The Visitor: Connecting Health, Wellbeing and the Natural Environment

The focus of this chapter is to investigate the connection between health, wellbeing and the natural environment from a visitor point of view. Specifically, it puts the following research questions to the forefront: how can the connection between health, wellbeing and the natural environment be studied and what are the resulting knowledge benefits? The chapter will examine this by introducing an innovative method called 'visitor-produced pictures' to study visitor experiences related to health, wellbeing and the natural environment in Kosterhavet National Park, Sweden.
