The concept of transdisciplinarity (TD) has been introduced to find solutions for complex sustainability challenges via knowledge co-production by scientists and societal actors. The understanding of the societal role of universities is a critical factor when implementing transdisciplinarity in the academic systems of Post-Soviet countries, given their historic development. Using Armenia as a case, we adopted a qualitative research approach by analyzing legal documents, conducting semi-structured expert interviews and focus group discussions with a range of stakeholders. We identified discrepancies of expectations between stakeholders as challenges for a joint understanding of the societal role of universities, as well as differently perceived competences and motivations, which can lead to trust deficits. The results are discussed according to four main features of transdisciplinarity: focusing on real-life problems, transcending and integrating disciplinary paradigms, ensuring participatory research and teaching, and searching for unity of knowledge beyond disciplines. Findings show that no formal obstacles exist for implementing transdisciplinarity in two Armenian universities and that the societal understanding of the role of universities could be expanded. Yet, while society is in principle ready for collaboration, the initiative is expected to come from academia. A particular responsibility will lie with teachers from the younger generation to become key-agents for change.

This study presents challenges and potentials of local and traditional nature-related knowledge as a tourism resource and reveals how it fits into the process of constructing and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Furthermore it proposes an analytical framework for in-depth research on concrete cases. The study contributes to the emerging discussion on the tension between safeguarding and commodifying ICH by an interdisciplinary literature review and interviews with key stakeholders in Austria. The study analyses experts’ opinions and presents some domains of ‘local’ or ‘traditional’ nature-related knowledge from Austria, considered as ICH and valorised through tourism and leisure offers. The commercial use of this knowledge and the simultaneous effort to safeguard it as ICH bring numerous actors from tourism and heritage organisations and their interests into conflict. UNESCO’s influence in heritage-making and valorisation and the prioritising of certain domains and thus increasing their chance for tourism utilisation are also discussed. Furthermore, findings from the expert interviews reveal that the concepts ‘traditional’ or ‘local’ are problematic in the European context because the boundaries between localities, as well as between experience-based and scientific knowledge are unclear. Issues like ‘uniqueness’ and ‘ownership’ of the knowledge or ICH are also discussed in the interviews.

Mountain protected areas play a fundamental role in the conservation of natural environment and at the same time provide the population with social benefits such as offering space for leisure and recreation. Understanding motivations and behavior of protected area visitors is crucial to effectively manage vulnerable areas. Our objective was to identify the profiles of visitors to a heavily used tourist destination—Kasprowy Wierch within the Tatra National Park (Poland), using the self-organizing maps (SOM) analytical method. In order to explore the socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics of the visitors a total sample of 2488 respondents were interviewed on site. Self-organizing map analysis is based on cerebral processes for managing and storing information in order to classify subjects and/or find relationships among variables. As a result, four heterogeneous tourist profiles were identified. Interestingly, two of these groups (Cluster 1 and Cluster 3), which were found to be the most challenging groups for management purposes, visited the national park for reasons other than its natural attractions. Especially, one sub-segment of Cluster 3 was mainly motivated by the possibility to use a cable car, admiring views and stayed within close proximity of the upper cable car station. Less than a half of visitors to Kasprowy Wierch (42%) were seeking a nature experience during their trip (Cluster 2 and Cluster 4). The results bring a new point of view in the discussion on visitor management within Kasprowy Wierch region, in particular by overlapping presented visitor segmentation with trip types and/or purchased cable car tickets. Within international context, we highlight the SOM technique as a valuable tool in profiling of tourists and underline the problem of the existence of mass tourism destinations within protected areas.

Tourism in rural regions of Georgia has a long tradition; however, many structures had been developed during Soviet times under the framework of a centrally planned economy and forced collectivism. Today, Rural Tourism is widely discussed by the national government and international cooperation partners as a means for regional development and as an alternative source of employment in agricultural areas and mountain regions. The purpose of this study is to develop suggestions for the institutionalization of Rural Tourism in the country and to propose relevant actions. Research methods comprised a document analysis, qualitative interviews with various stakeholders, and focus group discussions. We analyzed recent tendencies and challenges of rural tourism development in Georgia with a focus on the concept of community-based tourism and integrated rural development. We also review the challenges of the current structure of tourism marketing on the national level with regard to Rural Tourism products. The key findings of the research include recommendations to create a central leading structure for rural tourism at the national level, which will work on strategic issues and general norms of Rural Tourism. At the same time, we propose the development of destination management organizations, which will integrate general provisions in regional legislation and marketing in close cooperation with local stakeholders.

