In this article, we examine the role of care in enabling and sustaining people’s engagement with cycling-as-transport for net zero transitions. In doing so, we argue that care might be considered a kind of affective and practical infrastructure which supports cycling and consequently can support ambitions for transition to net zero. While physical and material cycling infrastructures such as cycle lanes and pathways contribute many elements that make cycling possible, we suggest greater attention to the value of care, and how it is performed and articulated through cycling, is needed. Recognising care – for the self, others and the environment – as underpinning and sustaining cycling draws our attention to the gaps, breakages and limitations of material infrastructures, and shows how caring is embedded in the improvisatory and creative ways in which people sustain or abandon cycling when infrastructures fail them. To develop our argument, we draw on ‘walking with video’ research encounters undertaken in a University Campus Net Zero Precinct which was already shaped by an institutional commitment to net zero transition.

在本文中，我们研究了护理在促进和维持人们参与自行车作为交通工具以实现净零转型方面的作用。在这样做的过程中，我们认为护理可以被认为是一种有效的和实用的基础设施，它支持骑自行车，因此可以支持向净零过渡的雄心。虽然自行车道和步道等物理和物质的自行车基础设施为自行车骑行提供了许多因素，但我们建议更多地关注护理的价值，以及如何通过骑行来实现和表达护理的价值。认识到对自我、他人和环境的关爱是支撑和维持循环的基础，这让我们注意到物质基础设施的差距、破损和限制，并表明关爱是如何嵌入在即兴和创造性的方式中，人们在基础设施失效时维持或放弃循环。为了发展我们的论点，我们借鉴了在大学校园零净区进行的“与视频同行”研究，该区域已经被机构承诺向零净过渡所塑造。

Russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine in 2022 entailed mass departures of people fleeing the war-torn country. The arrival of forced migrants to Poland was met by an unprecedented grassroots mobilisation of the society in their support. However, not everyone received the same welcome. The experiences of Ukrainian Roma arriving in Poland as forced migrants often point to discrimination and antigypsyism from the majority population and Ukrainians alike. This is where the Polish Roma, who experienced decades of discrimination and international resettlement, stepped in, claiming rights on behalf of Ukrainian Roma. The article analyses the mobilisation of Polish Roma in support of Ukrainian Roma arriving to Poland through the lenses of citizenship and enactments of citizenship, understood here as both claims to have rights and right to have claims. This social mobilisation is the continuation of the decades-long Roma struggles for equality, recognition and citizens’ rights. Seen through these lenses, the authors analyse the enactments of citizenship through claims to have rights and the right to have claims in various acts of safeguarding the rights of Ukrainian Roma refugees by the Polish Roma.

俄罗斯在2022年对乌克兰的全面军事侵略导致大量民众逃离这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家。被迫移民来到波兰，得到了前所未有的社会基层动员的支持。然而，并不是每个人都受到同样的欢迎。作为被迫移民抵达波兰的乌克兰罗姆人的经历往往表明，他们受到多数人口和乌克兰人的歧视和反吉普赛主义。在这里，经历了数十年歧视和国际重新安置的波兰罗姆人挺身而出，代表乌克兰罗姆人要求权利。这篇文章分析了波兰罗姆人动员起来支持抵达波兰的乌克兰罗姆人，透过公民权和公民权的镜头，在这里被理解为拥有权利的主张和拥有权利的权利。这场社会动员是几十年来罗姆人争取平等、承认和公民权利斗争的延续。从这些角度来看，作者分析了波兰罗姆人在维护乌克兰罗姆难民权利的各种行为中通过权利要求和权利要求而制定的公民权。

Currently, the situation of Ukrainians in Germany and generally the EU is determined by a transitory environment of a Russia’s war against Ukraine with an uncertain outcome, a temporary migration status with an uncertain prospect and an integration process of uncertain results all on the backdrop of often transnational individual strategies. Uncertainty is at the core of all these parameters. This paper investigates how Ukrainian forced migrants in Germany deal with the stress of uncertainty and specifically the complex process of migration decision-making. Drawing on findings from a qualitative study of Ukrainian forced migrants in Germany I focus on the uncertainties they experience in political, economic, social and linguistic domains. The paper identifies multiple drivers at play such as the duration of the war, prospects of post-war reconstruction, the well-being of family members, the integration process, the future perspectives of the children. Furthermore, I explore whether transnational strategies can be understood as a response to these uncertainties. The choice is not necessarily a simple one between returning or staying, but a combination of both worlds - the Ukrainian and the new world in Germany - which means establishing a transnational pattern of mobility and living under conditions of uncertainty.

