本文介绍了荷兰乌斯特-格罗宁根（Oost-Groningen）和德国萨尔茨（s<s:1> dharz）农村地区的农村年轻人如何在不同的未来视野中处理他们的农村身份。本文运用未来的视野，而不是预期的未来计划，以强调年轻人渴望的未来的开放性和不确定性。基于15个传记访谈和一项地理背景调查，结果显示农村年轻人如何拥有平行的未来视野，以保持几种选择的开放，他们都旨在保持农村身份。本文阐述了农村年轻人如何在农村身份认同和其他地方的愿望之间妥协。此外，研究结果还显示了他们如何通过进一步内化和外化他们的农村身份，以及在不同的未来视野中接受农村身份的不同方面，来处理农村身份。该论文的结论是，年轻人可以被认为是他们未来的积极参与者，但也出于对未来的不确定性，他们应用平行和时间视野，仍然保持农村身份。
This paper presents insight into how rural young adults in the rural areas of Oost-Groningen, The Netherlands, and Südharz, Germany, deal with their rural identity with regard to different future horizons. This paper applies future horizons instead of intended future plans to emphasize the open and uncertain nature of young adults’ aspired future. Based on 15 biographical interviews and a survey to geographically contextualize these interviews, the results show how rural young adults can have parallel future horizons to maintain several options open in which they all aim to preserve a rural identity. This paper illustrates how rural young adults compromise a rural identity with aspirations elsewhere in a staying or rural horizon elsewhere. In addition, the results show how they deal with rural identities by further internalizing and externalizing their rural identities with variations of embracing aspects of a rural identity with regard to different future horizons. The paper concludes that young adults can be considered, however also out of uncertainty about the future, as active participants of their future who apply parallel and temporal horizons and still preserve a rural identity.
