Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, om unge udviser forskellig miljøbevidsthed i deres daglige mobilitet sammenlignet med rejser i sabbatåret, med særligt fokus på flyrejser. Med et hermeneutisk fortolkende udgangspunkt kombinerer studiet et litteraturreview til at kortlægge forskningshullet med en tre-dages Sprint som kvalitativ metode, gennemført i samarbejde med UCN’s uddannelse i Natur- og Kulturarvsforvaltning i Hjørring med deltagelse af 31 studerende. Analysen behandler unges holdninger, coping-strategier, (aero)mobilitet og såkaldte imaginative mobiliteter. De rapporterede fund omfatter identificeringen af en ny coping-strategi, som bygger videre på tidligere forskning i forholdet mellem holdning og adfærd, samt indikationer på imaginative mobiliteter, der afspejler unges høje mobilitetslivsstil i dag. Specialet perspektiverer desuden til, hvordan fremtidens sabbatårsrejser og mobilitetspraksisser kan udvikle sig. Yderligere detaljer om resultater ud over disse hovedpunkter fremgår ikke af det medtagne uddrag.
This thesis examines whether young people display different environmental awareness in their everyday mobility compared to gap-year travel, with particular attention to flying. Adopting a hermeneutic interpretive stance, the study combines a literature review to identify the research gap with a three-day Sprint as a qualitative method, conducted in collaboration with UCN’s Natural and Cultural Heritage Management program in Hjørring with 31 student participants. The analysis addresses youth attitudes, coping strategies, (aero)mobility and so-called imaginative mobilities. Reported findings include the identification of a new coping strategy that extends prior attitude–behavior research, and indications of imaginative mobilities that reflect today’s highly mobile youth lifestyles. The thesis also reflects on how future gap-year travel and mobility practices may evolve. More detailed results beyond these headline findings are not provided in the excerpt.