目前，乌克兰人在德国乃至整个欧盟的处境是由俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争这一结果不确定的临时环境、前景不确定的临时移民身份以及结果不确定的一体化过程所决定的，这些都是在跨国个体战略的背景下进行的。不确定性是所有这些参数的核心。本文研究了在德国的乌克兰被迫移民如何应对不确定性的压力，特别是移民决策的复杂过程。根据对德国乌克兰被迫移民的定性研究结果，我重点关注他们在政治、经济、社会和语言领域所经历的不确定性。这篇论文指出了多种因素在起作用，如战争的持续时间、战后重建的前景、家庭成员的福祉、融合过程、儿童的未来前景。此外，我还探讨了跨国战略是否可以理解为对这些不确定性的回应。选择不一定是返回或留下的简单选择，而是两个世界的结合- -乌克兰和德国的新世界- -这意味着建立一种跨国流动模式和在不确定的条件下生活。

In previous years, substantial research has focused on walkability, primarily examining how the built environment affects walking behavior. However, these studies have predominantly defined walkability through physical and social factors, with limited exploration of its spatial dimension. This article seeks to address this gap by examining the spatiality of walkability through Lefebvre’s spatial triad. The study begins with a literature review that introduces the concept of walkability from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Subsequently, the theoretical and practical dimensions of walkability are analyzed by conceptualizing space as a socially produced entity. This approach shifts the focus from identifying what makes a space walkable to understanding the processes involved in its production. By proposing a new interpretation of walkability, the study broadens the concept beyond physical and social dimensions to include perceived, conceived, and lived spaces. We suggest that incorporating the spatial dimension enhances both the theoretical framework and practical implementation of walkability, particularly within the field of transportation planning. Additionally, the article synthesizes and analyzes existing literature and planning practices to provide a deeper understanding of how walkable spaces are produced. It emphasizes the significance of the spatial dimension in walkability and suggests avenues for future research.

在过去的几年里，大量的研究集中在可步行性上，主要是研究建筑环境如何影响步行行为。然而，这些研究主要通过物理和社会因素来定义步行性，对其空间维度的探索有限。本文试图通过列斐伏尔的空间三位一体来研究可步行性的空间性，以解决这一差距。本研究首先通过文献综述，从理论和实证两方面介绍了可步行性的概念。随后，通过将空间概念化为社会生产的实体，分析了可步行性的理论和实践维度。这种方法将重点从确定是什么使太空适合行走转移到理解其生产过程中涉及的过程。通过对步行性提出新的解释，该研究将步行性的概念从物理和社会维度扩展到感知、构思和生活空间。我们建议将空间维度纳入可步行性的理论框架和实践实施，特别是在交通规划领域。此外，本文综合和分析了现有文献和规划实践，以提供对如何产生可步行空间的更深层次的理解。强调了空间维度在步行性中的重要性，并提出了未来研究的方向。

The paper explores how the legal inclusion of Ukrainian citizens in the German labor market under the Temporary Protection Directive intertwines with their position of being marked by colonial differences. By introducing the concept of European Far East, we strive to grasp analytically the specific position of Ukraine within global racial capitalism. Drawing on the original empirical data and ongoing public debates, we unpack this particular position to demonstrate how, despite the special protection status granted by the EU, refugees from Ukraine become subject to the ‘migration industry’ and are often confined to the niche of low-skilled, low-paid labor. This perspective also allows us to see how the critical discourse of ‘VIP refugees’ is, a matter of fact, aimed not at dismantling the racializing structures of the migration industry and enabling a more universally shared European future, but at precarious war refugees from Ukraine, thus strengthening the racializing structures. Finally, this analytics reveals how, in the context of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Far Eastern Europeans’ lives appear ‘cheap’ enough to be sacrificed for the sake of peace in the Western world.

本文探讨了在临时保护指令下，乌克兰公民在德国劳动力市场的法律包容如何与他们被殖民差异标记的立场交织在一起。通过引入欧洲远东的概念，我们力求分析地把握乌克兰在全球种族资本主义中的具体地位。根据原始的经验数据和正在进行的公开辩论，我们揭示了这一特殊的立场，以证明尽管欧盟授予了特殊的保护地位，乌克兰难民如何成为“移民产业”的对象，并且经常被限制在低技能、低薪的劳动力领域。这一视角也让我们看到，事实上，“VIP难民”的批评话语并非旨在拆除移民行业的种族化结构，从而实现一个更普遍共享的欧洲未来，而是针对来自乌克兰的不稳定战争难民，从而加强了种族化结构。最后，这篇分析揭示了在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的背景下，远东人的生命是如何“廉价”到足以为了西方世界的和平而牺牲。

This research challenges the dichotomy between voluntary and involuntary migration, highlighting the role of pre-departure experiences in everyday life and labour market outcomes in the host country. Focusing on a qualitative study among Ukrainians who immigrated to Israel between 2014 and 2020 and comparing experiences of those who moved from war-torn zones and government-controlled areas, the paper emphasizes the impact of displacement on vulnerabilities. It argues that granting citizenship does not shield repatriates from war-torn territories from precarious employment in Israel. Compared with other repatriates, they face significant challenges due to language barriers, lack of pre-arrival capital, and mental health issues stemming from war and displacement. Immigrants from war-torn zones are initially more disadvantaged than others and, without special support, the effects of their initial disadvantage become cumulative. It calls for more inclusive integration policies that address trauma and provide tailored support, including mental health interventions and professional training. Recognizing the unique needs of these repatriates is crucial for their long-term well-being and successful integration.

