“…Youth leaving but returning to rural areas is also essential to consider as potentially positive for rural areas. Access and circulation of different forms of capital (e.g., social and cultural) also influence mobility [48]. In addition, spatial mobility gives access to other resources, such as social, economic, and educational, that facilitates youth to achieve their ambitions [25].…”

The Future Dreams of Ireland’s Youth: Possibilities for Rural Regeneration and Generational Renewal

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The renewal of younger generations in farming and rural areas is a key European policy concern and rural sustainability issue. European literature discusses what drives young people from rural areas while identifying diverse and often interlinked factors as responsible. This study uses a future foresight approach to understand what would facilitate young people to remain in or return to rural areas. Targeting youth aged 18 to 30 and examining their personal dream futures in 2035, this paper presents the ideal lifestyle and livelihoods young people envision for themselves in rural Ireland. However, future approaches to alleviate rural decline, support regeneration, and the wider issue of generational renewal must consider the wider impact on rural sustainability. Generational renewal is just one challenging part of rural decline, including wider social, environmental, economic, and cultural issues. Driven by this wider concern, this paper also explores the implications of the youth’s future dreams for rural regeneration and generational renewal from a broad rural resilience perspective. The results identify a range of issues. However, rural jobs emerge as a key issue, and the paper outlines how policy attention is particularly needed here for improved resilient rural regeneration and generational renewal.

“…In popular representations, the rural is often associated with stillness and stability (Jansson, 2013; Nugin, 2018; Woods, 2011), but in fact, the rural everyday is increasingly intertwined with complex mobility practices (Milbourne & Kitchen, 2014; Nugin, 2020; Pitkänen et al., 2017). Mobilities can be seen as the connective tissue of the rural and urban, which are entangled to immobility just as much as mobility (Cresswell, 2012; Nugin & Kasemets, 2021).…”

“…Also, bike usage is difficult because of the complicated logistical needs while living in the rural area, involving merging the trajectories of work–shop–leisure activities (cf. Milbourne & Kitchen, 2014; Nugin, 2020). Nevertheless, these constructions of rural/urban oppositions appeared often, stressing the role of community and safety in rural regions.…”

Emergent rural–urban relations in Covid‐19 disturbances: Multi‐locality affecting sustainability of rural change

2023

The recent Covid-19 pandemic highlighted rural-urban interactions, in particular the fact that cities are dependent on the accessibility of non-metropolitan and rural spaces and vice versa. This article seeks to understand how these interactions contributed to emergent relational spaces of rurality during the Covid-19 crisis. The article analyses politicised mobilities between localities and rural-urban linkages that are tied to the sustainability of rural change. The study focuses on two countries: Estonia and Finland, exploring thematic narratives on second-home practices and related politics during the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis. The explored regions were the South Savo region in Finland and the island of Saaremaa and northern coastal villages in Estonia. The analysis indicates ways in which the mobility restrictions and disturbances triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic attributed certain demands and hopes to rural areas and led the shift in rural-urban interactions. The article contributes to the understanding of coexistences between im/mobilities and multi-local living and sustainability in rural change.

“…Under the guidance of "space of flows" theory, a research trend of "flow turning" raised in rural geography [11]. That is, the theoretical and empirical researches on rural network of factor flows are increasing, and the research objects include information technology change and rural transformation [12][13][14], mobility practice and significance [15,16], mobility inequality [17,18], and the impact of mobility on rural localities and society [9,[19][20][21]. Thereinto, analyzing the operation and structure of factor flows network is the research focus of rural geography.…”

The networks of factor flows in rural areas are the main support for rural revitalization, which has become one of the research trends in rural geography. Taking a typical industrial town in China as an example, the study explored the operating characteristics of rural factor flow networks and the relations of multi-factor flows based on the social survey method and fine-grained flows data. Results showed that population flows, capital flows and policy flows increased significantly in rural areas. Thereinto, population flows, especially labor flows, mainly ran into the townships and industrial cluster villages, so did capital inflows and outflows, while policy flows ran around the township. The villages with dense population and capital flows formed the "central villages", which had exceeded the township in the two flow networks. Policy flows and capital flows played a guiding role in population flows, so did the policy flows on the capital flows. Meanwhile, the population flows and the capital flows could reinforce each other. In conclusion, a multi-center structure network with the separation of economic center and administrative center had been formed in rural areas. And there was a close interaction between these factor flows. Furthermore, the theoretical model of town-village symbiotic network was constructed.
