Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study employed ethnographical methodology to delineate issues related to cycling communities in a non-western context through the theoretical lens of neo-tribe. In-depth interviews and participatory observations were conducted in two cycling communities in Turkey, an emerging pro-cycling country. As a result of thematic analysis, the characteristics of the studied communities are explained under the following themes: states of emotional being, symbols and rituals, ethic codes, identities, and lifestyle. The findings revealed that the studied communities have tribal characteristics similar to the Western cycling cases, such as friendship, belonging, and collective enthusiasm. Meanwhile, differences of the communities from the Western cases were identified, such as more intense emotionality and stronger need for physical security and safe space. Implications for businesses and professionals that promote cycling for leisure, recreation and tourism purposes in Turkey were drawn based on the findings.KEYWORDS: Leisure communitiescycling communitiesneo-tribesethnographyrecreational cycling Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
理解骑车的新部落:一个非西方的背景
摘要本研究运用民族志方法,透过新部落的理论视角,探讨非西方背景下的骑行社群问题。深入访谈和参与性观察在土耳其两个自行车社区进行,土耳其是一个新兴的自行车运动国家。主题分析的结果是,在以下主题下解释了所研究社区的特征:情感状态、符号和仪式、伦理规范、身份和生活方式。研究结果显示,所研究的社区具有与西方自行车案例相似的部落特征,如友谊、归属感和集体热情。与此同时,我们也发现了与西方案例的不同之处,如更强烈的情感,对人身安全和安全空间的需求更强。根据调查结果,对促进土耳其以休闲、娱乐和旅游为目的骑自行车的企业和专业人士的影响进行了总结。关键词:休闲社区骑行社区新部落人种学休闲骑行披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。
