    Salmon angling as a resource in regional development in the Swedish counties Norrbotten and Västerbotten1998In: Recreational Fisheries: Social, Economic and Management Aspects / [ed] Phil Hickley and Helena Tompkins, Oxford: Fishing News Books Ltd , 1998, p. 142-149Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Around the world, sportfishing for salmon is a major industry. Rivers attracting salmon anglers can make a big contribution to the local economy. As a result of exploitation and environmental impacts most of the approximately 70 former salmon rivers in the Baltic basin have been damaged and lost their spawning capacity. There is, however, a big potential for salmon angling in the remaining salmon rivers entering the Baltic sea, especially in the Swedish counties of Norrbotten and Västerbotten in north Sweden. The chapter aims to describe the effects of a possible future situation with full scale sportfishing for salmon in northern Sweden. An assessment was made of the aggregate economic effects based on the hypothetical future scenario taking into account the potential amount of salmon returning to the rivers included in our study. The economic estimate is based on a catch amounting to 300 tonnes per year. This return may support an angling activity with approximately 300 000 days in the whole region. Transformed into economic terms this could lead to a total economic impact of about SEK200 million per annum, economic multipliers included.

    Cultural promotion of place as 'northern' space: the case of the Umeå2014 - European Capital of Culture event2020In: Urban events, place branding and promotion: place event marketing / [ed] Waldemar Cudny, London: Routledge, 2020, 1, p. 25-46Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Culture is a sector that in last years have become more apparent in urban development strategies. A cultural driven growth strategy was visible in the northern Swedish city of Umeå, when hosting the European Capital of Culture in 2014. The choice of Umeå as the Swedish ECoC was heavily dependent on its focus on Sami culture. Single events within the yearlong program where mostly to be found within the city of Umeå. While Sami culture and other regional cultural expressions were part of representations of northern spaces transcending beyond the place space of urban Umeå. This spatial duality reflected in the Umeå2014 program is partly reproduced in the general promotion endeavors' of Umeå. The city is branded as a young, open, growing city and as a part of a larger regional setting containing natural and regional resources, including Sami culture. The chapter is based on literature review, thematic analysis of websites for Umeå2014, documents from Umeå municipality, and on author's direct observation. Analysis of the spatial dimensions expressed through single events included in the program year in Umeå2014 reveals mixed spatial references, with a particular focus on northern spaces.

    The spawning salmon as a resource by recreational use : the case of the wild Baltic salmon and conditions for angling in north Swedish rivers2001Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of the thesis is to analyse the preconditions for increasedsalmon angling in the remaining wild salmon rivers in Upper Norrland in northernSweden, as well as to evaluate the present and possible future impacts on the localeconomy. It includes the identification of the internal and external conditions, in what ishere called the Salmon Utilisation Landscape, that influence the present use as well asfuture development of the Baltic salmon as a resource in angling. The empirical materialsderive from two mail surveys, 1) a survey of anglers in the River Byske and 2) a jointNordic survey on the economic value of recreational fishing.Interest in recreational fishing is widespread in Sweden. About 35 % of adultSwedes fish for recreation. Recreational fishery and angling can be seen as one expressionof the urbanised society's need for contact with nature and outdoor recreation. Salmonangling is one part of recreational fishery. Salmon are considered by many to be the 'biggame' of angling. Salmon anglers are often the most devoted kind of anglers, investingconsiderable resources into this leisure activity. The subgroup of Swedish salmon anglingspecialists is estimated at 10-30,000 persons. The wider category of Active River anglersconsists of approximately 170,000 persons.Salmon fishing in the River Byske has turned out to be representative of salmonangling in Upper Norrland, comparable with other high-class Scandinavian salmon rivers.The growing proportion of remote anglers in the 1990s indicates that the Byske hasbecome a rather specialised angling water. The groups of Fishing tourists and Home fishersmake up two distinctive categories. Fishing tourists fish more intensively, have higher dailyexpenditures and show higher consumer surplus. They fish the river almost entirely forsalmon in. On the other hand, Home fishers to a large extent claim the right to fish fordecent prices and without any particular restrictions. During the 1990s, the average annualincome to the local economy of Byske river valley derived from salmon angling fishingtourism was about 850,000 SEK.Many river habitats have been depleted during the 20th century and many salmonstocks were exterminated by severe degeneration factors linked to industrialisation. To thisis added the over-fishing on wild stocks of salmon and the mortality syndrome, M74. Theavailable estimates of the potential production of wild salmon smolt in Upper Norrlandaggregates close to 1.2 million. This can be converted to an angling activity of some250,000 fishing days.On the basis of the prevailing cost level, the potential angling activity in UpperNorrland would amount to a direct annual turnover of 75 million SEK, however theimpact caused by fishing tourism is likely to remain within the interval of 10 - 30 millionSEK. The Active River anglers' average willingness to pay for annual access to a salmon andsea trout scenario was 1,100 SEK per capita. There is a widespread attitude among manyanglers that fishing should be accessible for all and prices should be kept low. In theNordic context such opinions are especially evident among Swedish anglers in general, butless frequent among devoted salmon anglers.

