Space and Place

Space and Place:

* based on "Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience by Yi-Fu Tuan" *

Ways of understanding the Space and Place.

We need to consider different ways how people feel & think about space, evoking "a sense of place."

Also to understand how people form attachments to home, neighbourhood and nation.

Then, how feelings about the space and place are affected by the sense of time.

For example, learning to know the neighbourhood requires the identification of significant localties such as 'street corners', 'architectural landmarks' and 'sounds'.
Also, long residence(natives) enables us to know a place intimately, yet its image may lack sharpness unless we also see it from the outside & reflect upon our experience.
