“…Commercial and indoor settings were evaluated most positively in both countries. Indoor consumption settings such as shopping malls can offer unanticipated positive experiences for youth, including the opportunity to freely 'hang out', be independent, and 'actively do nothing', in settings considered safe by parents (Pyyry 2016).…”

Increasingly, children are residing in urban environments, yet little is known about the urban affordances for children. A place-based approach was employed to map the urban experiences of over 1300 children residing in Helsinki (Finland) and in Tokyo (Japan) in terms of meaningful places (affordances), travel mode and accompaniment to these places. Shared affordances were considered behavior settings, and audited on-site by trained experts for their main function, land use, openness, and communality. Significant differences were found between countries for all affordance categories. Although differences in behavior settings were observed between countries, a number of patterns emerged: outdoor settings and those with shared communality were the most prevalent behavior settings, traffic settings were predominantly evaluated negatively and commercial and indoor settings most positively. Findings suggest that although the context is important, independent mobility and the possibility to actualize environmental affordances seem to be fundamental in both contexts as the key criteria for environmental child-friendliness.

“…Tight spaces, such as shopping malls, cater to a specific audience and function, even though they may seem to welcome everyone. These spaces can become less tight via creative acts (Pyyry, 2016b). Thrift () remarks that phenomenological encounter is mass‐produced within the security–entertainment complex we currently live in: we are hooked by designed “authentic experiences,” such as customised holidays or extreme sports.…”

“…As Mark Paterson (, p. 777) notes, our walking bodies are simultaneously perceivers and producers of space through dwelling with it, the body is “a sensorium in action.” By “dwelling with,” I refer to affectual bodily engagements with the rest of the world through both active involvement and habitual immersion (on dwelling, see Pyyry, 2016b; Ingold, ; Joronen, ; Rose, ). Here affect points to felt but non‐conscious and non‐intentional changes within and between different bodies (human and non‐human; Anderson, , p. 85).…”

From psychogeography to hanging‐out‐knowing: Situationist dérive in nonrepresentational urban research

Members of the Situationist International drifted in urban space on their dérives in the 1950s and 60s to grasp the city's “psychogeography.” In this paper, I revisit the Situationist practice of drifting as part of doing nonrepresentational urban research on spatial justice in the city. In contrast to aiming for any fixed representations of a city's contours, I treat the dérive as a process of “becoming with”: a continuous invention of the city (and the self) through ephemeral encounters. This understanding implies an emergent human subject, one that is changeable and creates breaks in knowledge via dwelling with other subjects (human, technological, architectural, etc.). Here, thinking is approached as a joint participation of the knowing human subject and the city, it is always spatial‐embodied. I have named this style of non‐linear reflection “hanging‐out‐knowing.” Photography is connected to the dérive to direct attention to passing moments and banal details in the urban landscape: to tease out situations, or encounters, that may provoke the generative moment of enchantment. This experience can usually be detected only when it is already gone, but it forces a new perspective to the world. In doing research, this view does not open from practice alone, rather it is often inspired by theory. To illustrate the onto‐epistemological argument, I discuss a sound‐inspired photo‐walk in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a vibrant small city in the province of Barcelona.

“…Specifically, for young people or teens in connection with their shopping behaviour and habits in shopping malls, according to some authors, lesser attention has been paid both to Western societies (Massicotte, 2011) and post-socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe (Spilková and Radová, 2011). Pyyry (2016) discusses the view that in current Western societies, 'hanging around' is considered to be a deviant act because it lacks a clear goal. Such behaviours in shopping centres are more or less tolerated, however, as such young people are viewed as future customers.…”

The shopping behaviours of teenagers in shopping centres in Bratislava (Slovakia) is compared to those of seniors in this paper. The analysis focuses on the perception of shopping centres by teenagers and seniors in the context of time (shopping frequency), social (with whom they shop) and financial (amount of money spent) factors. The survey was conducted on random samples of 504 teenagers and 431 seniors. To test the hypotheses, group means were evaluated (Analysis of Variance models). When assessing the spatial aspects of teenagers’ and seniors’ shopping behaviours, a concentric zone approach was used. It can be concluded that Bratislava teenagers are not as sensitive consumers as seniors in the context of the variables assessed in the survey. Teenagers perceive shopping centres as a normal part of their consumption behaviours. Seniors perceive the shopping centres less positively and they spent a shorter time there. Also, in the case of seniors, the frequency of their visits to shopping centres increased in the context of their positive perceptions.