    Regional patterns in Swedish recreational fisheries2003In: Regional Experiences for Global Solutions / [ed] APM Coleman, Darwin, 2003, p. 39-42Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Interest in Sweden, as in the other Nordic countries, for recreational fishing is widespread. About 35 % of adult Swedes fish for recreation. However, different regional patterns are evident concerning participation, attitudes towards the use of national resources and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for access to recreational fishing. One factor is to be found in the regional differences within Sweden: the population found in rural areas is generally more interested in fishing than people in urban areas. The recreational fishermen in the peripheral areas have, on the other hand, lower relative WTP for their fishing.

    Swedish recreational fisheries is based on roughly 10-20 % of the overall Swedish catch, while the yearly expenditure by recreational fishermen is about three times larger than the value derived from the commercial fisheries in Sweden. In a recent public survey, preservation and environmental issues concerning the overall fish stock was stressed, with the proposition of a general fishing fee in Sweden (long present in the other Nordic countries). The paper is based mainly on analysis of the Swedish component of a large Nordic survey. A comparison is also made with contemporary material from the official Swedish survey on recreational fisheries.

    Monuments and their functions in urban public space2019In: Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift, ISSN 0029-1951, E-ISSN 1502-5292, Vol. 73, no 5, p. 273-289Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of the article is to present and discuss functions of public monuments in relation to different dimensions of geographical space. The authors discuss public spaces, monuments, public art, based on a mixed-method approach and an analysis of scientific literature as the main research method. The theoretical discussion is supplemented with the results of Internet searches and an analysis of media supplements, and specific examples are given, including some from Poland. An additional method was autoethnography, which involved an analysis of cultural phenomena based on the authors' experience. The analysis revealed that monuments were part of public art and thus enriched public spaces in cities. They fulfilled different important functions: artistic, symbolic, commemorative, political, social, religious, marketing, and mixed. Additionally, the monuments reflected the contemporary transformation of ideas and social orders and therefore also reflected contemporary urban debates. They were products of social relations, powers, ideas, identities, and the collective memory reflected in the urban spatial structure of cities. The authors conclude that the examples presented in the demonstrate that monuments perform various functions in urban public spaces. From a spatial perspective, the role of monuments depends on their different impacts on people's perceptions and interpretations of space.

    Methodological, conceptual and sampling practices in surveying recreational fisheries in the Nordic countries: experiences of a valuation survey2001In: Fisheries Management and Ecology, ISSN 0969-997X, E-ISSN 1365-2400, Vol. 8, no 4-5, p. 355-367Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The planning and initial phases of a joint Nordic project for the valuation of recreational fisheries is described. The conomic value of recreational fisheries was taken to include non-market value as well as the traditional market value. The design of the survey was similar for each country so as to facilitate future comparison. However, initially there were difficulties in defining categories of recreational fishermen in the different countries. Other background information also had to be adapted to national circumstances. National population registers were used as the sampling frames. The effect of this on the response from a valuation survey is discussed. Accessibility to population register data varies by country and so do possibilities for random sampling. Legal constrains were faced when implementing a centralised mailing system.

