Abstract: The growing virtual and physical mobility, in the form of matured ICT (Information and Communications and Technology) and fast transport infrastructure, has accelerated the movement of people, information and capital etc. There have been wide concerns on the loss of place identity due to the resultant increasing fluidity and temporality in place-based disciplines. Everyday life, as the daily routine, provides fixity and solidity in the spatial context. The research assumes that that everyday life constitutes a pivotal component in shaping personal identities; whereas the interaction between individuals and space, in turn influences the conception and perception process, and shapes a place and constructs its identity. The research investigates how mobility and everyday time-space allocation patterns have influenced the construct of place identity. MTR station areas in Hong Kong are selected as the test field due to the prevailing of intra-urban railway system as a sustainable way tackling the staggering travel demand, and the wide acceptance of urban spaces produced in the form of above-station podium mall with residential/office buildings by MTRC (HK). Given the fact that current station area development theories such as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and Node-Place Model have not provided an explicit concept on the shaping of place under the prevailing travel pattern and identical urban space, the necessity of studying the place-making process in the station area become evident. The research is conducted through various scaled perspectives. At the urban scale, all the station areas in Hong Kong are classified into ten clusters according to their employment activities. This reveals that the distribution of socio-economic activities in each station area reflects the everyday time-allocation pattern and associates with the physical mobility. At the station area scale, Kennedy Town and Po Lam are selected as two cases each presenting an identical community influenced by distinctive planning philosophy. Kennedy Town represents communities consisting of street blocks, whereas Po Lam represents master planned estates influenced by the Neo-liberalism. A total of 400 structured interviews have been carried out to collect time-space allocation data by time diaries and route maps. The findings uncover the time-space sections of the two communities, and lead to the conclusion that as transportation system mobilizes individuals, the distinctive identity in a particular place is outstretched and melted into other areas of the city. Route maps of classified social groups by time allocation patterns show that micro place identity is associated with the distribution of mobility power and the spatial flows of social groups. Yet the master-planned shopping mall and residential estates neutralize the asymmetric mobility power by manipulating the circulation and the retail facilities of everyday life needs, blurring the micro place identity by packaging it as a whole brand name. This study has contributed to the understanding of place identity from the perspective of mobility and the practice of everyday life at multiple scales. In addition, the research provides an international reference for future studies on the station areas with its detailed findings and unique methodology design. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5689299 Subjects:

This book offers a close look at the discourse of and around three socially marginalised and vulnerable groups – Irish Travellers, Squatters and Homeless people – in order to understand more about how individuals within them position themselves vis-à-vis mainstream society. It investigates the groups' diverse and provisional relationship with space that challenges mainstream society's spatial logic. Given that the relationship between mobility, space and identity has been explored in migrant contexts, Roberta Piazza proposes a reconsideration of this relationship beyond people's movement from one place to another. Investigating the space-identity nexus among the three groups, she highlights how mobility is not solely a cross-country phenomenon, but a no-less crucial and dramatic reality within an individual nation. Based on close linguistic analysis of interviews collected over many years, Piazza investigates how the participants construct their social and personal identities when talking about themselves and the sites they inhabit, drawing on the concepts of 'heterotopia' and non-sexual desire.

The Northern peripheries of Europe, which are covered by this book, are associated with remoteness, the frontier, isolated communities, colonialism and resource extraction. Recently, huge projects in petroleum and hydropower have been located there, and the region has become better known as an attractive tourist destination. Although these spaces are perceived as being marginal, they are inhabited and linked into globalization and international agendas. This book examines how people live in such remote spaces in an emerging global world of connectivity, interdependency, mobility and non-linear dynamics. The various case studies examine a wide range of experiences, ranging from tourists and local settlers to those who migrate for labour in old or new industries, or to pursue the hybrid urban/rural life of the periphery. In this book, mobility and place come together. The analyses demonstrate how mobility and place mutually constitute each other and how specific relationships between the two aspects are crucial in the making of societies. The authors study attempts to reinvent places, together with connections and the opening of 'new scapes' in order to sustain businesses, municipalities and people's livelihood.

Recipient of the 2014 EDRA Achievement Award. Place attachments are emotional bonds that form between people and their physical surroundings. These connections are a powerful aspect of human life that inform our sense of identity, create meaning in our lives, facilitate community and influence action. Place attachments have bearing on such diverse issues as rootedness and belonging, placemaking and displacement, mobility and migration, intergroup conflict, civic engagement, social housing and urban redevelopment, natural resource management and global climate change. In this multidisciplinary book, Manzo and Devine-Wright draw together the latest thinking by leading scholars from around the globe, capturing important advancements in three areas: theory, methods and application. In a wide range of conceptual and applied ways, the authors critically review and challenge contemporary knowledge, identify significant advances and point to areas for future research. This volume offers the most current understandings about place attachment, a critical concept for the environmental social sciences and placemaking professions.

Known as highly mobile cattle nomads, the Wodaabe in Niger are today increasingly engaged in a transformation process towards a more diversified livelihood based primarily on agro-pastoralism and urban work migration. This book examines recent transformations in spatial patterns, notably in the context of urban migration and in processes of sedentarization in rural proto-villages. The book analyses the consequences that the recent change entails for social group formation and collective identification, and how this impacts integration into wider society amid the structures of the modern nation state.

Engaging Film is a creative, interdisciplinary volume that explores the engagements among film, space, and identity and features a section on the use of films in the classroom as a critical pedagogical tool. Focusing on anti-essentialist themes in films and film production, this book examines how social and spatial identities are produced (or dissolved) in films and how mobility is used to create different experiences of time and space. From popular movies such as "Pulp Fiction," "Bulworth," "Terminator 2," and "The Crying Game" to home movies and avant-garde films, the analyses and teaching methods in this collection will engage students and researchers in film and media studies, cultural geography, social theory, and cultural studies.
