[email protected] Abstract This study investigates the impacts of tourism on vegetation and soil on campsites in Pallas- Yllästunturi National Park, Northern Finland. Altogether, 19 campsites were surveyed to estimate the current condition of campsites and to specify factors affecting the amount of disturbance. Our results indicate that the location of campsite structures is the most important factor determining the size of disturbed area on campsites. Distance between wilderness huts and campfire sites explained the size of disturbed area, whereas the age of the campsite and number of visitors had no impact. The total disturbed area on campsites varied between different vegetation types, moun- tain biotopes being the most sensitive. Our results suggest that the disturbed area can be mini- mized by locating campsites in trampling tolerant environments and by building the structures compactly within each campsite.

NOVALIS (Friedrich von Hardenberg). Everything possible to be believ'd is an image of truth. WILLIAM BLAKE. 2 TO MY WIFE PREFACE THESE Excursions in the Byways of Thought were undertaken at different times and on different occasions; consequently, the reader may be able to detect in them inequalities of treatment. He may feel that I have lingered too long in some byways and hurried too rapidly through others, taking, as it were, but a general view of the road in the latter case, whilst examining everything that could be seen in the former with, perhaps, undue care. As a matter of fact, how ever, all these excursions have been undertaken with one and the same object in view, that, namely, of understanding aright and appreciating at their true worth some of the more curious byways along which human thought has travelled. It is easy for the superficial thinker to dismiss much of the thought of the past (and, indeed, of the present) as _mere_ superstition, not worth the trouble of investigation: but it is not scientific. There is a reason for every belief, even the most fantastic, and it should be our object to discover this reason. How far, if at all, the reason in any case justifies us in holding a similar belief is, of course, another question. Some of the beliefs I have dealt with I have treated at greater length than others, because it seems to me that the truths of which they are the images-- vague and distorted in many cases though they be--are truths which we have either forgotten nowadays, or are in danger of forgetting.

The idea of ‘wilderness’ in the socio-cultural context of this research does not exclude human-involvement and one might get surprised by how much social life that includes. The area is used by many tourists and some locals for recreation. At the same time the Saami have their reindeer’s pastures in the area. I did my fieldwork in the middle of the wilderness-area by one of the small huts that provide shelter for the hikers. Through participant observation and film I followed the life of this place with the focus on the group of skiers. The huts are important meeting-places as the skiers create a symbolic community among them. In the hut, people can share experiences, stories and advices with each other. The topics of discussion concern almost exclusively Lapland and hiking. In these social situations, images about the place are produced and reproduced.

    1 HOUSE in the WILDERNESS 13Th Shelter International Architectural

    1 HOUSE IN THE WILDERNESS 13 th Shelter International Architectural Design Competition Wilderness is a way and tradition in its own right. If we are willing to be still and open enough to listen, wilderness itself will teach us. 1 INTRODUCTION Throughout history the authentic experience of wilderness has served as a precondition for periods of deep reflection, personal renewal and spiritual awakening. The ritual process as it has been documented by early peoples and the last vestige of contemporary tribal groups point to the necessity of the wilderness as the stage in which humanity has direct and unhindered access to both the powers of the cosmos and the limitless expanse of the unconscious. A direct engagement with the natural environment and its causalities affects the whole person on levels psychological and biological, aligning ones inner rhythms and biological constitution with the patterns found in the natural world. This, as has been documented, results in a superior mode of functioning for the human inhabitant; conversely, the typical urban inhabitant unknowingly resides in an environment that perpetuates increasingly high risks toward the development of psychosis. 2 When removed from the natural environment - our species native home - we suffer the effects of an arguably inhumane isolation from the larger life-giving environment. The reintroduction of wilderness experiences into our contemporary milieu has been met with both positive affirmation as well as prejudicial criticism. However, when studying the work carried out by wilderness practitioners in fields of study such as eco-psychology and deep-ecology the enormous benefits of prolonged exposure to the natural environment cannot be ignored.

Imaginary Lines When I’m playful I use the meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude for a seine, drag the Atlantic Ocean for whales. —MARK TWAIN, Life on the Mississippi Once on a Wednesday excursion when I was a little girl, my father bought me a beaded wire ball that I loved. At a touch, I could collapse the toy into a flat coil between my palms, or pop it open to make a hollow sphere. Rounded out, it resembled a tiny Earth, because its hinged wires traced the same pattern of intersecting circles that I had seen on the globe in my schoolroom— the thin black lines of latitude and longitude. The few colored beads slid along the wire paths haphazardly, like ships on the high seas. My father strode up Fifth Avenue to Rockefeller Center with me on his shoulders, and we stopped to stare at the statue of Atlas, carrying Heaven and Earth on his.
