Interpretation in both national and state parks provides more than mere entertainment to the visitor. Interpretation has been proven to be an effective deterrent to littering, vandalism and the deterioration of natural park resources. The focus of this research is to determine whether high quality programs, a large number of programs, and/or a diversity of programs offered by Indiana state parks attract a higher percentage of the total number of visitors entering a park facility to an interpretative event.The subjects need in this research were the state parks of Indiana. Data was obtained from a weekly form (SP-48) used by the Indiana parks. SP-48 forms from 1987 through 1990, Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, were used: the total number of programs incorporated into this study was 20,595. The parks were divided into categories (all parks, year-round parks, and seasonal parks) and groups (high, medium and low number of facilities) to provide a similar statistical grouping for analysis.The factors studied were paired and regression analysis were performed on each pairing. Correlation coefficients indicated that an increase in the quantity of programs offered was highly correlated (p<001) to an increase in the percent of gate entrants participating in an interpretive event. Presentation diversity was significantly related to either of the above variables. / Department of Natural Resources

Este artículo analiza las corrientes opositoras a la memoria colectiva de la sangrienta guerra interna del Perú (1980-2000) a través de un análisis de los actos de vandalismo perpetrados contra uno de los pocos sitios dedicados a la memoria en este país, El ojo que llora, ubicado en Lima. ‘Vandalismo’, en este artículo, es entendido como una forma de escritura (aunque violenta) de una visión distinta del pasado. Originalmente concebido como un espacio para recordar y rendir homenaje a las víctimas del conflicto armado, el sitio se ha convertido en un lugar para la confrontación de formas distintas de asumir el pasado. Como sitio de recuerdo y reivindicación de derechos humanos, y sobre todo como blanco de intentos de desfiguración permanente, El ojo que llora se ha convertido en un escenario en el que la presencia perdurable del pasado —con sus conflictivas tensiones— se hace visible para el público nacional e internacional. Así, se niega el cierre mismo que las narrativas del gobierno quisieran imponer y, por lo tanto, se mantiene el compromiso público con el pasado. Los conflictos en curso sobre el pasado se hacen visibles en este punto en las luchas por establecer una memoria general y, en este proceso, el significado mismo de ‘víctima’ se ve implicado. / This article examines opposing currents in Peru’s collective memory of their bloody internal war (1980-2000) through an analysis of acts of vandalism perpetrated against one of the country’s few sites of memory, El ojo que llora, in Lima. ‘Vandalism’ in this article is understood as a form of writing (though a violent one) of an alternative vision of the past. Originally intended as a space for remembering and paying homage to the victims of the armed conflict, the site has become a space for contesting memories. As a site of performance of memory and human rights claims, and especially as the target of continued defacement, El ojo que llora has become a stage on which the presence of the past —in its still-conflictual strains— is made visible for national and international publics. It thus refuses the very closure that government narratives would impose, and thereby keeps open public engagement with the past. The ongoing conflicts over the past made visible at this site point to the struggles to define an overarching memory, and in the processthe very meaning of ‘victim’ is constrained.

Zlatans staty blir vandaliserad efter ett affärsbeslut, som egentligen inte har något med hans identitet att göra men ändå så skrivs det en hel del om honom som ’’den andre’’. Syftet med denna undersökningen är att ta reda på hur Zlatan representeras efter detta affärsbeslutet i nätpublikationerna jag valde att analysera. Till och med om det finns likheter om vad som skrivs mellan dessa tre olika nätpublikationerna jag valde att avgränsa mig till: Svenska Dagbladet, Sydsvenskan samt Dagens Nyheter. Nio artiklar sammanlagt men tre artiklar per nätpublikation, därför har jag valt att använda mig av kvalitativ metod såsom textanalys. I analysen kommer jag koppla resultatet till teorier som den föreställda gemenskapen, representation samt gestaltningsteorin. Resultatet visar att det finns likheter hur de olika nätpublikationera representerar Zlatan efter affärsbeslutet, det vill säga som ’’den andre’’. / Zlatan's statue is vandalized after a business decision, which really has nothing to do with his identity, but still a lot is written about him as "the other". The purpose of this survey is to find out how Zlatan is represented after this business decision in the online publications I chose to analyze. I also want to find out if there are any similarities between the three online publications I chose: Svenska Dagbladet, Sydsvenskan and Dagens Nyheter. Nine articles in total but three articles per online publication, therefore I have chosen to use a qualitative method such as text analysis. In the analysis, I will link the results to theories such as the imagined community, representation and the design theory. The results show that there are similarities in how the different online publications represent Zlatan after the business decision, is as "the other".

