Abstract
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.
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.
