AuthorReis, A., Jellum, C., Lovelock, B. and Thompson, A.ContributorBruce Jefferies p6 :Biodiversity conservation based on eco-systems approaches and power sharing: Some observations and applied lessons Date1st January 2010DescriptionBuilding a network of nature based recreation researchers across New Zealand and beyond is critical to the sustainability of the sector.
The goal of the first Recreation Values and Natural Areas Research Symposium was to help facilitate such a network. The symposium was organised by the University of Otago‟s Centre for Recreation Research (CRR) and held on the 18th and 19th March 2010 at St Margaret‟s College, Dunedin.
The aim of the symposium was to attract a variety of participants – including government and industry practitioners; established and new postgraduate researchers – and to bring them together under the same roof. In particular it was heartening to see such an interest from key stakeholders such as Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) and the Department of Conservation (DOC) who were well represented at the symposium. SPARC have played an important role in funding innovative research that addresses some of the most pressing challenges in the recreation sector today. And of course
most nature-based recreation occurs on public conservation land, where DOC continues to commission external researchers to pursue relevant research.
In total the symposium attracted over 80 participants with 30 presentations made under the symposium themes which included: Accessibility, Adventure Tourism, Commercial Recreation, Community Recreation Involvement, Ecotourism, Mountain Biking/Cycling, Recreation Resource Management, Socio-cultural Values for Landscape, Technology and Innovation in the Outdoors; and Wilderness Recreation/Tourism.PublisherCentre for Recreation Research, Department of Tourism, School of Business, University of Otago.Publication TypeSymposium reportSubjectRecreation Values and Natural Areas Research