Vandalism is a form of a crime and threatens the safety and unity of a neighborhood. To inspect the issues of vandalism, a case study of Hovsjö in Södertälje is chosen. The area has most immigrants mainly from the Middle Eastern descent. Attempt is made to investigate these issues of vandalism with the help of theory, public documents of the area, history, physical evidence using photographs and conducting interviews of the residents and the authority. The issues of vandalism upon thorough analysis are found to be very subjective and are open to different interpretations. Thus, this thesis is about the authors’ version of interpreting the issue as immigrants from India. One of the key findings from the study is that there is a clear lack of trust between the authorities and the residents of Hovsjö. The reasons for this lack of trust is due to many issues but mostly revolve around the integration of the immigrants into the Swedish society. Thus, few ideas are recommended as an attempt to encourage better integration of immigrants into the Swedish Society and other generic ideas to prevent vandalism and increase the social capital. These ideas include ‘earliest is best’, ‘one size does not fit all’, ‘break the ice’, ‘get the right mix’ etc. among others. / Vandalism är en form av ett brott och hotar en grannskapets säkerhet och enhet. För att inspektera vandalismfrågor väljs en fallstudie av Hovsjö i Södertälje. Området har en majoritet av invandrare främst från Mellanöstern. Man försöker undersöka dessa frågor om vandalism med hjälp av teori, offentliga handlingar i området, tidigare historia, fysiska bevis med fotografier och genomföra intervjuer av invånarna och myndigheten. Frågorna om vandalism efter grundlig analys har visat sig vara mycket subjektiva och är öppna för olika tolkningar. Således handlar denna avhandling om författarnas version av att tolka frågan som invandrare från Indien. Ett av de viktigaste resultaten från studien är att det finns en tydlig brist på förtroende mellan myndigheterna och Hovsjöbor. Orsakerna till denna brist på förtroende beror på många frågor men handlar mest om integrationen av invandrare i det svenska samhället. Således rekommenderas få idéer som ett försök att uppmuntra en bättre integration av invandrare i Swedish Society och andra generiska idéer för att förhindra vandalism och öka det sociala kapitalet. Dessa idéer inkluderar "tidigast är bäst", "en storlek passar inte alla", "bryt isen", "få rätt blandning" etc. bland andra.

Denna uppsats är grundad i en fallstudie av den multidisciplinära konstnären Joiri Minayas arbete och den konstnärliga interventionen ”Ecubrimiento” av Columbusstatyn på Columbustorget i Santo Domingo, som genomfördes i januari 2021. Uppsatsen undersöker frågor om koloniala monument och deras närvaro i samtida postkoloniala stadsmiljöer. Fallstudien fokuserar på Minayas arbete med att förnya koloniala statyers budskap, utan att inverka på eller förstöra dem. Slutligen drivs en diskussion kring neo-kolonialism och hur koloniala monument kan leva vidare i en ny kontext för att skapa en dialog om avkolonialisering. Denna uppsats diskuterar relationen mellan en staty, en stad och en samtida konstnärs vision, men hanterar även frågor om förtryck och vandalism i relation till postkoloniala förhållanden.

Depreciative behavior is a major problem for managers of recreation areas and for visitors of these areas. Providing information has been suggested as a potential solution to this management problem. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of interpretation/information and determine the influence of various communication channels and site, situational, and user group characteristics on the effectiveness of information in reducing depreciative behavior (tree damage, litter, and excessive noise) in North Bend Park - a large, modern U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground. A Posttest-Only Control Group experimental design was used to collect data on weekends during the 1981 summer season. Preliminary data analysis appears to indicate that information was effective in reducing tree damage and litter in a modern campground. The Brochure Alone and Brochure + Personal Contact treatments appear to have been effective in reducing tree damage and litter, but the Brochure + Personal Contact + Involvement treatment appeared ineffective. The three communication channels did not appear to have been very effective, however, in reducing the amount of litter left in the fireplace, the number of tree burns due to lanterns, and the number of incidents of inappropriate noise. There was some evidence also, that type of camping equipment, party type, and previous camping experience at the park were characteristics which influenced the users’ response to the interpretive messages. / Master of Science