New trends in leisure and outdoor recreation show an increased penetration of remote areas and the development of spatially unconstrained outdoor recreational activities. Here we present the application of GPS tracking to monitor a spatially unconstrained recreational activity, using ski touring in the Tatra National Park (TNP) as a study case. Particular focus of the study was the spatial and temporal behaviour of ski tourers with regard to existing management measures implemented in the Park, where recreation is limited to designated zones. The research is based upon empirical data (n = 427 ski touring GPS tracks). ArcGIS and statistics software SPSS were used for spatial and statistical analyses. Our work provides detailed insights into spatial and temporal aspects of ski tourers' behaviour. Results show significant differences of use across valleys in terms of use intensity, tour length and duration as well as movement outside of designated ski touring zones. While the central part of TNP attracts the majority of ski tourers (68%) their trips tend to be short (mean values = 13 km; 5 h) and mostly within the designated zones (12% off-limits). In contrast, we found that the western valleys are visited less often but the ski tours are significantly longer (mean values = 17 km; 7 h) and frequently beyond the designated limits (21–25% off-limits). Finding adequate tools enabling better understanding of visitor behaviour is crucial for an effective management of emerging leisure activities in vulnerable environments. GPS tracking allows registering visitors' movement trajectories to be analysed both at an individual and a collective level. The results can be practically used to improve visitor management strategies in TNP. We conclude that GPS tracking is a reliable tool allowing monitoring of spatially unconstrained outdoor recreational activities.

Urban public spaces are important areas for leisure, recreation and physical activity and therefore contribute to the quality of life in cities. In particular, for adolescents they provide important spaces to meet with their peers, away from parental or school control. In many cities worldwide, public spaces have undergone severe developmental processes, and often a withdrawal from public space is noted. With regard to the opportunities those spaces provide for adolescents, it is necessary to investigate their current meaning for adolescents in a leisure context. In this article, qualitative research methods were used to investigate factors affecting adolescents’ use of public spaces in Vienna, Austria. In total 45 adolescents were interviewed. Results show that public open spaces are not regarded as important leisure spaces, and data reveal a strong retreat to private areas for leisure purposes. Perceived insecurities and fears support these processes and often result in avoidance of public spaces but also the wish for more control by authorities.

As a consequence of policies such as the EU Public Sector Initiative, authorities across Europe have been moving towards providing free access to a wide range of statistical data and in particular geodata. From the diverse end-users’ perspective (general public, interest groups, students, other authorities, etc.), access to data requires specific knowledge, methods, and guidance in identifying and using the relevant content. Metadata are a key concept for the description and classification of data and thus also for ensuring their long-term value. We analyze the European Data Portal as well as one national metadatabase (Austrian Data Portal) with regard to aspects such as data search functionality, keyword consistency, spatial referencing, data format and data license information. In both cases, we found extensive inconsistencies and conceptual weaknesses that heavily limit the practical accessibility. The mere presence of metadata is no indicator for the usability of the data. We argue for a better definition and structuring of the interface between the numerous data providers and the metadatabases.

In contrast to the reality of global industrialisation, research on individual understandings of the human–nature relationship shows low acceptance of the concept of human Mastery over nature. In qualitative interviews (n = 25) we investigated how actors from river landscape management in Austria perceive this paradox. Results indicate that actors who in their professional life act in the sense of Mastery over nature often interpret their role as Stewardship. Other reasons were seen in discrepancies between (1) private and the professional life, (2) people's vision and reality, and (3) self-reflection and reflection through others. Also social desirability bias and insufficient wording of narratives can affect results significantly. We suggest further exploration of influencing drivers in such surveys and development of tools for group-based reflection of human–nature relationships within planning and governance processes.

Existing frameworks for analysing interactions between social and natural systems (e.g. Social-Ecological Systems framework, Ecosystem Services concept) do not sufficiently consider and operationalize the dynamic interactions between people's values, attitudes and understandings of the human-nature relationship at both individual and collective levels. We highlight the relevance of individual and collective understandings of the human-nature relationship as influencing factors for environmental behaviour, which may be reflected in natural resource management conflicts, and review the diversity of existing social-cultural concepts, frameworks and associated research methods. Particular emphasis is given to the context-sensitivity of social-cultural concepts in decision-making. These aspects are translated into a conceptual model aiming not to replace but to expand and enhance existing frameworks. Integrating this model into existing frameworks provides a tool for the exploration of how social-cultural concepts of nature interact with existing contexts to influence governance of social-ecological systems.

