Space and place are basic components of the lived world; we take them for granted.When we think about them, however, they may assume unexpected meanings
and raise questions we have not thought to ask.”
Yi-Fu Tuan (1977)
This research project explores the significance of our natural environment for human communication, culture, and sense of self. Participants on Vancouver Island, in Calgary, in the Temagami Wilderness and in the U.S. Midwest were interviewed about their impressions, perceptions and experiences. The lead researcher, matthew heinz (known as bettina heinz prior to his transition), gratefully acknowledges the support this study received through a Royal Roads University Faculty Development Grant.
