Why visit a nature reserve? : a study about visitors in Skurugata and Stuverydsbäcken (English)
Abstract [sv]

Naturreservat är den vanligaste formen av skyddad natur i Sverige. Många naturreservat bildas med målet att bevara skyddsvärda arter. Vissa naturreservat har fler besökare än andra, detta leder till intressanta frågor om varför. Vad motiverar folk att besöka ett naturreservat? Denna undersökning är gjord i två som innehåller raviner och som därmed har relativt lika estetiska upplevelsevärden. I undersökningen har besökare räknats för att se hur många som besökt naturreservaten under två dagar. Studien består också av en enkätundersökning där enkäter delats ut till besökarna i båda naturreservaten. Frågorna i enkäterna handlade om vad som motiverar besökarna att ta sig till naturreservaten, om hur de tog sig dit samt hur besökarna fick kännedom om naturreservaten. Trots att besökarna enligt svaren i enkäterna tycktes nöjda med sina besök samt verkar ha samma motiveringar till sina besök, hade Skurugata fler besökare än Stuverydsbäcken. Oersaken till detta tros bero på att Skurugata är ett mer känt naturreservat än Stuverydsbäcken.

Abstract [en]

Nature reserves are the most common type of protected landscape designation in Sweden. Many of theise landscapes are protected as nature reserves based on the distribution of specific species. Further, some nature reserves have more visitors than others. These differense lead to interesting qestions. For example, what makes a nature reserve a popular destination? This question is at the base of this researchreport, based on a research in two Swedish nature reserves, Skurugata and Stuverydsbäcken, in Eksjö municipality, Jönköpings province. Visitors at these sites have been counted and many of the visitors have answeed questions about what motivates them to make a visit in the reserve. Also questions about how they travelled to the nature reserve and how they obtained information about the place wereas answered. The result of an analysis of this data shows that Skurugata has more visitors. The result of the questions shows that the motivations and visitor preferences areis not, however, very different. Most of the visitors of both sites reported enjoying being in the nature and and seeing specific features of the particular reserves (canyons). The key difference noted from the survey results was that many visitors to Skurugata did not have any knowledge about Stuverydsbäcken at all, while most of the visitors in Stuverydsbäcken had a knowledge about Skurugata. These similarities and differences are discussed.
