Sense of place---the meaning that people make out of and attribute to locations in space, that is closely related to feelings of belonging, identity, self, and that can serve as a powerful basis for action---is a basic form of human psychological relation to the material environment. In this work the emergence of sense of place is examined developmentally, in the ongoing perception of environment and activity in it. This research focused on how the properties of places and the person's personal culture (past experiences, cultural competences, embodied skills of 'dwelling') interact in micro-scale development (microgenesis) whereby novel senses of places are articulated. Three qualitative studies are set up as models of emergence of sense of place in encounters broadly following different mundane activities and practices of urban living. The first study involved observing how people react to an unfamiliar building in an actual urban environment. Participants were walking along with the researcher in a low-income neighborhood in Worcester, MA, and encountering the Buddhist Meditation Temple. The second study was a field observation of activities and reactions of visitors to the Grand Court of the Macy's Department Store in Philadelphia, PA, home of the Wanamaker Organ. These observations focused on how the rupture of routine store muzak-saturated soundscape by the live organ music created conditions for shifting and potentially conflicting constellations of actions and reactions available to the ordinary people. The third study involved constrained interpretation of an unfamiliar fragment of instrumental music, in conditions where there is a demand to interpret this music in spatialized terms. Sense of place is shown to be dynamically emergent here-and-now, even in constrained or ambiguous conditions. This project has demonstrated the immense capacity of our psychic systemic functioning to assemble sense of place, even out of the most minimal circumstances and encounters. This reverses the commonly assumed order of interpretation whereby places are considered to have a 'real' or 'authentic' meaning.' The alternative proposed here is that psychically, places are contingent constellations of meanings emerging in the dynamic encounters with environment, and held together by microgenetic developmental process of spatial sensemaking.
