摘要
传统上,户外娱乐的特点是在偏远、乡村,有时还有遥远和异国情调的环境中进行,这些环境在某种程度上是分开的,与正常的工作和居住场所分开(Pigram和Jenkins,2006年)。在这样的环境中进行娱乐是以一种假定的愿望为前提的,即从城市和日常生活的世俗方面“逃离”到以美丽和宁静为定义的自然环境中(Williams 1995)。这种定性在农村和城市之间建立了双重性,我们认为,当学者们试图理解在一个不断变化的世界中户外娱乐的当代体验时,这种立场是无益的。我们不断变化的世界的一个决定性方面是快速的城市化。Kundu和Pandey(2020)指出,全球城市人口已从1950年的0.75亿激增至2018年的42.2亿。据估计,到21世纪中叶,世界68%的人口将生活在城市环境中。这些数字表明,城市、郊区和城郊环境(城市和农村之间的边缘地带)对户外娱乐的重要性越来越大,这扩大并挑战了户外娱乐只有在农村、偏远和遥远的土地上才有意义的公认规范。此外,更广泛地呼吁增加“本土主义”,即在碳意识(Hollenhorst et al.,2014)和新冠肺炎肆虐的时代,参与离家更近的活动,强调了学者探索城市人如何在自己的后院体验娱乐的必要性。在城市环境中接受户外娱乐有一些明显的好处。将“户外活动带给人们”一直是全球“城市保护”运动背后的关键驱动力(Parris等人,2018)。这种想法的转变认识到了乡村户外娱乐的减少,在那里,参观国家公园和其他受保护的土地和水域的人越来越少,反而在城市边界内的角落和缝隙中提供了有意义的保护体验(McDonald 2012)。有充分的证据表明,在城市里拥有大自然,可以减轻压力和肥胖,并改善城市居民的福祉(White等人,2020;Bell等人,2018;Foley和Kistemann 2015;Pigram和Jenkins,2006年)。此外,传统上被排除在户外娱乐之外的新人群,通常被视为受过高等教育、富裕且主要是高加索人后裔的领域,现在被鼓励按照自己的意愿探索自己的后院。这认识到“后院”是一个最好被视为没有限制的术语,使其能够涵盖近
Special issue on being outdoors part 2: being in the urban outdoors
Traditionally, outdoor recreation has been characterised as taking place in remote, rural and sometimes distant and exotic settings, that are somehow separate, and separated from normal places of work and residence (Pigram and Jenkins 2006). Recreation in such settings has been premised on an assumed desire to ‘escape’ from the urban and the mundane aspects of everyday life to nature-based settings defined by beauty and tranquillity (Williams 1995). This characterization has set up a duality between the rural and urban, a position we believe is unhelpful as scholars try to understand the contemporary experience of outdoor recreation in a changing world. A defining aspect of our changing world is rapid urbanization. Kundu and Pandey (2020) indicate that the global urban population has ballooned from 0.75 billion in 1950–4.22 billion in 2018. By the mid-twenty-first century, it is estimated that 68% of the world’s population will live in urban settings. These figures point to the increasing importance of urban, suburban and peri-urban settings (the fringe in-between the urban and the rural) for recreation in the outdoors – expanding and challenging the accepted norm that outdoor recreation is only meaningful in rural, remote and faraway lands. Furthermore, the wider call for increased ‘locavism’, a call to partake in activities closer to home in a carbon conscious (Hollenhorst et al., 2014) and COVID-19 afflicted era, underscores the need for scholars to explore how urbanites experience recreation in their own backyards. There are some obvious benefits to embracing outdoor recreation in urban settings. Bringing the ‘outdoors to the people’ has been a key driver behind the global ‘conservation in the city’movement (Parris et al. 2018). This shift in thinking recognizes the decline in back-country outdoor recreation, where fewer people are visiting National Parks and other protected lands and waters, and instead proffers meaningful conservation experiences in the nooks and crannies within the city boundary (McDonald 2012). There is ample evidence to suggest that having nature inside cities, reduces stress and obesity, and improves well-being for urban dwellers (White et al. 2020; Bell et al. 2018; Foley and Kistemann 2015; Pigram and Jenkins 2006). Furthermore, new populations that have traditionally been excluded from outdoor recreation, often regarded as the realm of the highly-educated, well-off and of mainly Caucasian descent, are now encouraged to explore their backyard, on their terms.
