Changing spaces making places - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Location—where a place is, the coordinates
      - Locale - A place is shaped by the people, their cultures and traditions
      - A sense of place - Personal feelings associated with a place. Developed thrrough lived experiences, it reflects emotional and subjective attachment
      - A lived experience—actual feelings and personal history of living in a place. The time spent in a place helps develop this.
    - - Social and personal experiences—If we have a positive experience in a place, we are more likely to attribute a strong emotional attachment to it. We also get strong emotions as part of a group. i.e., the strong emotional attachment sports fans have to their team's home ground. People have a similar, deeper attachment to nations. Especially true of people exiled from their homeland, e.g. the Kurds.
      - Emotions affect our behavior in a place:
        Auschwitz is sad, shocked, upset, and emotional, which is quiet and thoughtful.
        Glastonbury—excited, happy = loud, dancing, carefree
    - - Gender
        
        Places can be described as male or female, a reflection on society's traditional view on gender roles. For example, a football stadium would be perceived as typically male, and a home would be perceived as typically female.
        Women tend to feel less safe than men in spaces like dark alleyways, i.e., geographies of fear—places with unsafe perception are avoided.
        
        What is an example of a place where geography of fear is promintent?
        
        Molestation statistics
        
        Rape Statistics
        
        New Delhi, India - Women try to avoid dangerous areas and going out in the dark.
        
        Molestation is reported every 2 hours.
        
        Rape is reported every 4 hours
      - Religion
        
        Some places have religious and spiritual meanings which have been establishshed over centuries. Natural features such as the Urulu play a key role in some religions and are sacred to Aboriginals
      - Age
        
        Places change in purpose for people as they move through their life cycle; e.g., a park for a 4-year-old is an exciting place to play, for a 16-year-old a place to hang out, and for an 80-year-old a place to walk or take the grandchildren. Perceptions will also change when people revisit a place with different people.
      - Sexuality
        
        Some places acquire a meaning because they are places where groups of people with the same orientation gather. Cities such as London, Brighton, and Bristol have large concentrations of LGBTQ communities in certain areas, providing security. The 'pink pound' often brings economic benefits to an area and can be used as a catalyst for regeneration
      - Role
        
        As people's roles change, places meanings change too. e.g., for children, their school has very different connotations and meanings than their parents or for an adult without children.
        Role also influences perceptions of fear, anxiety, and security; e.g., as a parent your percetions of potential threats such as traffic may be heightened.

- - - - Globalisation is the increasing interconnectedness and interdepenence of the worlds, economically, socially, politically, and culturally.
    - - A set of processes leading to a 'shrinking world' caused by reductions in relative distance between places e.g. travel time
        
        Advantages of time space compression:
        
        Improved communications and internet,
        
        Has facilitated the growth of tertiary and quaternary industries
        
        Rapid flow of information across national and international borders.
        
        People can communicate instantly; e.g., international business has increased or allows communication to be maintained between family and friends.
        
        Improved transport
        
        The ease of low-cost travel and flights makes international travel more accessible to more people.
        Ease of containerization and food transport to ship goods improves trade between nations.
        
        more people able to migrate
        
        Increased variety of currency
        
        Disadvantages of time space compression
        
        Improved communications and interent
    - - The world has become more interconnected and therefore feels smaller. This is achieved by social media, technology, and transport.
