“…Those interferences often erupt into conflict between different appropriators, as happened in Funäsdalsfjällen. The local co-management regulation system that resulted is unusual, at least in the Swedish context (Vail and Heldt 2004; see also Dustin and Schneider 2005). The following analysis explores to what degree the Funäsdalen snowmobile regulation area is a real world example of deliberative democracy and how deliberative mechanisms contributed to the resolution of conflicts.…”

Deliberative democracy and co-management of natural resources: The case of Funäsdalen snowmobile regulation area

Abstract:Deliberation is an understudied aspect of co-management institutions and common pool theory that can be improved by a closer connection to deliberative democratic theory. Analyses of co-management arrangements provide needed empirical insights to deliberative democratic theory, although such arrangements are group-based and not readily accepted as examples of deliberative democracy. A framework is developed to analyze to what degree co-management arrangements incorporate deliberative elements and how they contribute to improved decision-making. To test its usefulness, a case study of a co-management process in Sweden is analyzed. In Funäsdalsfjällen, a mountainous area of western Sweden, a conflict-ridden situation caused by expanded use of snowmobiles eventually led to the establishment of a municipal regulation area. Central and regional authorities initially failed to resolve the conflict, but when the municipality started working directly with relevant interest groups, agreement was reached. Deliberative elements are shown to have been central to the success of the co-management process, and it is concluded that co-management and deliberative democratic approaches cross-fertilize one another.

“…The potential interviewees were classed as either tourists or local residents because, as the literature (e.g., Regenberger 1998;Vail and Heldt 2004;Soguel et al 2008) suggested, these two groups were expected to have distinctive preferences for environmental settings. The criterion to distinguish tourists and local residents was their residential place of origin; visitors from outside the Far North Queensland Statistical Division (running from Townsville in the south to Cape Tribulation in the north) being classified as 'tourists' to the southern Atherton Tablelands.…”

The southern Atherton Tablelands comprises diverse green spacesmeadows, croplands, woodlots and rainforest-which are integrated into a largescale tablelands landscape. This paper examines visitors' perceptions of the landscape of the southern Atherton Tablelands as a form of public good and their reaction to a hypothetical alteration to the landscape of the tablelands region by establishing small-scale hoop pine plantations on degraded lands. A survey conducted in 2005 indicated that the hoop pine plantations would not reduce the public enjoyment of the tablelands landscape. From the pairwise comparisons of vegetation types, it was found that the sample of tourists statistically equally preferred the 'grazing land' and the 'hoop pine plantation'. In contrast, the local residents were found to prefer the 'grazing land' to the 'hoop pine plantation', at the 5% significance level. From a double-bounded contingent valuation study, it was found that the tourists were willing to pay A$13.82 per room per visit on average to support the establishment of hoop pine plantations on the southern Atherton Tablelands whereas local residents were willing to pay A$7.86 per year for the next 5 years for the same project.

“…The maximum possible drawbar pull of the oversnow vehicle (within the pull force margins) was determined with the CVT being in first gear range. With that the tested oversnow vehicle was accelerated to reach maximum RPM, and then smoothly slowed down via a cable with a dynamometer stain gauge to a full stop when a tracked running gear was fully slipping [5,6].…”

The article demonstrates the results of the experimental estimate of the drawbar properties of the oversnow equipment during which parameters and indicators allowing for their use during designing of new generation of oversnow vehicles have been determined. This work demonstrates the results of the tests in determining maximum drawbar pull, determining motion resistance force with the arrested and released brake of the Russkaya Mekhanika's oversnow vehicles, models RM Buran Leader, RM Tayga Varyag 550, RM Tayga Patrul 800 SWT, RM Vector 551i and over companies' oversnow vehicles, models BRP Lynx Xtrim Commander 800 E-TEC, Arctic Cat Pantera 7000 XT LTD, Polaris 800 Titan Adventure 155.
