COVID-19 increased urban Irish trail usage. Harmonizing diverse data is vital for effective management. Future research should encourage sustained trail use and streamline dataset coordination. @_dpower @barrylambeSETU @niamhmurphywit Full access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Social, ecological & behavioral elements significantly influence visitor decision-making and experience in parks. Resource managers should adopt a broad social-ecological systems approach, especially during global pandemics @dtevensen @UofNH @EdinburghUni sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

During the pandemic, mountain bikers preferred urban parks, while hikers chose remote large parks. Managers enhance monitoring with volunteered geographic information. @pumicegirl @pat_m_norman @Griffith_Uni Full access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This study shows the need for DMOs for #natural #outdoor #destinations to collaborate and to incorporate #local #imaginaries that constitute the local #sense of #place. Outdoor #activities should be promoted as place-based #recreational activities

Findings show how the #construction and #projection of #online #destination #image still follows a limited conventional #strategy based on specific #markets and ad hoc #activities #Spain #basquecountry

The study bridges the research gap around #destination #image projection for #outdoor #destinations, ie the potential of using #sense of #place for these destinations #openaccess Introducing sense of place narratives in image projection for marine d... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@skipedia Overall, the Trois Vallées offer ca 600 km of ski slopes compared to the 300 of the Espace Killy...

"Visitors in Val d'Isere can choose from over 300km of slopes as opposed to only 150km in Courchevel" Can anyone spot the potential flaw in this argument? ow.ly/U9uZ50QowVi #les3vallees

Especially on routes that allow fast biking (e.g., downhill trails), this can cause anxiety among #hikers. In heavily used recreational areas, routes should be separated for the two groups. A combination of different spatial, communicative, & legal measures can reduce #conflicts

Soft #measures like the opening of #forest paths for #bikers and an official bike trail were better accepted than the hard measure of a #transport ban for #bicycles.

This study evaluates a broad set of measures to reduce #conflicts between #bikers and #hikers in the Uetliberg #urban #forest in #Zurich #Switzerland #openaccess @WSL_research Biking-hiking conflicts and their mitigation in urban recreation areas... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
