“…their spatial characteristics but also their social meanings [38]. Sense of place is what makes a space specific [1], and generally relates to the physical characteristics of the environment, the affect and meanings (including memories and associations), and the activities afforded by the place including the social interactions associated with the place [52].…”

Human experience of physical space and places is a complex phenomenon that includes geographical and sensorial, as well as more social and interpersonal dimensions. We investigate theoretical insights from computing research and environmental psychology on space and place to determine the different dimensions of the experience of physical space. Empirical results from a case study on creative activities for environment exploration are also presented. We indicate five dimensions that encompass the different ways of apprehending our environment, as well as the emotional relationships we develop toward it through personal and interpersonal experiences-in-place. To us, technology should be examined in terms of its potentiality for supporting rich experiences of and in physical space. We assume that the identified dimensions can serve as basis for the development of technological tools to be used in that perspective.

“…Although settlements and places can be categorized into different types and sizes, a "place" in a layperson's mind may refer to regions of various sizes, including larger regions, such as states and provinces, and smaller regions, such as neighborhoods or communities [36]. This conceptualization of place is based upon the cognitive categorization of geographic objects proposed by Lloyd et al [37].…”

Delineating regional boundaries for places has a long tradition in geography, urban analysis and regional planning. Its theoretical basis may be traced back to the central place theory. The normative approach, using spatial interaction models, has been used, and the empirical approach, using commuting data, is also popular. While gathering commuting data using traditional methodologies (e.g., surveys) is costly, data capturing people's locations and their thoughts, are widely available through social media platforms. This article demonstrates that Twitter data can be used to delineate boundaries among competing places. A generic approach based on the density of place names mentioned in geo-tagged tweets was proposed to reflect the sphere of influence or dominance of places. Locations with the same levels of influence from competing places constitute the boundaries delineating the regions dominated by the respective places. The method was tested to determine the boundaries between two metropolitan regions, two local cities, and two neighborhoods or communities. Results from these simple case studies demonstrated the validity of the general approach for evaluating existing place boundaries and determining boundaries if they have not been delineated. The method is applicable to different levels of the place hierarchy and has practical values for planning of places of different sizes.

“…Agarwal (2003) explored the cognitive theories of place learning and the phenomenological notion of sense of place (SOP) in the formation of user concepts. He erected three null hypotheses: Distance estimates are place‐dependent (1.1) Objects are estimated to be closer when they lie inside rather than outside the place (1.2) SOP is linked to familiarity (1.3) …”
