Abstract

Depopulation and shrinkage are a common socio-spatial phenomenon in many Northern localities and are frequently accompanied by a stigmatization of the affected localities and their populations. This editorial introduces the special issue on depopulation and shrinkage in a Northern context that takes its point of departure from the Nordic Geographers Meeting 2022 on multiple geographies and its keynote lecture by Josefina Syssner on the question: What can geographers do for shrinking geographies? The special issue displays a range of contributions from Northern context that discuss and evaluate the heterogenous processes of shrinking localities from multiple perspectives within and beyond geography. Through broad, yet empirically detailed and multiscalar focused assessments it stresses that shrinkage as a phenomenon is a fundamental character of Nordic and other societies, which requires a rethinking and should be acknowledged as a ‘natural’ development trajectory in planning and development.

北方地区的人口减少和萎缩:地理视角、空间过程和政策
人口减少和萎缩是北方许多地方普遍存在的社会空间现象,往往伴随着对受影响地区及其人口的污名化。这篇社论介绍了在北方背景下人口减少和萎缩的特别问题,该问题从2022年北欧地理学家会议的多个地理位置出发,以及Josefina Syssner关于这个问题的主题演讲:地理学家可以为缩小的地理位置做些什么?这期特刊展示了来自北方背景的一系列贡献,从地理内外的多个角度讨论和评估了萎缩地区的异质过程。通过广泛而详细的经验和多尺度的评估,它强调了收缩作为一种现象是北欧和其他社会的基本特征,需要重新思考,并应将其视为规划和发展中的“自然”发展轨迹。
