Advantages and Limitations of Using Mobile Apps for Protected Area Monitoring and Management
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-18)Digital technologies, including participatory Internet mapping, social media and smartphones, provide new avenues for research in outdoor recreation and tourism. The potential to reach a greater audience and collect visitation data on a broader scale, with less costs than traditional paper surveys, are key advantages that have increased the use of these novel technologies. Using of mobile apps for ... -
The application of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys and GIS to the analysis and monitoring of recreational trail conditions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-04)Recreational trails are a vital element of protected natural areas (PNAs) infrastructure, which enables visitors to travel through and engage in various activities such as hiking, biking, horse riding. Degradation of trails adversely affects the natural environment as well as the safety and comfort of visitors. As the role of many PNAs is to protect the natural environment and to provide recreational ... -
Building adaptive capacity in a changing arctic by use of technology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12)Rapid Arctic warming, manifested as thawing permafrost, loss of coastal sea ice, sea level rise, and climate-related extreme events, is particularly challenging for Indigenous people relying on wild food to sustain their livelihood and culture. The adoption of new technologies could provide specific capabilities to confront vulnerabilities associated with fishing and hunting activities, but it could ... -
Drones as a tool to monitor human impacts and vegetation changes in parks and protected areas
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-04)Increased visitation to protected areas could have adverse impacts on the conservation values in the protected areas, and therefore effective visitor monitoring methods are needed to meet the complex management challenges that arise. Collecting data on human impacts is highly time consuming, thus requiring more effective tools that allow for high-quality and long-term measurements. In this study, ... -
Efficient sampling for ecosystem service supply assessment at a landscape scale
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-19)Decision makers and stakeholders need high-quality data to manage ecosystem services (ES) efficiently. Landscape-level data on ES that are of sufficient quality to identify spatial tradeoffs, co-occurrence and hotspots of ES are costly to collect, and it is therefore important to increase the efficiency of sampling of primary data. We demonstrate how ES could be assessed more efficiently through ... -
Nature-based tourism, resource dependence, and resilience of Arctic communities: framing complex issues in a changing environment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019-05-16)Current research on tourism in the Arctic has focused largely on the extent, location, and type of tourism activities that occur in the region. Recently, challenges have been identified that the tourism industry is likely to face in the wake of global changes, including climate change. Related research, conducted within and outside of the Arctic, suggests that rural communities can become economically ... -
Understanding and managing the interactions of impacts from nature-based recreation and climate change
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-04)Disturbance to ecosystems in parks and protected areas from nature-based tourism and recreation is increasing in scale and severity, as are the impacts of climate change—but there is limited research examining the degree to which these anthropogenic disturbances interact. In this perspective paper, we draw on the available literature to expose complex recreation and climate interactions that may ...
