Concept information

Preferred term

topophilia  

Definition(s)

  • Topophilia lies at the intersection of geography and environmental psychology, describing the human emotional experience of the physical environment, including sensory perceptions, attitudes toward nature, and valuations of specific components or composites of the landscape. Topophilia generally implies an affection for specific places, but the term involves a spectrum of responses that may include disaffecting experiences for disliked or less preferred locations.
