Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This booklet is a report for a case study visit during four day field trip, a group of nine PhD students and their supervisors – all part of the National Research School for Architecture and Planning in the Urban Landscape, APULA – set out to explore what may be considered the outback of Western Europe’s conurbations, the transnational region of Kiruna -Narvik.Both “remote” and “resourceful”, “threatened” and “thriving” (equally relative notions), this region seemed to offer possibilities to reflect upon many of the current tendencies influencing contemporary planning practice and research.

Landscape laboratories 2008-10 : guided and supervised activities & publications
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report on the landscape laboratories set out, for the first time, data about the type and frequency of activities and publications tied to these arenas for interdisciplinary education, demonstration and research on urban and periurban forests landscapes and their elements. While universities world wide have shut down or sold larger parts of their landscape trials during the last decades, SLU Alnarp has geared up and initiated new experimental trial areas conceptualised as “landscape laboratories”. In 1991, the first landscape laboratory was established right around the university campus at Alnarp as an arena for full scale experimental research on enrichment of urban–rural fringe landscapes by afforestation. This was followed up by establishment of a second landscape laboratory in Snogeholm, Sweden in 1994 focusing on afforestation and multiple‐use forestry practice. The third landscape laboratory was established between 2000‐04 as part of a new housing district in Holstebro, Denmark, and focuses on new types of neighbourhood forest landscapes and residents‐landscape interactions. The Landscape laboratories form full‐scale outdoor research and teaching environments that other universities lack and admire. This report provides and overview of groups of students, researchers, practitioners and voluntary organisations that have as visited the landscape laboratories as part of outdoor teaching activities, workshops, conferences and guided tours during 2008‐10. This is supplemented with an overview of recent and ongoing research activities and publications related to the landscape laboratories and their reference landscapes around the world. Key findings include: During 2008‐10 a total of 163 groups have visited the landscape laboratories. This equals one group per week all year round in all three years. As much as 5415 people participated in those activities with an average group size of 33 people. With 62 % off all visits (n = 101), the landscape laboratory at SLU Alnarp was by fare the most frequently used. This illustrates the added value of having a landscape laboratory as part of the students, teachers, and researchers’ every day campus landscape, where it becomes an ‘outdoor class room’ that replaces indoor lectures and provide possibilities for combining theory and practice in one and the same course moment. The landscape laboratories have attracted policy makers, stakeholders, practitioners, students and researchers. With 90 groups, students accounts for just above half of the guided group visits. Student groups from other universities than SLU ‐ many of which are international universities ‐ are just as frequent visitors as groups enrolled at SLU. This illustrates that the laboratories appeal to students of many different disciplines and nationalities. When the 49 groups of professional organisations, the 13 research groups and 11 stakeholder groups are added, external groups amounts to nearly two third of the group visits. This illustrates that the landscape laboratories have become one of the main outlets for SLU’s research, teaching and demonstration of approaches to the development of urban and peri‐urban forests and landscapes. The 193 groups visiting the landscape laboratories between 2008‐10 represent a vast diversity in terms disciplinary focus. Groups that primarily focus on peri‐urban landscapes and urban green space accounts for nearly 50 % of the groups being guided. Forestry students and organisations are also well represented with 30 %. In comparison students and organisation focusing on horticulture and dendrology respectively ecology and nature conservation has been less frequent visitors, as have groups with other disciplinary focus such as art, music, health care and stakeholder groups. Nevertheless, the vast diversity of disciplinary focuses show that the landscape laboratories have succeeded in becoming shared arenas for multiple disciplines and the teaching, research and demonstration activities ties to them, thus meeting society’s demand for interdisciplinary approaches to landscape and natural resource management. The landscape laboratories have generated 107 publications and scientific presentations, while a similar number of publications have been generated from the web of reference landscapes in Sweden and around the world. More than half of the publications and presentation are in English, while the remaining is – with falling numbers in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, and Spanish. Publications focused on disseminating the landscape laboratory concept and findings to practitioners and conference participants dominate and reflect the joint efforts of SLU researchers in making the landscape laboratories known among practitioners and researchers. In conclusion, this report sets out a baseline for evaluating the landscape laboratories and for analysing future activities and trends in the landscape laboratories. The report is also intended to raise awareness about the landscape laboratories and how they can contribute to SLU’s ambitions of carrying out interdisciplinary education, demonstration and research.

