“…We employed an approach in which landowners identified the micro, meso, and macro (external) factors that influenced their ranching involvement over their lifetime. This approach gives the participants a voice to place events in their own context and is a valid starting point to explore initial linkages and causal factors from an "insider" perspective (Allen and Pickett 1987, Miles and Huberman 1994, Cohler and Hostetler 2003, Elliot 2005. It can be of more limited value when external factors are outside the awareness of the participants (e.g., the role of climate change or macroeconomic forces related to globalization).…”

ABSTRACT. Grassland to woodland conversion, also known as woody plant encroachment (WPE), is a global-scale phenomena caused in large part by changes in social processes that affect rural land use patterns. Woody plant encroachment has raised serious concerns for species conservation, provision of ecosystem services, and viability of rural livelihoods and cultures. We examined the social drivers of WPE using a case study of rangelands in a semi-arid watershed. We employed the life course framework to understand how ranchers have made land ranch management decisions in the context of time, culture, and social change. We interviewed landowners whose families have been on the land for at least two generations to examine (1) the social context influencing a landowner's decision to increase or decrease their involvement in ranching over their life span, and (2) the historical events that facilitated constrained involvement. We relate these changes in involvement to the expansion of woody plants. Three major turning points were related to changes in ranching involvement: graduating high school, retirement, and infirmity of a parent. We found that changes in ranching involvement were influenced by large-scale shifts in culture, market regulations, and land values throughout the 20th century. These shifts led to three behavioral changes on the land that facilitated WPE: (1) changes in livestock following the collapse of the sheep and goat market, (2) increased popularity of hunting, and (3) decreased labor availability on the ranch. These observations illustrate the complex social and ecological forces at work throughout the 20th century that have led to land transformation in central Texas.

“…Kvalitativní přístup umožňuje věnovat pozornost nejen tomu, jak jsou životní dráhy určité kohorty narozených ovlivněny historickými událostmi či socioekonomickými strukturami, případně tomu, jak se mezi sebou liší různé skupiny v rámci jedné kohorty narozených, ale také tomu, jak různí lidé reagují na stejné události či změny odlišně a zejména jak je odlišně prožívají a interpretují v závislosti na svých výchozích podmínkách [Cohler a Hostetler 2004]. Cílem je získat přístup k perspektivě samotného aktéra: jeho hodnotám, definicím situací a jeho vlastnímu chápání sociálních procesů a pravidel, které jsou vý-sledkem jeho socializace a životních zkušeností [Bertaux a Kohli 1984].…”

“…Analyzován je v tomto případě text každého jednotlivého rozhovoru ve svém celku. Tento typ analýzy bývá aplikován jen na omezený počet biografických rozhovorů [Cohler a Hostetler 2004]. Na straně druhé stojí kategorická analýza obsahu (analýza narativů), která se více podobá analýze typické pro zakotvenou teorii a polostrukturované rozhovory.…”

“…Životní příběhy přispívají k pochopení, jak jsou životní přechody a události či stavy mezi nimi zažívány. Skrze životní příběhy můžeme odkrývat příčinné mechanismy životních událostí na základě analýzy významů zkušeností definovaných v subjektivních termínech [Cohler a Hostetler 2004;Bertaux a Kohli 1984]. V tomto článku ukazujeme, jaké jsou přednosti a slabiny obou přístupů, jejich technik sběru dat a metod analýzy.…”

“…Consequently, Glass (2007) states that members of all generations experience defining events between the ages of 5 to 18, which affect their outlook on life and work. Moreover, Cohler and Hostetler (2003) stress that these events may change their outlook on life due to subsequent historical and social change that takes place across the adult life. Furthermore, Benckendorff et al (2010) emphasize that this distinctive and unique pattern of values, attitudes and behaviours has important implications for how a generation will respond to, and create changes in, social and economic context.…”

Unlike the earlier generational cohorts of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y, the Generation Z (known as post-millennial generation) is still underresearched topic in the context of their retail-related behaviour. Although there are notable distinctions between the generations, it can be argued that each generational cohort affects the way traditional brick-and-mortar retailers do business. In addition, traditional retail is facing increasing competition, particularly from online retailers. Furthermore, shopping habits strongly reshape the retail industry, so brick-and-mortar retailers need to adapt their strategies to meet the requirements of today's rapidly changing consumers. Drawing on the previous literature, the purpose of this paper is to identify the main features of the post-millennial generation in brick-and-mortar retail settings. Furthermore, the paper develops a framework that can both guide future research and help traditional brick-and-mortar retailers to better target the postmillennial generation. As far as traditional retailers are concerned, the proper approach to Generation Z cohort seems to be essential to capture this market segment more effectively and to improve their overall in-store shopping experience.
