Entry: Urbanaut

Urbanaut is a classification of urban explorer that is highly debatable due to the restriction placed upon an individual who considers themself to be an urbanaut.

The original idea behind urbanaut is the adherence to a strict code of ethics, including but not limited to:

-"Take only photographs, leave only footprints" (Strict)
-Observing the actions of other urbanauts in order to protect the title.
-Creating a positive public image for UE.
-Presenting oneself as a law abiding citizen at all times, including non-UE.
-Losing the title of urbanaut if code of ethics has been broken, resulting in probation period and/or exclusion.
-Activism in preserving exploration sites from vandalism, destruction, etc.

The term urbanaut was originally coined by Skaught in November, 2004.

A website dedicated to urbanaut was formerly located at http://www.urbanaut.org (DEAD LINK)
