“…Human geographers take open spaces as social creation arguing in the humanistic perspectives of 'human-space' interactions. The humanistic perspectives propose a definite but complex relationship between the character of specific places and the cultural identities of those who inhabit them (Campbell, 2018). The place is the creation of human-space interactions and it is always associated with people who behave in that space.…”

“…The place is thus a unique entity that has a history and meaning (Lukermann, 1964). The place embodies the experiences and aspirations of a people which is not only a fact to be explained in the broader frame of space, but it is also a reality to be clarified and understood from the perspectives of the people who have given it meaning (Campbell, 2018). The creation of meaning by the human interactions on space is a place that is therefore associated with human interactions with space.…”

People, place, and space are the main domain of spatial research which is widely discussed in the geographic discipline. Geographers always focus on the meanings related to space and human interactions to explain people, place, and space. The concept was explained by Richard Harsthrone (1959), Fred E Lukermann (1964), David Harvey (1969), Henri Lefebvre (1974), Yi-fu Tuan (1974), Edward Relph (1976) and Doreen Massey (2005), etc. As a human geographer, Yi.fu Tuan has a great contribution to explain people-place relations and further explained by Relph, Massey, and other scholars. Grounding on the geographic research traditions, this paper presents the concept of people, place, and space reviewing the historiographical literatures and some empirical research studies on people-space relations. Theorists have argued that people and space are deep-rooted in studying place attachment creating people’s sense of place. People’s actions and behaviors create meaning through their individual and communal behaviors in that space where they live and interact. Moreover, theoretical perspectives argue that placemaking is always associated with the social and cultural dimensions of a society. Empirically, as an indigenous society, people from the core area of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) have been perceiving urban open space as a commonplace for social and cultural life activities whereas migrants’ people living in the newly growing settlements have been perceiving the open space as a place for recreation and social capital enhancement.

“…In humanistic geography, the understanding of place has recently been changing. The place can be seen as both a socially produced and personally experienced space (Hyvärinen, 2014; see also Campbell, 2018). However Duhn (2012) defines place as a recognizable, physically built, or natural place.…”

“…As with Archaeology, during the 19th century, ideas of landscape and its role in the construction of nation would influence theoretical approaches in History towards the early 20th century, that eventually would see the formation of currents such as Urban History, and a profound preoccupation for the landscape. In more recent times, while practitioners of the discipline have traditionally studied time and place as parallel concepts, Spatial History has emerged as a sub-field looking to merge both (Campbell 2016). In the case of Literature, explorations of space were initiated in the descriptive, interpretative and fictional worlds of works in the 19th century, where the dynamics in urban spaces and travel accounts opened ways to reflect and understand place, at least from particular perspectives (Kalifa 2004, Grant 2010.…”
