[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. -

Faculty of Humanities, Social Science and Education Symbolic and Embodied Involvements in a Landscape A Ski Ethnography of Käsivarsi, Finnish Lapland — Tiia Helena Grøn Master thesis in Visual Cultural Studies May 2016 i ii Symbolic and Embodied Involvements in a Landscape: A ski Ethnography of Käsivarsi, Finnish Lapland By Tiia Helena Grøn Master of Philosophy in Visual Cultural Studies Department of Archeology and Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education University of Tromsø, The Arctic University of Norway SVF-3903 From Fieldwork Experience to Ethnographic film and text Spring 2016 Supervised by associate professor Bjørn Arntsen iii iv Abstract This thesis is about a wilderness-area in Finnish Lapland, people that dwell there and how they perceive the place. 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. -

The most important roads in a country's system that aren't trunk motorways. (Need not necessarily be a divided highway.) The next most important roads in a country's system. primary (Often link larger towns.) The next most important roads in a country's system. secondary (Often link smaller towns and villages.) tertiary The next most important roads in a country's system. The least most important through roads in a country's system – i.e. minor roads of a lower classification than tertiary, but which serve a purpose other than access to unclassified properties. (The word 'unclassified' is a historical artefact of the UK road system and does not mean that the classification is unknown; you can use highway=roadfor that.) Roads which are primarily lined with and serve as an residential access to housing. For access roads to, or within an industrial estate, camp site, business park, car park etc. Can be used in conjunction service withservice=* to indicate the type of usage and with access=* to indicate who can use it and in what circumstances.
