On-site communication measures as a tool in outdoor recreation management: a systematic map protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Communication is a central tool in managing the balance between outdoor recreation and environmental protection. Several studies have evaluated different communication measures in nature area case studies, but rarely are these measures compared across contexts. We systematically map the literature guided by the question, what is the evidence base of on-site communication in outdoor recreation to change human behavior towards a more sustainable direction? Taking vulnerable natural areas as our starting point, we map distribution and abundance of communication measures, study design and outcome-related themes.

Methods

The target population for our mapping review (hereafter review) are outdoor recreationists and nature-based tourists who visit natural or near-natural
