THE GUARDIAN
From knowledge to action
The guide is structured around four themes that in different ways affect the development of holiday homes and recreational areas. Choose the theme that is relevant to you, or explore several to see how different considerations are interconnected.
Land use
How can we use the areas more consciously and at the same time reduce the pressure on nature?
Explore how knowledge about natural values, vulnerability and already impacted areas can provide a better basis for choices about where and how we build.
Nature-based solutions
How can we play along with nature when developing and managing holiday home areas?
Explore how nature's own processes can help solve challenges and create more resilient areas.
Resource usage
How can we get more out of the buildings and resources that already exist?
Explore how existing holiday homes, buildings, materials and infrastructure can be used better and longer – and how the need for new resources and new interventions can be reduced.
Site development
How can holiday homes and tourism contribute to strengthening the place they are a part of?
Explore how development can be based on local needs, qualities and resources – and contribute to vibrant local communities, local value creation and attractive places.
The guide is based on knowledge developed in collaboration with the project's professional partners and research environments:

Choose a topic to start with.
Each topic takes you from knowledge and examples to concrete advice and tools you can use in your own work. You don't have to follow the guide from start to finish – go straight to what is relevant to you, or explore more topics along the way.
The progress overview makes it easy to see which parts you have already been through.
