Abstract

Continuing the discussion of complexity on different levels, this chapter introduces the part of the book that looks at social data science, discussing what social data exist in current programmes, from local to government monitoring, for different land systems. It indicates that, perhaps due to the historical development of monitoring, social data (such as farm management data, reindeer husbandry practices, and socioeconomic practices) have rarely been directly included in environmental monitoring programmes but are sometimes combined with monitoring data in the analysis phase and in research projects. The chapter thereby leads into following chapters discussing the potential for further linkages between ecological monitoring and research on land use from social perspectives.
