The objective of this study was to evaluate the importance of geographic origin and grazing system for Norwegian and Italian consumers" probability of buying lamb meat. The study consisted of a qualitative part with focus groups followed up with a quantitative survey in each country. Included in the survey was a conjoint design with origin of the meat (Norway, Italy and New Zealand) and pasture (lowland pasture and mountain pasture) as factors, plus questions about consumers" motives underlying selection of food. Results from the study shows that country of origin is important for consumers" buying probability of lamb meat, in both countries domestic meat was preferred. In addition, a higher probability of buying meat from lamb grazing on mountain pasture than from lamb grazing on lowland pasture was identified. It is important for producers of lamb meat to increase the communication of these elements in a competitive national and international food market

AR-FJELL is the Norwegian land resource database for the mountain areas. AR-FJELL is not distributed as a separate product from Skog og landskap, but does – together with topographic data (series N50) from the Norwegian Mapping Authority (Statens kartverk) form the basis for the classification of mountain areas in the national land resource maps AR50 and AR250. The five Norwegian AR-FJELL classes are documented through descriptive statistical “profiles” of the actual content of each class. Profiles of the AR-FJELL classes were obtained through a GIS overlay operation between AR-FJELL and the available AR18X18 (Land resource accounting for the Norwegian outfields) survey plots. The distribution of vegetation classes for each AR-FJELL class was compiled from this overlay. The report also consider the distribution of the AR-FJELL classes by elevation asl and the distribution of the vegetation types in the AR18X18 sample. AR18X18 is (2011) only available for parts of Norway. The study should be repeated when a full national coverage is available. This is expected in 2015. The study was carried out with funding from the Norwegian Space Centre.

The centennial volume of this journal provides a fitting time to stop and reflect. Do we know where we are heading? Are we progressing in the right direction? Having studied landscape change for some years, we have seen the tremendous power of engagement that can be found in landscapes. Landscape is a theme that most people easily relate to. At the same time, landscape research has provided many appropriate tools for documenting landscape change and the effects of change. Yet in spite of public engagement and scientific knowledge, we still find many examples of negative landscape developments. In this paper we reflect on the applications of landscape research and the issue of communicating scientific findings to policy, management, landowners and the general public. Do we need a greater focus on communication to achieve sustainable landscape development?

Landskapskarakter er det som særpreger et område og gjør at det skiller seg fra andre områder. Den er avhengig av samspillet mellom mange ulike landskapselementer, både naturlige og menneskeskapte. Ved å måle og registrere så mange som mulige av de ulike elementene landskapet er bygget opp av, skaper vi en datamodell av landskapet. Landskapsmodellen i 5 x 5 km rutenettet for Norge beskriver landskapselementer som har betydning for landskapskarakter. Modellen gir grunnlag for både endringsstudier og andre kvantitative landskapsanalyser.
