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

Proceedings for the International Congress on Coastal and Marine Tourism (CMT2017) - June 13-16 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden
- 2017
-
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!

Citizen science as a tourist attraction: an active learning tourist experience
- 2022
-
Ingår i: 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

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)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.

Mapping and Evaluating Marine Protected Areas and Ecosystem Services: A Transdisciplinary Delphi Forecasting Process Framework
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2296-701X. ; 9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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).

Land Use Change and the Future of Biodiversity

Ingår i: Perspectives for Biodiversity and Ecosystems. - Cham : Springer. - 2214-2827 .- 2214-2835. - 9783030577094 ; , s. 451-483

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

Destination development based on knowledge and learning: Initiating a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Bohuslän
- 2022
-
Ingår i: 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
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)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.

From rhetoric to knowledge based actions – Challenges for outdoor recreation management in Sweden
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism. - : Elsevier BV. - 2213-0780. ; 7-8, s. 26-34
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper investigates how outdoor recreation is considered in the context of strong biodiversity conservation ambitions, and discusses the challenges associated with outdoor recreation management in two protected areas in Sweden. The research employs qualitative techniques such as interviews with key actors and examinations of documents. The results show that while the two planning processes show a sincere engagement and effort spent on outdoor recreation management, no clear strategies for or systematic treatment of outdoor recreation became apparent. Worse, clear deficits in knowledge and relevant competences have been identified, and generally available scientific knowledge about outdoor recreation has not been utilized. Concerns of outdoor recreation are typically addressed by biologists, instead of professionals with training in any of the social sciences or planning disciplines. Apparently these fundamental deficiencies with regards to outdoor recreation can only be improved if it is recognized as a land use interest in its own right. In order to improve management and planning processes, outdoor recreation needs to be institutionalized, and receive its own management guidelines and formal process agendas.