这项研究挑战了自愿和非自愿移民之间的二分法，强调了出发前的经历在东道国日常生活和劳动力市场结果中的作用。本文着重对2014年至2020年间移民到以色列的乌克兰人进行了定性研究，并比较了从战乱地区和政府控制区移民的经历，强调了流离失所对脆弱性的影响。它认为，授予公民身份并不能保护那些从饱受战争蹂躏的地区被遣返的人免受在以色列从事不稳定工作的困扰。与其他被遣返者相比，由于语言障碍、缺乏抵达前资本以及战争和流离失所造成的心理健康问题，他们面临着重大挑战。来自战乱地区的移民最初比其他人处境更不利，如果没有特别的支持，他们最初的不利影响就会累积起来。它呼吁制定更具包容性的融合政策，解决创伤问题并提供量身定制的支持，包括精神卫生干预措施和专业培训。认识到这些遣返者的独特需要对他们的长期福利和成功融入社会至关重要。

The article investigates the role of trains and railway infrastructure in Ukraine as a critical component of the emergency mobility of Ukraine’s population following the Russian full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022. Applying the concept of viapolitics, it explores how the railways became more than just a means of transport during the war, instead symbolising solidarity, struggle, privilege, and hope. The research situates Ukrainian railway mobilities within post-colonial and post-socialist contexts, examining how the infrastructures, rooted in Soviet-era practices, have been repurposed amid military aggression. Drawing on data from news reports, human rights organisations, and personal testimonies, the paper analyses the complex and multifaceted role of rail transport in the war context. The article reveals how emergency mobility, mediated through railways and political action, brings together spatial and temporal dimensions – linking Ukraine’s Soviet past, post-socialist independence, renewed Russian imperialism, and aspirations for a European future. These historical and geopolitical layers intertwine with the population’s self-organisation and resilience, while also colliding within the railway’s diverse vehicular and infrastructural meanings of mobility.

本文调查了乌克兰的火车和铁路基础设施在俄罗斯于2022年2月24日全面入侵后作为乌克兰人口紧急流动的关键组成部分的作用。书中运用了viapolitics的概念，探讨了铁路在战争期间如何不仅仅是一种交通工具，而是团结、斗争、特权和希望的象征。该研究将乌克兰的铁路运输置于后殖民和后社会主义背景下，研究根植于苏联时代实践的基础设施如何在军事侵略中重新定位。根据来自新闻报道、人权组织和个人证词的数据，本文分析了铁路运输在战争背景下的复杂和多方面的作用。本文揭示了通过铁路和政治行动调解的紧急流动性如何将空间和时间维度结合在一起——将乌克兰的苏联历史、后社会主义独立、俄罗斯帝国主义复兴以及对欧洲未来的渴望联系在一起。这些历史和地缘政治层面与人口的自我组织和弹性交织在一起，同时也与铁路的各种交通工具和基础设施的流动性意义相冲突。

Food warriors: app-based delivery on electric micromobilities 食品战士：基于app的电动微交通工具配送

Electric micromobilities (EMMs), including electric bikes, standup kick-style electric scooters, and electric unicycles are highly efficient and low impact modes for urban food delivery. However, the mobility they and their associated algorithmic platforms afford is implicated in a set of work practices and relations that reinforce precarious employment outcomes. Our interviews, observational and autoethnographic research in Vancouver, Canada, revealed that food delivery platforms promise flexibility and high earnings while motivating workers to toil for variable and low wages and engage in high-risk behaviour. We focused on food delivery workers using EMMs because barriers to accessing an EMM are lower than for a car, while affording greater mobility on congested city streets, incurring no parking fees, and delivering zero emission operation. However, ostensibly low financial barriers to entry mask the requirement for considerable knowledge of, and navigational skills within, the physical and virtual environments that workers must master to resist the control exercised by platforms (apps) in an intensely competitive playing field. App-based food delivery using EMMs implicates workers in a game that requires upfront investment, skill and the navigation of risk. It is a stacked game, in which mostly the house wins.

