During the spring of 2015, the multifunctionality of two golf courses in the Stockholm region were studied. The study was done as a student project within the course Urban Social-Ecological Systems at Stockholm Resilience Centre. 30 different activities were identified on and around the two golf courses. Golfers and other visitors in each study area respectively were interviewed and asked questions regarding their attitudes towards multifunctionality, what aspects they appreciated within the area they were visiting et cetera.
