The Natural Habitat of Youth? The Relationship between Childhoods and the Environment in North-East England, 1985-2010

在当代对儿童变性的恐惧背景下，本研究分析了东北地区儿童与环境之间不断发展的关系。研究的重点是童年经历和代理，并询问不断变化的公共政策，地方倡议，以及关于童年，游戏和自然环境的当代辩论，同时推进一种创新的方法，将口头证词与步行访谈和心理地图结合在三个不同的东北工人阶级社区。

In the context of contemporary fears over the denaturalisation of the child, this research analyses the evolving relationship between children and the environment in the North East.The research focuses on childhood experience and agency and interrogates changing public policy, local initiatives, and contemporary debates on childhood, play, and the natural environment, whilst advancing an innovative methodology that combines oral testimony with walking interviews and mental maps in three distinct North East working class communities.
