1. Course objectives
Space is not a void or an isometric plane or a kind of container that holds places. It need to study the relationship of space to a more experientially-based understanding of place, space too must be explored in terms of how people experience it. There are many idea of place, though understanding it in different ways and using it for different theoretical and practical ends. three major criticisms of place and placelessness: that it is essentialist; out of touch with what places really are today; and structured around simplistic dualisms that misrepresent and limit the range of place experience, particularly the possibility of a global sense of place. The crucial question that both theory and practice should ask is how a progressive sense of place and insideness can be made even in the context of our relativist, constantly-changing postmodern world. Based on the understanding of difference between place and placelessness, remarkable demonstration of the potential conceptual and practical power of place, which, by its very nature, gathers worlds spatially and environmentally, marking out centers of human action, intention, and meaning that, in turn, will be done during class and help make place.

2. Course Description
The two small investigations of place and placelessness are intended both to trial the technology per se and to allow us to establish the usefulness of a qualitative approach to its evaluation. Techniques from the social sciences have much to offer in this kind of research. These include direct observation or more commonly, video-recording, although free-form or semi-structured interviews and the collection of relevant artifacts also play significant roles. Accompanying these qualitative data elicitation techniques are a raft of methods for their analysis. Of particular interest here are discourse analysis approaches which are used to identify higher- level discourse fragments and action sequences. The approach is one of identifying themes and regularities from the data, rather than formal hypothesis testing. The work analyses data from participants' subjective reports of their experience. The subjective/objective debate remains a lively topic in the Presence community. We maintain the position that both types of data are necessary to further a full understanding of experiential phenomena such as presence and sense of place.
