现在有大量关于治疗景观、那些有助于福祉和健康的环境和场所的文献。人们很少关注从一个地方移动到另一个地方这一行为的治疗效果。最近社会科学领域出现的重大流动性“转变”值得欢迎,但这对于流动性对健康和福祉的影响还没有什么可说的。本文描绘了一种出行方式——步行——与福祉和健康之间的关系。这种关系可以被理论化为“治疗流动性”,这个概念与治疗景观的概念很相似。我探讨了这种关系的三个要素:活动;联系;和背景。尽管只考虑了一种形式的流动性,但治疗性流动性的概念可以扩展到其他形式的旅行。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
There is now an extensive literature on therapeutic landscapes, those settings and places that can contribute to wellbeing and good health. Less attention has been paid to the therapeutic qualities of the act of moving from one place to another. The recent emergence of a significant mobilities 'turn' in social science is welcome, but this has as yet had relatively little to say about the consequences of mobility for health and wellbeing. This paper maps the relations between one form of mobility - walking - and wellbeing and health. Such relations may be theorised as 'therapeutic mobilities', a concept that sits comfortably alongside that of therapeutic landscapes. I explore three elements of such relations: activity; connection; and context. Although only one form of mobility is considered, the notion of therapeutic mobilities can be extended to other forms of travel. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