    The economic value of recreational fisheries in Nordic countries2004In: Fisheries Management and Ecology, ISSN 0969-997X, E-ISSN 1365-2400, Vol. 11, no 1, p. 1-14Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Recreational fishing, wether free or at cost, has an economic value. This value was measured in five Nordic countries based on a contingent valuation mail survey. Regression models were used to identify demographic characteristics, types of fishing patterns and differences in the countries' mangement regimes that can explain both actual fishing expenditure and willingness to pay for the non-market benefits by persons participating in fishing or enjoying the benefits derived by it. Net benefit, i.e. willingness to pay over and above actual expenditure was highest amongst those fishing. In Denmark, the small number of generalist fishermen get the highest benefit. In Finland results are mixed but sports fishermen benefit on average even more than generalists. Urban sports fishing raises the highest benefit in Iceland while in Norway the benefit is more equally spread, with occasional anglers and woman reaping the least. In Sweden the mean benefit is the lowest in the Nordic countries but evenly distributed among categories of fishermen. In the Nordic countries combined, nationality explains willingness to pay as being Norwegian or Finnish increases benefit and being Icelandic reduces it. The non-use value of recreational fisheries was elicited through posing questions on willingness to pay for the preservation of the existence of current fish stocks and current quality of recreational fishing to persons participating in fishing or enjoying the benefits derived from it. For those not fishing or people in general, the power of the models to explain willingness to pay for the existence of recreational fisheries was very weak. The benefit, i.e. willingness to pay, is higher if somebody in the houshold fishes. Educated, young, urban, well-off citizens also put value on the non-use of the resource.

    Lax i strida strömmar: Sportfisket som regional utvecklingsresurs1996Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Around the world, sportfishing of salmon is a big industry, examples of which are found in Norway, Iceland, Scotland, Russia, Canada, etc. As shown in many investigations, anglers are willing to spend a lot of time and money on this activity. In Sweden however, there are currently only a few waters with fully developed salmon and sea trout sportfishing i.e. Mörrumsån and Emån in southern Sweden. This study aims to describe the effects of an alternative way to use a nature resource - a future situation with a full scale sportfishing of salmon in northern Sweden. The areas of study are the two northernmost counties in Sweden: Norrbotten and Västerbotten. In this region we find 14 of the about 25 remaining river systems around the Baltic sea which still hold naturally reproducing salmon. As a result of waterpower exploitation and environmental hazards most of the around 70 former salmon rivers which contribute to the water of the Baltic basin are no longer salmon producing. From the remaining rivers in northern Sweden the contemporary catch by anglers is very low. During the last few years it was much less than 1 per cent of the total catch. Most salmons are instead caught by commercial fisheries in the southern part of the Baltic sea. It is estimated that the potential resource of wild salmon in the area studied could support an angling activity up to approx. 300 000 days. This, in return, could, by expenditures at the local level, lead to a total economic impact of about 200 million SEK per annum. Just from the river Byske alone, the economic impact could, according to an optimistic estimate, amount to 25 million SEK. Sportfishing is an important leisure activity for many people in Sweden. It is estimated that there are 40 000 anglers directly oriented towards salmon fishing. Furthermore, there is an additional number of Swedes who are likely to participate in this "big game" fishing. Moreover, there are many residents of neighbouring countries who are active anglers. Therefore the total number of potential anglers is considered to be sufficient for the number of salmon fishing days offered.

    Wild-spawning Baltic Salmon - A Natural Resource Redefined:: From Food To Toys For ”Boys"?1997In: Socio-economics of recreational fishery / [ed] Toivonen A-L and Tuunainen P, Copenhagen, 1997, p. 89-95Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    For many years the wild-spawning Baltic salmon has been in focus as a resource- management problem. A conflict is growing based on the fact that the salmon resource is diminishing while the societal structures such as coast fisheries, organizations, individual fishing enterprises and the leisure interests are calling for a totally different utilization of the salmon resource. Today the political and economic structures set the rules for the management. These structures are normally developing with a heavy inertia - the demands in society are in many aspects well ahead of the structural setting. In many senses this is obviously also true in regard to the Baltic salmon.
