Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent times there has been a population turnaround in the island state of Tasmania sparked by an increase in in-migration of mainland urban dwellers. This paper argues that one of the major driving factors of this change is the quest for a new lifestyle in regional/rural life, that incorporates a desire for a temperate climate. As literature in lifestyle migration shows, this quest for a new life does not end once migration is over. Rather, the migration experience continues well after the move. In this paper, it will be shown how weather not only attracts migrants into Tasmania, but then encourages/discourages certain activities allowing the individual to engage in new ways of living. The paper suggests that while we need to be careful about romanticising this, we can potentially view this shift as emblematic of people’s relationship to climate change.
“夏天越来越热”:探索从澳大利亚大陆移民到塔斯马尼亚的动机。
摘要近年来,由于大陆城市居民移民的增加,塔斯马尼亚岛的人口出现了逆转。本文认为,这种变化的主要驱动因素之一是在地区/农村生活中寻求新的生活方式,其中包括对温和气候的渴望。正如生活方式迁移的文献所表明的那样,一旦迁移结束,这种对新生活的追求就不会结束。相反,迁移经历在迁移后仍在继续。在这篇论文中,我们将展示天气如何不仅吸引移民进入塔斯马尼亚,而且鼓励/阻止某些活动,使个人能够从事新的生活方式。这篇论文表明,虽然我们需要小心将其浪漫化,但我们可能会将这种转变视为人们与气候变化关系的象征。
