Asplan Viak AS has been lead partner with responsibility for the project management and coordination of different subjects, both within this specific assignment and with the other studies which are part of Phase 2. Asplan Viak has been responsible for developing an assessment methodology for the following subjects: • Subject 1 - Landscape analyses • Subject 2 - Environmental intervention effects • Subject 3 - Effects on noise Part of Subject 3 – effects on noise - has been carried out in collaboration with Brekke and Strand Akustikk AS, represented by Dr. ing Arild Brekke. VWI Stuttgart has been responsible for the other part of Subject 3 which concerns developing a methodology for assessing effects on energy consumption. VWI’s representative has been Dr.ing. Harry Dobeschinsky. MiSA, represented by PhD Håvard Bergsdal, has been responsible for developing a methodology for Subject 4 – Assessment of climate related environmental effects.

  • Monitoring Anthropogenic Activity in the Hardangervidda Wild Reindeer Range Possible Applications of Crowdsourced Strava-Data in Remote Settings
    Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics. Department of Arctic and Marine Biology. Monitoring anthropogenic activity in the Hardangervidda wild reindeer range Possible applications of crowdsourced Strava-data in remote settings Vilde Grøthe Holtmoen Master’s thesis in Biology, BIO-3950, May 2021 Preface This master thesis (60ECTS) was written as the final thesis of the study-program Masters in Biology at University of Tromsø (UiT), faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics, department of Arctic and Marine Biology. My supervisors has been Audun Stien (UiT) and Vegard Gundersen (NINA, dep. Lillehammer). Maps showing habitat suitability for wild reindeer on Hardangervidda in summer used in this thesis, was created by Manuela Panzacchi and Bram Van Moorter for NINA’s project Renewable Reindeer (RenewableReindeer (nina.no)) and will be published in an upcoming report (Tema-rapport) for NINA in 2021 (Panzacchi et.al., 2021, in press). Methods, analyses and results are previously published in Panzacchi et.al., 2015a. NINA had the main idea for this thesis and has contributed with the material for my analyses such as raw data from automatic counters, Strava-data and GPS-data from GPS-collared wild reindeer. 2 Abstract Seen in light of the increasing interest of nature-based tourism and recreational outdoor activities in Norway the last decades (Reimers, Eftestøl & Colman, 2003; Haukeland, Grue & Veisten, 2010), spatiotemporal information on human activity in remote areas and knowledge about how this activity may affect wildlife and nature is a crucial part of a knowledge-based management (Gundersen et.al., 2011, p.14; Gundersen, Strand & Punsvik, 2016, p.166). Hardangervidda is the largest national park in mainland Norway and is also home to the largest population of wild mountain reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus), a specie of international responsibility in management and conservation and recently added to the Norwegian red list (Kjørstad et.al., 2017, p.26; Artsdatabanken, 2021).

Denne bestandsplanen er en videreføring at tidligere driftsplaner og bestandsplan for villreinen på Blefjell. Den første planen utarbeidet i 1991. Den plan avløser planen 2013-2015. Tellende areal som ligger til grunn for denne plan, ble godkjent på årsmøtet i Blefjell Villreinutvalg den 7.5.2004 . Det finnes ingen opplysninger om ut-/innvandring mellom Hardangervidda og Blefjell siden midten av syttitallet. Målsetting Det er ønskelig å bevare en produktiv og livskraftig reinstamme på Blefjell også i fremtiden. Villreinjakt på Ble-reinen er et av flere virkemidler for å nå dette mål. Bestandsplanen skal være et redskap for villreinforvaltningen på Blefjell til å nå målene om en bærekraftig stamme. Stammen skal bestå av tilstrekkelig mange storbukker samt store og livskraftige simler i vinterstammen. Stammen skal etter jakten 2018 ha tilnærmet denne sammensetning: _ Ca 20 % storbukk _ Ca 15 % kalv _ Ca 40 % simler i produksjonsalder 2,5 år + _ Ca 25 % andre (ungdyr/ simler uten kalv og mindre bukker) Vinterstammen størrelse: Rundt 150 dyr totalt. 3 BLEFJELL VILLREINOMRÅDE Området. Blefjell villreinområde ligger i Buskerud og Telemark fylke. Deler av følgende kommuner har jaktrett etter rein på Blefjell.; Rollag Flesberg Notodden Tinn Jaktfeltgrenser (Howlid 2010) 4 BLEFJELL VILLREINOMRÅDE Blefjell villreinområder er et vald med følgende jaktfelt: Tellende areal.
