Place// Definition “Would you like to come around to my place” “My place is not your place” “Eindhoven is a nice place” “She puts me in my place” “A place for everything and everything in its place” [Creswell, 2004] / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place// Definition • Place versus Space “What begins as undifferentiated space becomes place as we get to know it better and endow it with value” [Tuan, 1977] • Various scales • Place as a process / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place// Dimensions In general 3 dimensions of ‘place’ (Canter, 1977; Relph, 1976) / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning

Property// Definition Property as a bundle of rights: • Control of use (exclusive possession) • Right to any benefit from the property • Right to transfer or sell (conveyance) • Right to exclude others (enclosure) Focus is on ‘real property’ (buildings + environment) / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning

Place &Property // Rethinking a relationship / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Physical attributes / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Activities / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Activities • Right to exclude others: • For example: • Parochialization: Appropriation of public domain by certain groups • Can mismatch with the possessors of surrounding buildings / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Meanings • Meanings of home [Després, 1991]: • Reflection of ideas & values • Indicator of Personal Status • Permanence & Continuity • Relationships with Family & Friends • > ‘Feelings of Attachment’ • Security & Control • Center of Activities • > ‘Satisfaction’ • Acting Upon & Modifying dwelling • > ‘Feelings of ownership’ • Differs among, individuals/groups / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Meanings • Attachment to places: • Ownership predicts higher home attachment not to neighborhood • For renters more difficult to experience high attachments • [Brown et al., 2004] / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Meanings • Satisfaction: • Homeowners more satisfied with housing situations than tenants • Unknown related to innate preference for homeownership or due to housing policies pushing households into direction of homeownership • [Elsinga & Hoekstra, 2005] / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Place & Property// Meanings • Feeling of ownership: • People evaluate ideas & objects more favorably. • Cause people to view tangible and intangible possessions as part of extended self • Trigger a sense of responsibility for the entity • [Van Dyne & Pierce, 2004] / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
Concluding remarks • RE Theory should give more attention to possession and meaning • Management should emphasis meaning of places and properties • Strengthen feelings of ownership / Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning
