“…Proximity‐maintaining behaviour has generally been considered the most important process in building place attachment (Hidalgo & Hernandez, 2001), and thus, we used mobility to capture such behaviour. Studies of the associations between mobility and place attachment have shown mixed results: Gustafson (2001) indicated that an excessively mobile self‐perception was a threat to place attachment, whereas Bolotova et al (2017) showed that individuals with a high level of travel mobility can maintain a strong sense of local attachment. To measure mobility in our survey, we asked the respondents to report their frequency of international travel on a 5‐point scale (1 = never ; 5 = always ).…”

Hong Kong citizens’ sense of belonging has gone through a period of fluctuation during the period of rapid socio‐political and legal change since the outbreak of the Anti‐Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019. This study explored how multiple dimensions of the place attachment of Hong Kong citizens have been shaped by factors associated with these changes. Six socio‐political variables were incorporated into the three dimensions of the person–process–place (PPP) framework. Based on a representative survey of the local population (n = 768), we found that political inclination and identity were significantly associated with the sense of place, with citizens identifying as Chinese and aligning with the pro‐establishment camp showing higher levels of place attachment. Mobility was negatively associated with place attachment, whereas the correlation between attachment and perceptions of the law and legal system was positive. The study has implications for Hong Kong’s current socio‐political and institutional environment and for emigration. It also demonstrates the wider applicability of the PPP framework for identifying and clarifying the various predictors of different dimensions of place attachment.

“…This is exacerbated because many of the young people in northern industrial cities grow up in highly mobile families of former work migrants who regularly travel outside their home regions since people working in the North have rather long vacations. 8 As a result, many northern residents develop attachment and connections to both their northern homes and their regions of origin (Liarskaia et al 2020;Bolotova et al 2017). In other words, most young people who grow up in the North are used to travel and are mobile from early childhood.…”

The Routledge series Research in Polar Regions seeks to include research and policy debates about trends and events taking place in two important world regions: the Arctic and Antarctic. Previously neglected periphery regions, with climate change, resource development and shifting geopolitics, these regions are becoming increasingly crucial to happenings outside these regions. At the same time, the economies, societies and natural environments of the Arctic are undergoing rapid change. This series seeks to draw upon fieldwork, satellite observations, archival studies and other research methods which inform about crucial developments in the Polar regions. It is interdisciplinary, drawing on the work from the social sciences and humanities, bringing together cutting-edge research in the Polar regions with the policy implications.

“…In Arctic social studies, youth have been a special focus for decades [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Despite an increasing research interest in Russian Arctic youth's portrait and migration motivations [37][38][39][40][41], our knowledge in this sphere is still scarce. This limits our understanding of the factors contributing to social sustainability in the Arctic regions for the years ahead.…”

Based on quantitative and qualitative analysis, this paper attempts to answer a research question that is critical for many Arctic communities: “What makes local youth want to leave?” Using the Russian Arctic cities of Naryan-Mar, Salekhard, and Novy Urengoy (Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets regions) as case studies, this article explores how local youth contribute to social sustainability and define the futures of their Arctic cities. The study identifies new variables relevant to the youth cohort built on the Urban Sustainability Index and social sustainability model. Based on 400+ questionnaires and interviews with Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth, education professionals, and public officials, this study looks at the youth’s educational and professional strategies, social activities and cultural consumption, migration patterns, and civic engagement in a broader context. This article also discusses how local youth feel disempowered in building their futures and highlights the importance of access to educational opportunities and wider career choices in the Arctic.
