sense of place  

Definition(s)

  • Sense of place refers to subjective human reactions to places. With roots in early forms of humanistic geography, the concept appears in various forms in a considerable body of works expanding on human experience, memory, imagination, emotion, and meaning; accordingly, it is a core value in a broad and varied range of endeavors from theory (i.e., placing humans in Earth's time-space continuum) to practice (e.g., building “green” or selling places as commodities).
