2 Background Changes in society and population Urbanization Globalization merging lifestyles? Changes in country-side Declining population new groups of inhabitants New livelihoods New services needed? Supply of recreation services vs open space and natural environment

3 Aim of the study To study outdoor recreation behaviour of people living in urban and in rural areas is there any differences, and what kind of differences? do the differences appear between generations in urban and rural areas? are younger generations living in urban and in rural areas closer to each other than older generations?

4 Theoretical framework Rural Urban dimension of population differences in socio-economic structure cultural and lifestyle differences Generations (Roos 1985, Liikkanen 2005) o before 1939 After war o Great change o Suburban o Wellbeing o Media

12 Access to Recreational Sites Closer for rural people: sites for berry and mushroom picking, fishing, hiking Closer for urban people: cross-country skiing trails

13 Summary RURAL PEOPLE: participate more in activities of harvesting of natural products: fishing, hunting, picking berries URBAN PEOPLE: participate more in activities of pure enjoyment: spending time at cottage, pickniking and spending time near the shore (sunbathing on the beach etc.)

14 Summary Rural & Urban YOUNGER generation: partly the same: rural youth adopting urban activities partly rural youth differ participating more in traditional harvesting activities

15 Conclusions Future outdoor recreation changes with younger generations: Harvesting activities are declining among both rural and urban younger generations Activities related to pure enjoyment are increasing Motorized activities are increasing Differences in participation among urban and rural younger generations relates to available recreational opportunities, and differences still exist
