Changing Places Flashcards
Tripartite Model of place attachment (geographical theory)
3 categories
place
person
process
Person
individual- personal experiences in the place, milestones and realisations
group or cultural- religious or historical
Place(Tripartite)
Physical- natural, built (physically looks like)
Social- the social activity associated with the place eg social arena/social symbol eg shopping
Process(Tripartite)
affect- emotions eg happiness or pride
cognition- memory, meaning, schemas, knowledge
behaviour- subconsciously impact your behaviour and actions
Insider
feel like they belong in a certain place.
they will understand unspoken rules or society, conform to local norms, permanent resident, born there, friends or connections, fluent in the local language
outsider
feel out of place and that they do not belong
misunderstand social norms
alienated
could be not born there eg immigrants
not fluent in the local language eg idioms
social exclusion
exclusion from a society eg racism or homophobia, tourists, immigrants
spacial exclusion
exclusion from a space. This can be a result of low gov funding.
eg anti homeless benches or spikes
gated communities- access is controlled and they may even have local amenities so you don’t have to leave
Near places
somewhere that is known well due to it being close by eg burnley
far places
somewhere that is known but not well due to it being a distance away
historically, a place being far away has been used to justify racism wars etc
media places
- experienced through other people’s perceptions eg film and books
-makes the world seem smaller
media rep will contrast with other forms of representation such as maps
we may be particularly attached to fictional places as they cannot be ruined by reality
experienced place
a location a person has visited in their lifetime.
We have been their and developed a sense of place and attachment. People can have different experiences of the same place
experiences can generate topophilia or topophobia
character of place
reputation
smell
landscape features
traditions
landmarks
people
history
culture
topography
endogenous
internal. Eg river or people or architecture
exogenous
external eg migrants and government influence
endogenous factors examples
topography(hills/mountains)
land use(urban, agricultural)
economic characteristics (primary,tertiary etc)
physical geography (geology and rivers)
infrastructure( motorways, railway)
location-affects timescale-eg less victorian housing near coast
built environment(Georgian, victorian etc)
demographic characteristics(ethnicity, age, population)

Place Identity
the meaning and significance of a place to the people who live there and its users. However it is contentious as different groups of people hold multiple and conflicting views
Factors affecting place identity
economic growth- flows of people from one place to another (urbanisation)
agglomeration- people move from rural to urban areas
suburbanisation- urban sprawl causes the city to grow and increased transport means people can move further out of cc
counter-urbanisation- urban-rural
regeneration- redevelopment of run down areas
Positives way suburbanisation can affect inner city
-decreased demand for high density housing
-low wuality housing can be cleared and more low rise buildings constructed
clearance in space can improve transport links
-increase in environmental quality- recreational areas can be created, less traffic and smog
negative ways suburbanisation has impacted inner city
decline in inner city
business move away and shops close(lower business tax so lower council funding)
decrease in employment- demultiplier effect
communites are split up and buildings are left empty
area looks run down
social conflict between rich and poor areas
positive suburbanisation on the rural urban fringe
increased people paying taxes-more investment
as wealthier people move in, there is an increased demand dor recreational facilities such as golf courses
demand has aided growth of retail parks
increasing employment opportunities
negative impacts on rural urban fringe
increased cost of land and housing
greenbelt is put under pressure
more people commuting- increase in noise and air pollution
lose local village community atmosphere
the city increases in size as the demand for housing in the suburbs increases
globalisation
the increSe of trade around the world especially by large companies producing and trading goods
interconnection of the world’s economic cultural and political systems
TNCs
can lead to city centres becoming clone towns and having placelessness, as they lose their uniqueness.