包括电动自行车、站立式电动滑板车和电动独轮车在内的电动微型交通工具（emm）是城市外卖的高效、低影响模式。然而，他们及其相关算法平台提供的流动性涉及一系列工作实践和关系，这些实践和关系加剧了不稳定的就业结果。我们在加拿大温哥华进行的采访、观察和自身人种学研究表明，外卖平台承诺灵活性和高收入，同时激励工人为可变和低工资而辛苦工作，并从事高风险行为。我们把重点放在了使用EMM的送餐工人上，因为使用EMM的门槛比使用汽车低，同时在拥挤的城市街道上提供更大的机动性，不收取停车费，并提供零排放运营。然而，表面上较低的进入门槛掩盖了对物理和虚拟环境的大量知识和导航技能的要求，工人必须掌握这些知识和技能，才能在竞争激烈的竞争环境中抵抗平台（应用程序）的控制。使用emm的基于应用程序的送餐服务意味着游戏中的工人需要预先投资、技能和风险导航。这是一种叠牌游戏，通常是庄家赢。

We focused on food delivery workers using EMMs because barriers to accessing an EMM are lower than for a car, while affording greater mobility on congested city streets, incurring no parking fees, and delivering zero emission operation. However, ostensibly low financial barriers to entry mask the requirement for considerable knowledge of, and navigational skills within, the physical and virtual environments that workers must master to resist the control exercised by platforms (apps) in an intensely competitive playing field. App-based food delivery using EMMs implicates workers in a game that requires upfront investment, skill and the navigation of risk. It is a stacked game, in which mostly the house wins.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 1","pages":"Pages 171-197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146098658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is focused on the forced mechanisms of military enlistment for participation in Russia’s war in Ukraine. It argues that the structures of spatial mobility determine the greater vulnerability of rural dwellers and other lower strata of the population to coercive military enlistment by the state. It also argues that multi-dimensional barriers to spatial mobility contribute to the intersectional vulnerability when, for example, being an ethnic minority also often overlaps with being a rural resident, which in turn results in fewer opportunities to avoid military conscription. The author’s attention to broader social forces shows that the decision to sign a military contract during wartime is often a forced measure. Combining digital ethnography, expert interviews, regression analysis and autoethnography she explains how the intersections of several forms of inequalities contribute to vulnerability to the forced military enlistment.

本文主要研究俄罗斯参与乌克兰战争的强制征兵机制。它认为，空间流动性的结构决定了农村居民和其他较低阶层的人口更容易受到国家强制征兵的影响。它还认为，空间流动性的多维障碍导致了交叉脆弱性，例如，作为少数民族也经常与作为农村居民重叠，这反过来又导致逃避兵役的机会减少。作者对更广泛的社会力量的关注表明，在战时签订军事合同的决定往往是一种强制措施。结合数字民族志、专家访谈、回归分析和自我民族志，她解释了几种形式的不平等的交集是如何导致被迫入伍的脆弱性的。

This paper explores how the mobile lifestyle of digital nomads informs national identity and collective belonging through technological means, focusing on the Israeli digital nomad community. This study reveals that despite embracing a hypermobile and individualistic lifestyle, Israeli digital nomads use technology to construct a new form of national identity, which I describe as ‘tailor-made nationalism’. Through interviews with 21 digital nomads, this research demonstrates how technology mediates a process of national affiliation that allows individuals to customise their national identity without the traditional territorial and civic obligations. The concept of tailor-made nationalism contributes to mobilities studies by illustrating how hypermobility and digital technologies inform national belonging. It also extends debates on technology’s impact on nationalism, suggesting that digital platforms enable more flexible and personalised forms of national affiliation. By examining the Israeli case, this paper shows that digital nomadism does not necessarily deny nationalism and is not in itself a post-national, cosmopolitan phenomenon. It offers insights into how mobile lifestyles facilitate the negotiation of national identity through technology, shedding light on the interaction between mobility, technology, and national belonging.

本文以以色列数字游牧民社区为研究对象，探讨数字游牧民的流动生活方式如何通过技术手段影响国家认同和集体归属感。这项研究表明，尽管以色列的数字游牧民族拥有超流动和个人主义的生活方式，但他们利用技术构建了一种新的民族认同形式，我将其描述为“量身定制的民族主义”。通过对21位数字游牧民的访谈，本研究展示了技术如何调解民族归属过程，使个人能够在没有传统领土和公民义务的情况下定制自己的民族身份。量身定制的民族主义概念通过说明超流动性和数字技术如何为民族归属感提供信息，有助于流动性研究。它还延伸了关于技术对民族主义影响的辩论，表明数字平台能够实现更灵活、更个性化的民族归属形式。通过考察以色列的案例，本文表明数字游牧主义并不一定否认民族主义，其本身也不是一种后民族主义的世界主义现象。它提供了关于移动生活方式如何通过技术促进国家身份协商的见解，揭示了移动性、技术和国家归属感之间的相互作用。
