本研究解决了居住地点如何影响家庭生态足迹（EF）的问题。定居点的类型和位置被认为是流动和消费模式及其相关环境负荷的关键决定因素之一。由于不同的聚落类型带来不同的消费强度，造成不利的环境影响，寻找最佳的聚落结构是复杂的。我们通过问卷调查的方式研究了来自爱沙尼亚各地随机选择的 30 所学校的 16-17 岁高中生的环境负荷。研究发现，由于富裕程度、密度以及商品和服务可及性的不同水平（所有这些都在空间上存在差异），高中生的 EF 受到其居住在居住等级中的位置的显着影响。与爱沙尼亚其他地区的学生相比，塔林大都市区的学生往往对环境造成更大的负担，并且具有更高的 EF 值。此外，更高的人均收入和更大的居住空间往往会增加这些学生的足迹。结果表明，爱沙尼亚居民强烈的社会空间分层是转型社会的症状，在他们的环境消费负荷和流动习惯中也很明显。
This study addresses the question of how residential location influences the ecological footprint (EF) of households. The type and location of settlements are considered one of the key determinants of the patterns of mobility and consumption, and their associated environmental load. As different settlement types bring different consumption intensities causing adverse environmental effects, the search for the best settlement structure is complicated. We study the environmental load of 16–17-year-old high school students from thirty randomly selected schools located across Estonia by means of a questionnaire survey. The study finds that the EF of high school students is significantly affected by the position of their residence in the settlement hierarchy as a result of different levels of affluence, density, and accessibility to goods and service, all of which vary spatially. Students from the metropolitan area of Tallinn tend to place a larger load on the environment and have higher EF values than students from the rest of Estonia. In addition, higher per capita income and larger living spaces tend to increase the footprint of these students. The results show that the strong sociospatial stratification of Estonian residents, symptomatic of a transitional society, is evident also in their environmental consumption load and mobility habits.
