Crowsettiläsiirtyminen

Crowsettiläsiirtyminen is a theoretical concept originating from the field of speculative sociology and future studies. It describes a hypothetical societal shift where a significant portion of the population abandons traditional urban or suburban living in favor of highly dispersed, self-sufficient settlements. These settlements are envisioned as small, interconnected communities, often located in remote or previously undeveloped rural areas. The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "crowsette," a fictional diminutive of "crow," suggesting a small, scattered presence, and "siirtyminen," a Finnish word meaning "migration" or "transition."

The driving forces behind such a hypothetical migration are often speculated to include technological advancements enabling remote work and decentralized resource management, a desire for greater autonomy and a reduced ecological footprint, or a reaction to perceived failures of existing societal structures. Proponents of the concept suggest it could lead to a more resilient and adaptable society, less vulnerable to large-scale disruptions. Critics, however, raise concerns about the feasibility of widespread self-sufficiency, the potential for social isolation, and the environmental impact of developing numerous new, dispersed settlements. The concept remains largely theoretical and is often explored in fictional narratives and academic thought experiments.
