Public access to private land—Allemansrätt in Sweden
AbstractAccess to private land by the public for non-destructive recreation exists in Sweden through Allemansrätt (Everyman's Right or The Right of Common Access). It grew out of customary practices dating back to the Middle Ages. This is an unwritten law whose limits are set by other written laws.The population demographics of Sweden today are much different than when Allemansrätt was first recognized, but because of a land ethic and available land-use management techniques the concept is still workable. The trend for the future is uncertain, but the hope is that Allemansrätt in its present form will remain viable.Allemansrätt is an example of land “ownership” of a different kind. The respect and sensitivity for the land which allows Allemansrätt to work in Sweden is not evidenced to the same degree in many other countries including the United States. Though the techniques available for use to provide recreation opportunities are not dissimilar, basic land ethics do vary between Sweden and other countries and with these differences come dissimilar results. Allemansrätt may be an uncommon contemporary example of a desirable philosophical attitude.
