural environment characteristic to marine areas in their quest for recreational settings that match their needs and desires. On the other hand, the same increased recreational attention has resulted in negative impacts both on the physical and the social environments in marine areas. In the literature, this paradox is often formulated as a question about how to balance goals for nature conservation and protection alongside offering quality recreational experiences to visitors, which is a classic topic within resource management. However, looking at the management of MPAs today, management efforts are almost always geared more towards environmental protection than people management. This poses a problem, as current prognoses tell us that the corporate interest in the sea is bound to grow even more in the future. Consequently, it is of the utmost essence that the extent and specifics of the recreational and touristic use of coastal and marine areas are emphasized in future planning and management activities of the coast and sea. This presentation aims to discuss that the future success of MPAs depends on an increased focus on various anthropogenic pressures and developments. This emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge between research on one side, and both natural and social science educated resource managers on the other side. In turn, this also underscores the importance of disciplinary cooperation as a prerequisite for more and better integration between environmental and recreational interests and activities in resource management. To exemplify this, a case area from Sweden with a focus on integrated management will be presented and discussed.
47.	Skriver Hansen, Andreas, 1983, et al. (author) Synthesizing knowledge and evidence to inform the management of coastal seas’ biodiversity and NCPs – a case study from Sweden 2022 In: Presentation given at ECSA 59, 5-8 September 2022, Kursaal, San Sebastian, Spain. - Essen : University of Duisburg Essen, Faculty of Biology, Aquatic Ecology. Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract While being among the most productive ecosystems on earth, coastal ecosystems are heavily impacted by anthropogenic causes on land and at sea. Fisheries, nutrient discharges from land uses and global climate change, for example, adversely affect coastal seas’ biodiversity, functioning and related nature’s contributions to people (NCPs). Data and knowledge of particular cause-effect relationships in these complex systems is often insufficient or missing. Therefore, a coupled model framework was developed that allows the combination of evidence from environmental monitoring data, literature, expert knowledge and stakeholder interviews and thereby enables the exploration of causal relations between human-induced environmental change, biodiversity and NCPs. The framework was applied to the Kosterhavet National Park in Sweden. First, a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) was built to link anthropogenic land and sea uses and climate change via abiotic and biotic cause-and-effect relationships to two ecological key species in the national park: eelgrass (Zostera marina) and northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis). Subsequently, social-cultural and social-economic cause-and-consequence chains were developed, to derive the potential implications of changes in eelgrass coverage and shrimp stock on human well-being. It was shown that the sustainable management of the two target species in Kosterhavet National Park requires local management in the park (e.g. recreational use and fishery) and regional management across coastal water bodies (e.g. nutrient management). Significant declines in eelgrass and northern shrimp were found to impact the people’s place attachment, tradition, knowledge and identity more than their regional economy. The coupled model framework is currently implemented as an online tool to facilitate its application and support decision making.

To support this goal, a case study from Sweden is introduced wherein visitor produced pictures are the main methodological approach. The case study took place during summer 2014 and involved 41 participants who via smartphones took pictures of their important recreational experiences. The results revealed six different categories of experience qualities in the visitor produced pictures: natural elements, social situations, cultural environments, recreational activities, emotional reactions and disturbing factors. These categories are described with special attention to possible management implications and a better understanding of visitor experience qualities. Furthermore, the paper suggests how new technology might be useful for recreation managers. The paper concludes that visitor produced pictures have considerable potential as an informative and efficient strategy to capture and study visitor experience qualities. The development of visual methods as a monitoring approach should therefore receive more attention in recreation management.

Specifically, the chapter puts the following research questions to the forefront: how can the connection between health, well-being and the natural environment be studied and what are the resulting knowledge benefits? The chapter examines this by introducing an innovative method to study visitor experiences related to health, well-being and the natural environment.

The approach in the paper is an explorative-theoretical one with a base in a literature review. The results show 294 identified texts using the conceptual coupling ‘recreation(al) landscape(s)’ in any of its variants and published in 155 different journals. Only a few of the texts offer detailed description of its meaning. Consequently, in an attempt to further the understanding of recreational landscapes, the conceptual coupling is explored and discussed in more detail with special attention given to different landscape relations, human-nature encounters and the relationship between landscape and place. A conclusion is that recreational landscapes must receive more attention and better anchoring in various landscape and outdoor recreation-related disciplines.
