3.2.2.2.2 Meaning and representation
The importance of the meanings and representations attached to places by people with a particular focus on people’s lived experience of place in the past and at present.
How humans perceive, engage with and form attachments to places and how they present and represent the world to others, including the way in which everyday place meanings are bound up with different identities, perspectives and experiences.
How external agencies, including government, corporate bodies and community or local groups make attempts to influence or create specific place-meanings and thereby shape the actions and behaviours of individuals, groups, businesses and institutions.
How places may be represented in a variety of different forms such as advertising copy, tourist agency material, local art exhibitions in diverse media (eg film, photography, art, story, song etc) that often give contrasting images to that presented formally or statistically such as cartography and census data.
How both past and present processes of development can be seen to influence the social and economic characteristics of places and so be implicit in present meanings.
