We tend to gain a sense of place to a place that we have visited and felt that we understood compared to a place that we heard about on the news. To get a sense of place ‘you had to be there’, actually visiting a -place stimulates sense. We taste the food (physical) and smell the drains NDS BECAUSE OF THIS we develop our second space how we perceive this if we enjoy or hate. The more time we spend there we begin to build our third space as we see more of the dynamic constructs such as time and weather and how it affects the sense of place.
