A Pilot Study to Assess the Accessibility of Southwest Iceland’s Hiking Trails
公开International tourists come to Iceland to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, however it is not known if trail markings and signage are created for ease of accessibility. We assessed trails around Reykjavík to learn if they were accessible to international visitors. We documented the state of the trails and contacted hikers and stewards to hear opinions on trail accessibility. We determined the strengths and weaknesses of the trails. Our recommendations include adopting a standard for trail markings, for sign production, and for how trails are maintained in order to accommodate a variety of visitors. We also recommend that a project be implemented to analyze the adoption of these standards and for the creation of a conference where Iceland’s hiking organizations can address these issues.
