Human Geography: GEOG 1101
Chapter 7: Interpreting Places and Landscapes
Place-Making: Territoriality
Definitions: Persistence of attachment of individuals or people to a specific location => the
community's sense of attachment about a place. Territoriality actively produced, maintained,
and contested => the product of political relations (who gets to create a certain territoriality,
who gets to lay claim (cultural system affects purposes), who gets to belong, etc)
● Requires controls over a place, people, resources, relationships in specific places
● Inside/Outside, Inclusion/Exclusion of a particular place
● Ex: promote exclusion
+ street arts established claim and identity of a place => claim spaces to a particular group
and signal the group belonging and attachment
+ opposite side of the gated community: control access who can be in the neighborhood =>
determine who has access, included or excluded in the community
● 3 features:
+ Regulate social interactions => produce identity
+ Regulate access to people and resources
+ Focus and symbol of a membership and identity

Territoriality promotes inclusion
Ex: South river watershed alliance (cross the political boundaries) tries to create the
environmental tool to clean up the environment bc of urbanization
=> a key aspect controls resources and relationships often through access or constructed
idea of a place
● The rule becomes associated with a place rather than a specific group of
people

● Place making is a political and social process
● In the attempt to regulate a place, we are sending signal to one group of inclusivity
and then excluding another group => reinforce the idea of identity
Ex: Anti-discrimination movement in downtown Athens

● Place-Making: Cognitive Images
● How we perceive a place: Gather information and make meanings about a place.
Filter the environment to make the places meaningful. Not everyone did the same
way but based on personality and situation
● Go to a new place: need to simplify the world to remember
● Cognitive images vary based on who you are (mental map) => tell people's
experience in their own living places => influence how they perceive a place. The
same place can have very different mental maps for different people
