The residential-environment climate sense of place in locations of urban revitalization

Povzetek

This paper proposes to use the concept of “sense of place” to describe the particular atmo-sphere prevailing in any specific residential environment. The sense of place is expressed through a number of variables of behavior and variables of personal feeling. The study identifies the sense of place in and around two new housing developments, built in two neglected neighborhoods in the city of Ramat Gan. Results were based on ethnographic analysis of in-depth interviews of residents, half of them living in the new buildings and half of them in adjacent old buildings.
