ABSTRACT

The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) promotes outdoor activities all over Norway. It marks trails and operates 550 cabins, maintained by extensive voluntary efforts, throughout the country. Based on a case study of one area in Norway in which DNT operates, we discuss the prerequisites for the DNT system to be sustained and the challenges it faces with new tourism patterns. Two main conditions are paramount for the DNT system to develop. First, a large overlap between the core values of DNT and its guests is required. Second, the transfer of norms and conduct inherent in the system is conditioned by social encounters in real time and places, bodily experiences, and facilitated by face-to-face communication between fellow trekkers. Guests who are unfamiliar with the DNT system’s core values and code of conduct may threaten the system; increased attention to promoting the core values in informational material and mentors who guide newcomers may counteract these threats.

摘要

挪威徒步协会 (DNT) 在挪威各地推广户外活动。它标志着小径，并在全国范围内经营着 550 间小屋，由广泛的自愿努力维护。基于对 DNT 运营的挪威一个地区的案例研究，我们讨论了维持 DNT 系统的先决条件以及它在新旅游模式下面临的挑战。两个主要条件对于 DNT 系统的发展至关重要。首先，DNT 的核心价值观与其客人之间需要有很大的重叠。其次，系统中固有的规范和行为的转移以实时和地点的社会接触、身体体验为条件，并由徒步旅行者之间的面对面交流促进。不熟悉DNT系统核心价值观和行为准则的客人可能威胁到系统；
