Abstract [en]

This study aims to explore the interconnection of the environment with human society in Stockholm’s Royal National Urban Park (NUP) and to illustrate the critical role it plays in the socio-ecological resilience of Stockholm. The study departs from the notion that human settlements and natural landscapes have been traditionally understood as opposing poles of an ontological dichotomy and that this view needs to be redefined in light of the increased human impact on the planet. The NUP is considered as a possible example of ecological resilience in addition to its strong cultural and historical identity.The study will begin by identifying and emphasizing the less visible entities and processes that play a crucial role in sustaining both ecological and social life, particularly focusing on human agency. The study will then propose strategies and interventions to strengthen the ecological aspects of the NUP while improving public knowledge and engagement with the environment. These strategies will consider both physical space and virtual information, given the increasing use of the internet and the digital world.In conclusion, this study will highlight the importance of rethinking our relationship with the environment and the need to move beyond the idea of humans as separate or above the ecology. The NUP provides a case study of how society’s awareness of ecological values can lead to legislative actions and policies that protect and strengthen the environment. By examining the interconnection of the environment with human society in the NUP, this study aims to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for Stockholm and beyond.
