Yi-Fu Tuan:

The Human Geography of Time and Place

According to Yi-Fu Tuan, place is a center of meaning constructed by human experience.

According to the geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, place is a center of meaning constructed by experience. Place is known not only through the eyes and mind but also through the more passive and direct modes of experience, which resist objectification. To know a place fully means both to understand it in an abstract way and to know it as one person knows another. At a high theoretical level, places are points in a spatial system. At the opposite extreme, they are strong visceral feelings.

参考译文

段义孚：关于时间和地方的人文地理学

段义孚认为，地方是由人类经验建构的意义中心。

地理学家段义孚认为，地方是由经验建构的意义中心。人们不仅可以通过眼睛和头脑来了解地方，还通过更被动、更直接的经验模式了解地方，这些方式是无法被客体化的。充分了解一个地方，意味着既要以抽象的方式理解它，又要像人与人那样去认识彼此。从较高的理论层次来看，地方是空间系统中的点。在另一个极端，它们是强烈的发自内心的感受。