Liked, disliked and unseen forest attributes: Relation to modes of viewing and cognitive constructs

- There is broad agreement that in determination of preferences the spatial configurations and content-based properties of the landscape interact with each other and with cognitive constructive. This interaction and how it is influenced by changes in landscape appearance was explored here in a site-specific context where 32 respondents took their own photos of liked and disliked attributes while walking a pre-defined trail of 2 km through a recreational forest landscape with extensive variation in landscape appearance and management regimes. Each respondent provided five photos of features that contributed positively to their landscape experiences and five that contributed negatively and recorded the location and reason in a photo-log, resulting in a total of 320 photos and photo-log pairs. Photos of content-based attributes were more frequent than photos of the landscape's spatial organisation. Photos in the spatial configuration domain were dominated by liked attributes, while the content-based domain was dominated by disliked attributes. Subtle details and ephemera events constituted a large share of the captured content-based attributes, indicating that they are equally important for on-site experience of landscape character and attractiveness as larger landscape elements and their spatial organisation. Closer examination showed marked differences in the relative distribution of spatial and content-based properties between forested and open landscape units. In forested units content-based attributes dominated, while in the open unit photos motivated by the spatial configurations in the implied space dominated. We concluded therefore that changes in depth of the perceptible space alter the relative importance of spatial and content-based properties for people's visual landscape perception, and thus the type of attributes that pass through the individual's perceptual and cognitive filters and become decisive in determining preferences.

Municipal woodland in Denmark: resources, governance and management

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Urban woodlands are the subject of complex decision-making that requires a strategic overview of the resource. This article contributes a national study of municipal woodland in Denmark. Data were collected among all Danish municipalities through a postal survey (with a response rate of 52%). As much as 83% of the woodland units were located within urban settlements or at their fringe, emphasising that municipalities are important urban woodland providers. Municipal woodland resources were typically divided into many separate units of varying size. On average, the responding municipalities owned 12.6 woodland units with an allocated area of 265 ha, resulting in a mean size of 21.5 ha. A general lack of management plans, and a significant drop in recreational facilities provided with decreasing woodland size indicate that the recreational use potential of small woodland units was largely overlooked. Municipal woodland units frequently bordered other woodland or nature areas of different ownership. Thus even small municipal woodlands can play a key role in the development of multifunctional green infrastructures in the urban landscape. Only municipalities with extensive woodland property had issued a woodland policy, and/or certified woodland management. This indicates a need for development of governance and strategic management instruments attractive to municipalities with limited woodland property.

- With a growing number of urban tree inventory methods and diversifying use of tree inventory data by city authorities and researchers, there is a need to evaluate, review, and critically assess the inventory methods available. This study reviewed studies using urban tree inventories at single-tree level as their data source. Based on this, a bibliographic overview was established and a typology of contemporary urban tree inventory methods was created and used as a framework for evaluation and discussion of the measurement type and accuracy achievable with different methods. The authors found that data from urban tree inventories are currently being employed in research with an increasing number of focuses across a geographical scope that spans all continents except Africa. Four main types of urban tree inventories were distinguished: satellite-supported methods, airplane-supported methods, on-the-ground scanning or digital photography, and field surveys. Compiling results across studies and evaluating the parameters collected by these inventory methods and their accuracy of measurement revealed that the technology itself and current data processing methods limit the reliability of the data obtained from all methods except field surveys. The study authors recommend further technological development and scientific testing before these methods can replace field surveys.
