ABSTRACT Quests for devolving more power to local actors for nature protection stem from both international and national policies. Also, there is a growing recognition of the need for local governments to promote green infrastructure for citizens to recreate and learn about their environment. Starting in 2004, the Swedish government has allocated special funding towards these goals through the Local Nature Conservation Programme (LONA). Virtually all Swedish municipalities have received such funding in pursuit of facilitating wide access to nature and promoting recreational activities, including the protection of nature areas, creating pathways, information devices, and promoting these areas among new societal groups to enjoy. This study presents the results of ten years of experience with LONA. A survey with respondents from 191 municipalities and 20 county administrations, together with 20 key informant interviews, show that the programme has been a success in several respects. Not only have most municipalities created a wealth of new ways to engage local organisations and citizens in nature conservation and recreation, but they have also broadened the ways they think about how nature is important to their constituencies. Due to innovative ways to count voluntary work as local matching of funding, smaller and less resourceful municipalities have also become engaged. Still, the local needs for further initiatives are deemed considerable. State support coupled with knowledge sharing is important to show policy priority to such bottom-up initiatives.

国家权力下放:瑞典自然保护和娱乐的地方倡议

摘要 将更多权力下放到地方行为者以保护自然的探索源于国际和国家政策。此外,人们越来越认识到地方政府需要促进绿色基础设施,让公民重新创造和了解他们的环境。从 2004 年开始,瑞典政府通过地方自然保护计划 (LONA) 为这些目标分配了特别资金。几乎所有瑞典城市都获得了此类资金,以促进更广泛地接触自然和促进娱乐活动,包括保护自然区域、创建路径、信息设备,以及在新的社会群体中推广这些区域。这项研究展示了 LONA 十年经验的结果。对来自 191 个直辖市和 20 个县政府的受访者进行的调查以及对 20 位关键知情人的采访表明,该计划在多个方面取得了成功。大多数市政当局不仅创造了丰富的新方式来让当地组织和公民参与自然保护和娱乐活动,而且还拓宽了他们思考自然对其选区的重要性的方式。由于将志愿工作计入当地资金匹配的创新方法,规模较小且资源较少的市政当局也开始参与其中。尽管如此,当地对进一步举措的需求被认为是相当大的。国家支持和知识共享对于显示此类自下而上举措的政策优先级很重要。表明该计划在几个方面取得了成功。大多数市政当局不仅创造了丰富的新方式让当地组织和公民参与自然保护和娱乐活动,而且还拓宽了他们思考自然对其选区的重要性的方式。由于将志愿工作计入当地资金匹配的创新方法,规模较小且资源较少的市政当局也开始参与其中。尽管如此,当地对进一步举措的需求被认为是相当大的。国家支持和知识共享对于显示此类自下而上举措的政策优先级很重要。表明该计划在几个方面取得了成功。大多数市政当局不仅创造了丰富的新方式让当地组织和公民参与自然保护和娱乐活动,而且还拓宽了他们思考自然对其选区的重要性的方式。由于将志愿工作计入当地资金匹配的创新方法,规模较小且资源较少的市政当局也开始参与其中。尽管如此,当地对进一步举措的需求被认为是相当大的。国家支持和知识共享对于显示此类自下而上举措的政策优先级很重要。但他们也拓宽了他们思考自然对他们的选民的重要性的方式。由于将志愿工作计入当地资金匹配的创新方法,规模较小且资源较少的市政当局也开始参与其中。尽管如此,当地对进一步举措的需求被认为是相当大的。国家支持和知识共享对于显示此类自下而上举措的政策优先级很重要。但他们也拓宽了他们思考自然对他们的选民的重要性的方式。由于将志愿工作计入当地资金匹配的创新方法,规模较小且资源较少的市政当局也开始参与其中。尽管如此,当地对进一步举措的需求被认为是相当大的。国家支持和知识共享对于显示此类自下而上举措的政策优先级很重要。
