这项研究的目的是确定促进赫尔辛基大都市区可持续发展的行为障碍。参与者(n=198)根据他们的态度和行为评估了可持续发展的36个要素。数据采用混合方法进行分析。高成本是可持续生活方式的最大障碍。此外，参与者认为他们没有足够的力量来产生效果。由于今天的生活节奏很快，缺乏时间也是可持续生活的障碍。66.5%的障碍是背景障碍，33.5%是个人障碍。与鼓励个人改变态度和行为相比，在社会背景下进行干预似乎是实现可持续性的更有效的方式。这就是为什么激励和政府支持对于促进可持续发展的行为至关重要的一个原因。例如，在一个可持续的社会中，贸易商品占了生态和社会成本。
The objective of the research was to qualify the barriers to behavior that promotes sustainability in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The participants (n= 198) assessed 36 elements of sustainability according to their attitudes and behavior. The data were analyzed by mixed methods. High costs were the most significant barrier to a sustainable way of life. In addition, participants felt they have insufficient power to have an effect. Due to today's fast pace of life, lack of time was also an obstacle to sustainable living. 66.5 percent of the barriers were contextual and 33.5 percent personal. An intervention in the context of society would seem a more effective way to reach sustainability than encouraging individuals to change their attitudes and behavior. This is a reason why inducements and government support are essential for sustainability-promoting behavior. In a sustainable society, for instance, traded goods account for the ecological and social costs.
