本文提出了一个分析框架，用于理解是什么让场所变得有意义。在一项访谈研究中，受访者被要求列出他们认为重要的地方，并描述这些地方对他们意味着什么。对访谈的分析表明，受访者自发赋予地点的意义可以在自我、他人和环境这三个极点周围和之间进行映射。此外，还出现了许多潜在的意义维度：区别、评价、连续性和变化。讨论了这些结果与早期实证研究之间的关系。该论文还指出，在很大程度上，实证研究结果与社会科学中的位置理论概念相一致。因此，它认为，实证研究的结果不必局限于“特殊的蕾丝”，而且还可以利用所建议的分析框架，有助于关于当代社会中场所的作用和意义的更普遍的实证和理论讨论。 (C) 2001 年学术出版社。
This paper suggests an analytical framework for the understanding of what makes places meaningful. In an interview study, respondents were asked to list places they considered important and describe what these places meant to them. The analysis of the interviews indicates that meanings spontaneously attributed to places by the respondents can be mapped around and between the three poles of self, others and environment. In addition, a number of underlying dimensions of meaning emerge: distinction, valuation, continuity and change. The relationship between these results and earlier empirical research is discussed. The paper also points out that, to a great extent, the empirical findings converge with theoretical conceptualizations of place within social science. It therefore argues that the results of empirical studies need not be limited to 'special I,laces', but may also, using the suggested analytical framework, contribute to more general empirical and theoretical discussions regarding the roles and meanings of place in contemporary society.
