Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)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.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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!

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

- Intresset för kust- och havsområden har ökat i Sverige under senaste åren och pekar endast i en riktning: flera aktiviteter, högre exploatering och mera utveckling. 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.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Managing outdoor recreation aspects in coastal-marine national parks– Experiences and challenges from Sweden and Norway

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

- 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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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.

- 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.

Skolbäcken: Som ett rinnande vatten? Utvärdering av Sportfiskarnas satsning på naturvårdsinriktad utomhuspedagogik
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Still stuck in the past? – Protected area management in the Anthropocene

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Testing visitor produced pictures as a management strategy to study visitor experience qualities – A Swedish marine case study
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism. - : Elsevier BV. - 2213-0780. ; 14, s. 52-64
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to test how visitor produced pictures can be applied in recreation management in order study, and potentially also monitor, different visitor experience qualities. 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.

Understanding recreational landscapes. Developing a knowledge base on outdoor recreation monitoring in Swedish coastal and marine areas
- 2016

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hansen, Andreas Skriver. 2016. Understanding recreational landscapes. Developing a knowledge base on outdoor recreation monitoring in Swedish coastal and marine areas. Publications edited by the Departments of Geography, University of Gothenburg, Series B, no. 127. Department of Economy and Society, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg. ISBN 91-86472-77-1. This PhD thesis concerns the role and importance of outdoor recreation monitoring in the management of coastal and marine areas in Sweden – a topic that in spite its importance has eluded attention, both in research circles and in area management. To address this situation, the objective of the thesis is to develop a knowledge base on outdoor recreation monitoring in coastal and marine areas, with special attention given to current research knowledge on the topic as well as monitoring practices and needs on a management level. This requires both a theoretical and methodological anchoring of the work with outdoor recreation monitoring, which in the thesis is done by giving attention to central geographic landscape theory as well as an applied research approach. The theoretical contribution in the thesis involves a broader perspective on outdoor recreation monitoring, which is needed in order to work professionally with outdoor recreation in the management of coastal and marine areas. Specifically, this means looking into the importance of monitoring not only environmental processes, but also human relations and experiences in coastal and marine areas. To better understand this, an integrated landscape understanding grounded within a combination of geographic landscape theory and a Nordic landscape perspective is introduced with a specific emphasis on the importance of actively monitoring not only material, but particularly also immaterial landscape qualities in recreational area contexts. The methodological contribution in the thesis involves exploration of important challenges, needs and improvements in the work with outdoor recreation monitoring in coastal and marine areas. Three quantitative methods (i.e. a questionnaire survey, an interview survey and a combination of on-site and roaming observations) and a qualitative method (i.e. a picture based study) are applied and evaluated in a coastal and marine area context. The thesis reveals important challenges in obtaining representativity of monitoring results in coastal and marine areas due their open landscape character, weather conditions as well as high levels of user dispersion. The thesis therefore suggests that more attention is given to the importance of data triangulation as well as knowledge about limitations of each applied monitoring method. In terms of important needs, the thesis emphasizes the importance of monitoring experience qualities in coastal and marine areas. The thesis therefore suggests the introduction of ‘visitor produced pictures’ as a method strategy to effectively obtain this knowledge. Finally, the thesis also discusses and suggests the development of new monitoring methods and strategies based on new technology in order to effectively acquire user information in coastal and marine areas (e.g. online media platforms, smartphone detection and drone technology). The introduction of new technology is interesting as it not only offers new options to address identified monitoring challenges and needs, but also presents new opportunities in terms of developing efficient methods for monitoring outdoor recreation in coastal and marine areas.

Visitor monitoring and education app - For use in recreational area management
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings for the International Congress on Coastal and Marine Tourism (CMT2017).
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The presentation introduces an ongoing project idea with a focus on developing a mobile app for visitor monitoring and education purposes in recreational management contexts. Visitor monitoring and education strategies have long been established and used in the management of different recreational contexts around the world (Manning 2011). Visitor monitoring concerns professional documentation of recreational activities and behaviour in recreational area contexts and have been described in various visitor monitoring manuals and handbooks (Kajala et al. 2007). Visitor education, on the other hand, concerns how recreational areas may offer important experiential learning opportunities for relevant context-based education (Aguayo 2016). Surprisingly, the use of new technologies for monitoring and education purposes has received little attention. In particular, there is currently very little information available on the potential use of mobile technology, such as mobile apps, for monitoring and educational purposes within recreational area contexts. The lack of attention is concerning, especially as mobile technology offer many novel options for visitor monitoring and education purposes in the management of recreational areas. The objective of this project is to address this knowledge gap by introducing: a) the design, development and implementation of mobile app technology for visitor monitoring and education purposes; and b) new research ideas with a focus on how a mobile app framework can assist in advancing current monitoring and educational activities in recreational management. In practice, this means that the project will give attention to several research opportunities that will be examined in congruence with the mobile app development process. Two project teams, one in New Zealand and one in Sweden, will undertake this work by sharing international experiences and strategies. This work includes theoretical considerations from park management and visitor monitoring practices, to technological, educational and socio-cultural considerations around the use of mobile technology. The project will be structured as a comparative study with a base in two case study areas following the same mobile app framework. This involves a refinement of the framework by applying and testing it in both study contexts, and use the obtained experiences to evaluate its success as well as transferability across socio-cultural and educational contexts.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The project proposes the development of a digital platform for visitor monitoring and education in the management of sustainable outdoor recreation and tourism. Visitor monitoring and education are important activities in modern outdoor recreation and tourism management, and have long been two central research themes among outdoor and tourism researchers, both in Sweden and internationally. The introduction of emerging technologies is important because it allows the development of more efficient visitor management and unique educational opportunities. This development, in turn, promotes more sustainable outdoor recreation and tourism activities through knowledge and education of visitors when they are engaging with nature. The aim of this project is to address the design, development and implementation of a digital platform for visitor monitoring and education, focusing on smart digital technology in the advancement of sustainable management of outdoor recreation and tourism. The project will draw attention to several research and development opportunities that will be examined in relation to the use of the digital platform. This includes theoretical considerations from various disciplines within area management and visitor monitoring to technical, educational, socio-cultural and experiential reflections on visitors’ use of digital learning in recreational areas. Two project groups, one in Sweden and one in New Zealand, are responsible for the project.

Nasjonalparker – fra fjell til kyst
- 2017
-
Ingår i: PLAN. - 0805-083X .- 1504-3045. ; :06
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- En trend i norsk vernepolitikk er at nye nasjonalparker ikke bare etableres i fjellområder, men i stor grad langs kysten hvor beskyttelse av det marine miljøet utgjør et sentralt vernemotiv. Ytre Hvaler nasjonalpark ble etablert i 2009, samtidig med Kosterhavet Nationalpark på svensk side. I 2013 ble Færder nasjonalpark i Tjøme og Nøtterøy kommuner innviet, mens Jomfruland (Telemark) og Raet (Aust-Agder) begge ble etablert i 2016. Hvilke nye utfordringer innebærer kystparkene for nasjonalparkforvaltningen, spesielt med henblikk på planlegging av reise-livsutvikling og friluftsliv, og hvilken grad er eksisterende forvaltningsmessige rammeverk tilpasset denne type områder?
