      Protected area management can be highly contentious. Information about the acceptability of conservation actions can help environmental authorities design policies that are accepted locally, and identify potential areas of conflict between land users and conservation objectives. In this study, we implemented a spatially-explicit method for eliciting public preferences for land use and conservation ...
    • Identifying spatial overlap in the values of locals, domestic- and international tourists to protected areas 

      Muñoz, Lorena; Hausner, Vera Helene; Brown, Greg; Runge, Claire Alice; Fauchald, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-22)
      Nature-based tourism is increasingly encouraged to support local socioeconomic development in and around protected areas, but managing protected areas for tourism could challenge existing park uses associated with self-organized outdoor recreation and local resource use. We used a web-based Public Participatory Geographic Information System (PPGIS) to identify the most important places and values ...
    • Pan-Arctic analysis of cultural ecosystem services using social media and automated content analysis 

      Runge, Claire Alice; Hausner, Vera Helene; daigle, remi; Monz, Christoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-02)
      In the Arctic, as in many parts of the world, interactions with the natural world are an important part of people's experience and are often recorded in photographs. Emerging methods for automated content analysis of social media data offers opportunities to discover information on cultural ecosystem services from photographs across large samples of people and countries. We analysed over 800 000 ...
    • Quantifying tourism booms and the increasing footprint in the Arctic with social media data 

      Runge, Claire Alice; Remi, Daigle; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-16)
      Arctic tourism has rapidly increased in the past two decades. We used social media data to examine localized tourism booms and quantify the spatial expansion of the Arctic tourism footprint. We extracted geotagged locations from over 800,000 photos on Flickr and mapped these across space and time. We critically examine the use of social media as a data source in data-poor regions, and find that while ...
    • Using crowdsourced spatial data from Flickr vs. PPGIS for understanding nature's contribution to people in Southern Norway 

      Munoz, Lorena; Hausner, Vera Helene; Runge, Claire Alice; Brown, Greg; Daigle, Remi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-20)
      <ol> <li>Crowdsourced data can provide spatially explicit data on the contribution of nature to people. Spatial information is essential for effectively managing the diverse relationships that people have with nature, but the potential and limits of using crowdsourcing data to generate maps for conservation purposes need further research. </li><p> <p><li>Passive crowdsourcing tools include social ...
