Complex effects of natural disasters on protected areas
2022
It is now broadly recognised that in order to be sustainable, protected areas (PAs) must bring concrete benefits to local populations who suffer from the restrictions imposed for conservation. Natural disasters, such as major floods, bring additional challenges to conservation efforts and related support activities, notably nature-based tourism. Disasters often intensify conflicts between conservation objectives and local community needs, but they may also bring some mutual benefits. Reduced income from decreased nature-based tourism can, for example, lead to expansion of agricultural fields to protected forests, and subsequent land-use conflicts. Yet, disasters can also strengthen feelings…

Kestävän kehityksen toteuttaminen maaseutumatkailuyrityksissä
2015
Matkailualalla kaiken kokoisilta yrityksiltä edellytetään kestävän kehityksen mukaista toimintaa. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään miten mikrokokoiset maatilamatkailuyritykset toteuttavat kestävyyttä toiminnassaan. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan maaseutumatkailuyrityksien fyysisessä ja sosiaalisessa toimintaympäristössä sekä operatiivisissa toiminnoissa toteuttamia vastuullisia toimenpiteitä sekä avataan toimintatapoihin vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu vastuullisen yritystoiminnan taustalla olevista teorioista, sidosryhmäteoriasta sekä kestävän kehityksen käsitteestä. Tutkimusaineisto koostui 26 maaseutumatkailuyrityksen haastattelusta. Haastatteluista käy ilmi, että maa…
Exploring the potential of an air transport eco-label
2018
Air transport plays a vital role in tourism because it makes long-haul destinations accessible and more frequent vacations possible. Despite its benefits, air travel extensively contributes to climate change. Behavioural change is seen as a key driver in mitigating the environmental impacts of air transport. One way to encourage behavioural change is the use of eco-labels. This paper presents the idea of introducing an air transport eco-label. It explores the idea’s potential and realization through the thematic analysis of 12 interviews with airline industry experts. The results indicated a need for an air transport eco-label. It could help build awareness among air travellers by providing…
Chasing writers’ ghosts through a modern city : Augmenting urban space with literary connections during the Tove Jansson walk in Helsinki
2019
The article employs the theme of a literary walk (Watson 2009), a practice of encountering places with literary associations on foot. Urban areas present especially suitable settings for such themed walks, as cities can have multiple literary connections, and literary places are located within a short distance from one another. In this paper, I focus on the sites associated with Tove Jansson (1914– 2001), a Finnish-Swedish artist and writer, internationally known for her books about the Moomins. The study utilises an autoethnographic approach and draws on observations at the sites with connections to Jansson in Helsinki, organised spatially into a walk around the city. I analyse how urban s…
