Natural and Cultural Heritage in Tourism on Gotland Heritage Tourism Characteristics and the Relation of Natural and Cultural Heritage 20 021 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2020 Natural and Cultural Heritage in Tourism on Gotland Heritage Tourism Characteristics and the Relation of Natural and Cultural Heritage Mareike Kerstin Schaub Abstract Natural and Cultural Heritage in Tourism on Gotland Mareike Kerstin Schaub Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten This thesis researches into the heritage tourism characteristics on Gotland. Many destinations see a great potential to develop new tourism products around their Besöksadress: heritage and thus meet a rising demand for enriching and unique visitor experiences. Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 The Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea has a long history as a tourism Hus 4, Plan 0 destination and is rich in heritage resources of diverse origin. A qualitative approach is taken to study which traits characterise heritage related tourism to Gotland, and Postadress: which potentials and challenges are seen by major stakeholders in the tourism and Box 536 751 21 Uppsala heritage development. One protruding result is the strong connection between natural and cultural elements at the heritage sites as well as in tourism demand. Also Telefon: the tourism strategy for Gotland strives for a further development of nature and 018 – 471 30 03 culture as thematic tourism areas. Hence, a closer look is taken into the relation of Telefax: these two heritage elements. With help of the concept and methodology of 018 – 471 30 00 heritagescapes two heritage sites have been analysed in a case study approach. The result shows that the integration of natural and cultural heritage to create cohesive Hemsida: and immersive visitor experiences at one site is challenging. However, taking both http://www.teknat.uu.se/student heritage elements into account can create synergies and they enhance how the respective other heritage element is experienced. This can broaden which visitor groups are attracted and in which season. Furthermore, the heritagescape approach gives practical management implications for the sites.

Statement of Interest As the final project for the specialisation in heritage politics in Sustainable Destination Development in the first year of my master studies, my class and I focused on the idea to develop a Gutasaga trail. A heritage trail that would connect natural and cultural sites mentioned in the creation story of Gotland. It was probably that project which really sparked my interest in all the diverse, minor, and less-known heritage places found all over the island. The summer after I cycled a few days on the island – a wonderful way to explore and stop at every place catching my attention – and travelled with my family enjoying the nature and history. Astonished by all the places to explore, I began to think about that this really could be an insightful area to investigate for my master thesis: What is the natural heritage of the island? To which time periods dates the cultural heritage? Whose stories are being told? Who is taking care of all the places – and how? Who is visiting them? How can heritage contribute to a more sustainable tourism development on the island? All and more of these questions came up, really: What is heritage tourism on Gotland? However, a major focus of my work remained unclear; I was thinking about going more into the possibilities and challenges of heritage trails but due to the covid-19 outbreak some interviews in this direction could not be conducted. Moreover, I started to analyse the interviews I had. The perspective of these major stakeholders in heritage and tourism development on Gotland pointed towards another focus: Heritage and heritage tourism is both – nature and culture – and I realised that it was this combination which made me so fascinated – and probably not only me. Besides the interest from the Gutasaga project and my travels on Gotland, I could reflect on an internship experience where I took part in developing a cycling route. In that project, it got pretty clear that it is quite challenging but vital to bring nature and culture together in the tourism experience. Another important impulse for my work was a guest lecture by Katherine Burlingame about “dead landscapes – and how to make them live”. She focused on the analysis of heritage sites as landscapes – which seemed like a well-fitting approach to me. I could connect experiences of natural and cultural heritage through my own observations in times where tourism stands still and tourism actors cannot answer students’ interview requests anymore. 1 1.2. Statement of Purpose Almost always without failing, when scholars write of heritage tourism, they are referring to cultural heritage. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that heritage can be both cultural (of human origin) or natural, as both elements are inheritances from the past that are used for the present as tourism or recreational resources (Timothy 2011, p. 475). Heritage tourism, as tourism in general, has seen a global, long-term and on-going growth (Light 2015, pp. 146–148). Besides an increase in leisure time and better economic possibilities for many to travel in general, heritage tourism is profiting from other trends. There is a shift in visitor motivations and interests towards more enriching and unique experiences instead of the standard sun and beach holidays (Apostolakis 2003, p. 796). Thus, the supply side changed as well. More destinations wish to use heritage in their product portfolio creating unique images (Opačić 2019, p. 183) and heritage managers try to seek economic benefits and share their vision with the public (Timothy 2011, p. 275). Gotland is no exception (Region Gotland 2019b). However, to realise the potential and make use of an ongoing demand, careful planning and management is needed to valorise heritage sites in a sustainable manner (e.g. Grimwade and Carter 2000; Millar 1989; Opačić 2019; Timothy 2011). Approaches to this are as manifold as the challenges

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law 53 (2021) Who Owns Ocean Biodiversity?: The Legal Status and Role of Patents as a Means to Achieve Equitable Distribution of Benefits Abhaya Ganashree* Abstract The technological race to obtain genetic material from the ocean floors has been led by the economically advanced states of the global North. It has been a race for obtaining mineral resources among states, dominated by Inter-State competition for land, people and money. However, when the issue concerns mineral resources found in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), there is potential for either competition or cooperation among nation-states. Deep-sea mining and bioprospecting are particularly divisive.

Where the former is a silent disease with slow expansion of the infrarenal aorta, rAAA is symptomatic with abdominal/back pain and possibly even hemorrhagic shock. Repair of an iAAA has low mortality rates while repair of rAAA is associated with much higher complication rates and postoperative mortality.

Our aim is to nd out whether winter road salting affects wash frequency, the use of car cleaners and corrosion. Compilation of the responses shows that there are signicant differences in the care of cars between the island of Gotland (unsalted) and the Swedish mainland opposite Gotland (salted), and between part of Vaster- botten County (lightly salted) and part of Vasternorrland County (salted). We consider that if salt application were discontinued, wash frequency would be cut by ca 30% and the use of degreasers and screen wash uid would be reduced by 4070%.

  • Gotlandic Villas Implications of the Distribution of High Status Finds in Gotlandic Iron Age Houses Known As “Kämpgravar”
    Gotlandic Villas Implications of the distribution of high status finds in Gotlandic Iron Age houses known as “kämpgravar” By: Jonathan Nilsson Two years master’s thesis in Archaeology Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University: Campus Gotland Supervisor: Paul Wallin Co-supervisors: Gustaf Svedjemo & Alexander Andreeff Abstract Author: Jonathan Nilsson Swedish title: Gotländska Villor: Implikationer baserat på distributeringen av högstatusfynd i gotländska järnåldershus kallade ”kämpgravar”. English title: Gotlandic Villas: Implications of the Distribution of High Status Finds in Gotlandic Iron Age Houses Known as “kämpgravar”. Supervisors: Paul Wallin, Gustaf Svedjemo & Alexander Andreeff Swedish abstract: Det huvudsakliga målet med denna uppsats är dels att ge bra överblick över fynden som påträffats i de gotländska stengrundshusen (kämpgravar) som byggdes flitigt under järnåldern och att dels se om det är möjligt att separera vissa hus från andra och spåra social stratifikation och hierarkier baserat på fyndmaterialet. De föremål som var av speciellt intresse för detta mål är de som kan kopplas till rikedom såsom exempelvis exotiska dryckesföremål, romerska föremål och föremål av ädelmetall. Undersökningen har visat att det på Gotland faktiskt fanns en del, ofta enorma, hus som hade en speciell benägenhet att hamstra exotiska dyrgripar. De riktiga utstickarna på det här temat är huset känt som Stavgard och även den nyligen undersökta byggnaden i Hellvi. Båda hade rika mängder av dryckesobjekt såsom glaskärl och
