The purpose of the study was to look into the subjects which the students express when they cry out to their Recreation instructor, if there are similarities and differences in the subjects when they turn to their Recreation instructor or when they instead turn to their teacher, which different roles and positions the students place their Recreation instructors and the teachers in. I have used focused observations during three days in two different schools. Using the ideas of J.Butler on performative perspective, I´ve analyzed the way the students have positioned their Recreation instructors and teachers through speech and actions. My conclusion is that students early on see hierarchical structures in school and help maintaining them..

When the storm Gudrun hit Sweden on the 8th and 9th of January, many Recreational forests in southern Sweden blew down. For this reason there is a demand for new regeneration methods as to how these storm-felled areas should be regenerated and with what species. In this study the forest is divided into three areas: production, Recreation/production and Recreation. The first area is a forest with production as main goal and these kinds of forests are located a bit from the city. The second type ? Recreation/production forest ? has two equal goals: production and Recreation, and is located close to the city.
