New report on socio-economic determinants, demand and constraints to outdoor recreation participation in Sweden

This paper, written by Ulla Romild, Peter Fredman and Daniel Wolf-Watz, takes a broad approach to examine the participation-demand-constraint nexus in outdoor recreation using data from a Swedish national household survey. Results show that the most common activities among the Swedes are characterized by being easy accessible, ‘ordinary´ and ‘simple´, demanding no partner, no special equipment, no excessive physical strength or skills. These are also the activities most people demand more of.

Both the choice of activity and the recognition of constraints to increase participation are associated with several socio-economic factors, the kind of favoured activity, and the time context within which the activity takes place. Such relationships are further elaborated in this report.
