Vestlandsforsking’s research on leisure revolves around two themes: leisure-time consumption and outdoor activities.
By leisure-time consumption is meant consumption related to leisure-time. The environmental impact of leisure-time consumption can be measured in the form of energy consumption per NOK or time units spent on various activities, or in terms such as the ecological footprint.
Research on leisure-time involves travel habits and preferences when performing outdoor activities. We also thematise the sustainability dimension of recreational use of wilderness areas.
