“…Place also enables subject and identity formation, as the self and place are mutually constitutive (Entrikin 1991, Sack 1993, Entrikin 1997, McDowell 1997, Casey 2001a). Identity is not some uniform trait or bundle of characteristics that remains consistent everywhere, but shifts according to the different places and social situations we find ourselves in.…”

Nomads and mobile places: disentangling place, space and mobility

Though there is a danger that 'place' may become subsumed or ignored in research as attention now shifts to questions of 'mobility,' discussion of place has burgeoned throughout academia. Many texts declare that place is important, or proclaim the power of place. While place has been shown to be a fundamental part of human existence, what does this then mean for those who are characterized as not being interested in places? Examining nomadic Gypsies and Travelers in Britain, who are often constructed as placeless, highlights that this is not simply a representational concern, but has a tangible empirical affect, impinging on their everyday practices as well as influencing policies and laws that actively deny them their right to place. By exploring various definitions of place and how this impacts the understanding of mobilities, I demonstrate that the meaning ascribed to nomads is dependent upon a spatialized definition of place which is underpinned by the space-place binary. It is this aspect of the discourse that allows for nomads to be constructed as out-of-place wherever they are, and by recognizing this we can avoid framing placelessness as a natural characteristic of nomadism. Reconceptualizing place allows for more nuanced understandings of nomadism, as our identities are constructed in relation to both place and mobility, not just one or the other.

“…Dans l'affinage des outils pour comprendre ce qu'il y a de nouveau dans la territorialité contemporaine, la notion de lieu a fait l'objet dernièrement d'une recrudescence d'intérêt (Berdoulay, 1985;Entrikin, 1992Entrikin, et 1997Retaillé, 1997). Une des raisons en est certainement l'insatisfaction engendrée par une pensée liée à la notion de territoire: celle-ci fonctionne comme le lit de Procuste, tant elle prédétermine la réflexion en imposant dès le départ un cadre spatial et une volonté politique donnés.…”

Les mutations actuelles de la territorialité, liées à la crise de la modernité, peuvent être approchées par l'intermédiaire de la notion de lieu. Tout en tenant compte de l'affirmation contemporaine du sujet, cette notion permet de caractériser géographiquement celle d'espace public et de montrer comment celle-ci peut s'articuler à l'identité collective. Une stratégie de lieu en découle et peut être utilisée en aménagement.Present-day changes of territoriality, which are related to the crisis of modernity, can be approached through the notion of place. While acknowledging the contemporary assertion of the subject, the notion of place makes it possible for geography to characterise the idea of public space and to show how the latter can be related to collective identity. A strategy of place follows from this approach, and it can be used in urban and regional planning

“…Overall 'sense of place' is a multifaceted phenomenon defined or affected by a wide range of factors: the natural and cultural environment; history and traditions; and family and social activities along with the rituals, myths, meanings, symbols and qualities that people are associated with through a long and deep experience of a particular locality or region and are important factors in the process of developing a 'sense of place.' Entrikin (1997) believes continually, blended spatial scales are caused by the language of collective narratives and public discourses which "move between relatively centred and relative decentred points of view" (p. 263). He argues that although place is an important part of discussions involving modern political theories, conception of place is the phenomenon that is connected and defined through particularity of traditional communities.…”

A living room in the city: the place of public space in the everyday lives of Middle Eastern women in Greater Brisbane

With the first step people take out of their homes, they enter public territory. One of the significant visions for urban planners producing spaces for public life is creating a feeling of comfort for each urban dweller in this wide territory of many. Successful public spaces can only be produced through informed planning and understanding the needs of all urban dwellers. In an attempt to understand the needs of one group of urban dwellers, Middle Eastern women in Greater Brisbane, this study investigates their everyday experiences of public spaces in Greater Brisbane and explores the suitability of available public spaces for this group.The aim of this study is to answer questions about the roles that urban spaces play in the daily lives of migrant women to find ways of making better connections between their everyday experience as migrants and public spaces as a constituent element of social life. To introduce a platform in which the voice of this minority group could be heard this study is an attempt to explore and understand the role and structure of urban spaces from three different angles: the meaning of public and private space, and relationships between the two spaces; diversity and migration and the impact of these on the everyday life of migrant people (especially on their use of public space); and women and their needs and expectations for urban spaces. These three different themes, in addition to the characteristics of Australian society and cities, could describe the main question of this research: how can the experiences of Middle Eastern migrant women using public spaces inform the planning and design of such spaces?Phenomenology is the research approach adopted in this study. A Phenomenological approach is appropriate when the research question requires an intimate awareness and deep understanding of how humans experience a situation. Based on data collected through semistructured in-depth interviews with twenty Middle Eastern women, and with the assist of NVivo software and Phenomenological approach (Moustakas' modification of the Van Kaam model), twelve themes were identified that address the way this group of urban dwellers experience the built and natural environment.Aside from an in-depth understanding of the urban experience for Middle Eastern women, the findings from this study recognises and understands how minority groups/migrants experience urban settings presenting possible ways planning disciplines could better respond to the needs and expectations of these urban dwellers. The research findings presented in this study contribute to planning involving Middle Eastern populations in multicultural settings and show how gender, social construct, ethnic composition, religious beliefs, and lifestyle define and change the ways in ii which urban spaces are experienced and used by these urban dwellers. Subsequently these findings emphasize the role of urban specialists, particularly urban planners, in design and production of inclusive urban spaces that are suitable for use by multicult...
