摘要

当代地球的多重危机可以归结为人类与自然关系的失败。因此,重新将人与自然联系起来,是可持续发展转型和实现人类与自然长期福祉的关键杠杆。虽然自然连通性(NC)已经使用各种测量和尺度进行了定量研究,但需要用定性研究来补充这项工作,以拓宽和加深对这一现象的理解。本文对芬兰29名失业青年(20-29岁)的NC进行了定性调查。数据是在小组访谈中收集的,值得注意的是,受访者居住在城市,因为城市居民通常被认为与自然脱节。在最近研究发现的三种NC类型学的基础上,利用NC类型学构建的NC类型学分析了参与者关于自然的话语。NC与关系的、多维的、基于需求的幸福概念化的联系也被讨论,以及NC是否应该被视为一个单独的需求类别。分析中使用的NC类型学的所有六个维度(物质、认知、经验、感官/情感、哲学/精神、同情、关心和承诺)都可以在受访者的描述中检测到。文章最后讨论了NC的这些表现形式对促进可持续性的影响。

Voicing relationality: the nature connectedness of young Finnish adults in the promotion of sustainability
Abstract The contemporary planetary multi-crisis can arguably be attributed to the failure of humans’ relationship with nature. Reconnecting humans with nature is therefore a crucial lever for the sustainability transformation and to achieve the long-term well-being of both humans and nature. While nature connectedness (NC) has been studied quantitatively using various measures and scales, there is a need to complement this work with qualitative research that broadens and deepens the understanding of this phenomenon. This article is a qualitative inquiry into NC among 29 unemployed young adults (aged 20–29) in Finland. The data were collected in group interviews and it is noteworthy that the respondents lived in cities, since urbanites are often represented as disconnected from nature. The participants’ discourse on nature is analyzed with the help of a typology of NC constructed on the basis on three NC typologies found in recent research. NC’s linkage to a relational, multi-dimensional, and need-based conceptualization of well-being is also discussed, as is whether NC should be conceived of as a separate need category. All six dimensions of the typology of NC used in the analysis (material, cognitive, experiential, sensual/emotional, philosophical/spiritual, and compassion, care and commitment) could be detected in the respondents’ accounts. The article closes with a discussion of the implications of such manifestations of NC for promoting sustainability.

期刊介绍: Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy is a refereed, open-access journal which recognizes that climate change and other socio-environmental challenges require significant transformation of existing systems of consumption and production. Complex and diverse arrays of societal factors and institutions will in coming decades need to reconfigure agro-food systems, implement renewable energy sources, and reinvent housing, modes of mobility, and lifestyles for the current century and beyond. These innovations will need to be formulated in ways that enhance global equity, reduce unequal access to resources, and enable all people on the planet to lead flourishing lives within biophysical constraints. The journal seeks to advance scientific and political perspectives and to cultivate transdisciplinary discussions involving researchers, policy makers, civic entrepreneurs, and others. The ultimate objective is to encourage the design and deployment of both local experiments and system innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future by empowering individuals and organizations and facilitating processes of social learning.
