Abstract
The constitution of Europe has fostered greater human and other mobilities across European borders, however it is not clear whether the border is still actually present in some places or inhibits cross-border mobilities. In this context, a leisure mobilities approach has been used to identify the mobility styles in the Basque Eurocity corridor – a cross-border area between Spain and France. The analysis focuses on leisure mobilities and identifies four different mobility styles based upon leisure orientation variables in terms of values, attitudes and lifestyles; nationality; and socio-demographic characteristics: (1) time-conscious workers, (2) French shoppers, (3) mobile youth and (4) older and less mobile. The results indicate that different leisure orientations and participation levels are highly significant in the constitution of mobility styles, which are usually correlated only with national demographic data. Furthermore, it was identified that a higher identification of mobility constraints was not related to lower levels of participation. Instead, the groups with higher mobility and participation rates raised more awareness of the constraints related to transport and information. Finally, intrapersonal constraints such as age and lack of health showed a greater impact on cross-border mobility, while, unexpectedly, a higher identification of cultural and linguistic constraints was not perceived by participants.
欧盟的法律极大的增强了人和其他事物的跨界移动性, 然而, 尚不清楚目前边界是否仍在限制着一些地方的跨境转移。在这种情况下，本文运用休闲迁移率的方法来识别在巴斯克欧洲走廊—西班牙和法国之间的跨边境地区的移动方式。该分析侧重于休闲迁移率并根据价值、态度、生活方式、国籍和社会人种形态特点等休闲价值观来识别四种不同移动方式，分别是（1）有时间意识工人，（2）法国购物者，（3）流动性强的青年人（4）流动性较小的老年人。结果表明，不同的休闲取向和参与水平对于流动方式来说非常重要，经常和国家人口统计数据相一致。此外，经鉴定，较高的移动性限制和较低的参与水平之间没有关系。 相反，有较高流动性和参与率的群体对于交通信息的约束力有更多的认识。最后，个人的约束因素，例如年龄和健康表现出对跨境移动较大的约束力。 然而, 出乎意料地,有较高的识别度的文化和语言限制并没有被参与者所感知。
