This is a collection video recordings of people's everyday activities in nature. These cover activities such as foraging, hiking, orienteering, and search-dog training. The research materials also include notes of ethnographic observation done in online environments, interviews with research participants and publicity materials relating to activities in nature. Conversation analysis has been used as the main method of analysis. The data have been collected by following the ethical guidelines and criteria of the Finnish National Board for Research Integrity (2019), including gaining participants’ informed consent for being recorded for research purposes. Due to the personal data contained in the video materials, the materials cannot be stored or made public via data repositories. Currently the corpus includes 52 different sets of recordings, and about 100 hours of video recordings in total (March 2023). In many cases the same event has been recorded with multiple cameras and audio recorders. The materials have been collected mainly during the Academy of Finland financed research project HANS – Human Activity in Natural Settings (2015-2019).
