“…It has recently been observed in Geography Compass that the Covid‐19 pandemic has (re)focused attention toward the importance of natural environments to human wellbeing (Dobson, 2021; Lashua et al., 2021; Lee Ludvigsen et al., 2023). Many studies have noted how the quantity and proximity of green and natural spaces, including blue space (hereafter ‘greenspaces’), may be an indicator of health and wellbeing benefits (Gascon et al., 2016; Mitchell & Popham, 2008; Van den Berg et al., 2015).…”

As calls grow for relational approaches to nature and wellbeing research that consider reciprocity in human‐environment interactions, the concept of affordances is gaining importance as a useful way of thinking about nature experiences. Affordances provide a framework to enable individualised conceptions of nature by focusing on what is functionally meaningful to people. However, affordance thinking is currently limited in its ability to help us understand how peoples' background, culture and circumstances shape interactions with nature ‐ a critical issue with respect to inclusivity and the under‐representation of some sections of society. Bourdieu's theory of practice is a well‐established set of ‘thinking tools’ which potentially help addresses these influences. It examines how our social environment may pattern our practices, attitudes, and perceptions. In this paper, we review the various applications of affordances before providing an overview of how Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, capital and field can complement, and be integrated with, affordance thinking for novel applications to greenspace research. Bridging these areas of thinking will facilitate development of a more intersectional and complete understanding of nature experiences, including the quality and inclusivity of green and natural spaces.

Leisure time in young people’s everyday life and its relevance for wellbeing: longitudinal analyses based on a quantitative panel in Vienna

Qualitative studies with young people have shown that wellbeing is something that is felt and sensed in their everyday lives, especially in less formal leisure-time contexts. This article contributes to the current state of research by analyzing the relations between wellbeing and the conditions in young people’s leisure time using a longitudinal, quantitative approach. The analyses are based on a new measurement instrument, which captures conditions in young people’s leisure time in terms of the extent to which they facilitate correspondence and experimentation, and require adaption. The measurement instrument was inserted twice (2020, 2022) in the quantitative panel of ‘Pathways to the Future’, a project about young people in Vienna. The analytical sample consists of 239 panel participants (478 observations), and the main results are based on the specification of a random effects model. The findings reveal that possibilities for correspondence in the panel participants’ leisure time, i.e., being able to be oneself and to relax, increase their wellbeing. In addition, to a lesser extent, possibilities for experimentation, i.e., discovering new traits about oneself and engaging in stimulating activities, are important for wellbeing. Interestingly, leisure time requiring adaption is not significantly related to wellbeing. More detailed analyses considering decreases and increases of adaption separately by estimating asymmetric effects suggest that adaption can be constraining but can also be more positively connotated. Overall, the results contribute to a relational and situational understanding of wellbeing in quantitative research, which places the focus on the conditions in young people’s everyday life.