While many theories exist to explain the complexity of environmental behaviour, the role of individuals' relationship with nature has not yet been fully clarified. This paper attempts to operationalise human-nature relationships. It expands upon a scale assessed by an iterative process of mixed methods in the US and Europe. This scale is then used to assess individuals' relationship with nature, and whether such relationships correlate with environmental behaviour. The value scale of Schwartz's Theory of Basic Values is used to validate the results. The results verify that people hold multiple human-nature relationships, confirm strong correlations between human-nature relationships and values, and reveal that individuals' behaviour is connected to the relationship they have with nature.

While ideas about leisure may vary across society and cultures, leisure research itself has been predominantly Western centric. This paper considers leisure within two ethnic communities (Turkish and Chinese) in Vienna, Austria, and examines how the experiences and meanings of leisure are elaborated in these cultural groups. Data from qualitative interviews (n = 80) show that leisure varies strongly between generations; specifically, people who migrate for labour purposes tend to elevate work over leisure. Experiences and meanings of leisure among younger generations are associated more with personal choice and with recovery from work. Results also suggest that immigration processes produce constraints that cause inequalities in access to leisure. Further, cultural background influences leisure attitudes, but does not constitute a barrier to leisure participation.

The complexity of current problems of society, the high level of uncertainty and the high decision stakes involved call for a new form of transdisciplinary knowledge production that integrates society in research processes (Klein et al., Transdisciplinarity: Joint problem solving among science, technology, and society. An effective way for managing complexity, 2001; Hirsch Hadorn et al., Handbook of transdisciplinary research, 2008; Bammer, Ecol Soc, 10, 2005; Gibbons et al., The new production of knowledge: The dynamics of science and research in contemporary societies, 1994; Funtowicz and Ravetz, Futures 25: 739–755, 1993). Didn’t transdisciplinarity actually exist before this discourse, but under different names? Has transdisciplinarity even worked best in traditional applied fields of science that have just not been labelled before as being transdisciplinary, such as agricultural sciences, development studies, medicine or planning? In these fields, cross-disciplinary knowledge integration and participatory research have had a clear instrumental value long before the current discourse on transdisciplinarity. Therefore, scholars from such disciplines might challenge the innovativeness and newness of transdisciplinary research and question its benefit. This chapter looks into the merits of researching and teaching transdisciplinarity on top of doing it. International and cross-disciplinary exchange can address crucial questions of group size and group compositions, adequate funding conditions and methods that help to deal with powerful interest groups and thus contribute to high quality, legitimate and societal effective outcomes of transdisciplinary research processes. By publishing and teaching on transdisciplinarity, we make specific concepts and approaches accessible to the critique of others. Thus we can benefit from the academic principle of scepticism that is a key for quality management and effective innovation processes.

Peri-urban recreational areas and forests provide important services to enhance the physical and mental wellbeing of the urban population. In Austria, peri-urban forests such as the Wienerwald Biosphere Park around the agglomeration area of the capital city Vienna can be accessed for free. Yet, several barriers can limit the access to these places for some segments of society. Currently, an underrepresentation of people from certain ethnic communities has been recognized by the park management. This paper describes the initial phase of a research project investigating this problem with regard to the Turkish community where stakeholders from relevant organisations and administrative authorities were involved in individual interviews and focus group discussions. Our transdisciplinary approach allowed to consider different notions of outdoor recreation and ethnicity and to specify the research direction for this complex topic. Including stakeholders in the initial phase of the research process also involved difficulties, as external views on the Turkish community can cause the reproduction of stereotypes. Results show that stakeholders emphasized a lack of information and awareness as major impact on outdoor recreation participation of Turkish immigrants. Urban immigration raises questions about immigrants and city identities. Urban immigration (or migration) brings about a mutual interaction between the host city and incoming people. This study intends to help to understand this relationship between the city and immigrants by asking how their everyday practices reshape the appreciation for the city’s open spaces. The aim of this study is to gain a multi-layered understanding of the urban landscape preferences of Turkish migrants moving to big cities in Turkey and of immigrants moving to German cities. A two-phased approach is developed. The first phase method enables researchers to compare past and present urban open space uses. The second phase method aims to help to understand current perceptions of immigrants and migrants. Two cities, Istanbul in Turkey and Kassel in Germany, are selected for this second phase study. Results reveal that “educational level”, “home region” and “number of generations” appear among the most important parameters that influence current open space perception and preference. Rural or urban attributes of the home region are also relevant.Results also appear to support the assumption that historic spatial circumstances influence perception and preference. perception and preference. This study highlights the importance of understanding urban open space preferences of immigrants by conducting comparative studies andl discussing results for the benefit of further multi-cultural spatial studies.
