Experiential Hospitality Environments: The Roles of the Interior Architectural Features in Affording Meanings of Place

Pelaez, Tari 09 November 2011 (has links)
People’s authentic sense of place is being overshadowed by less authentic experiences referred to as placelessness. Consequently, a demand for experiential interior environments has surfaced. Experiential environmental and place attachment theories suggested that the relationships between self, others, and the environment are what encourage users in creating meaningful authentic experiences. This qualitative study explored the roles of the experiential interior architectural features in affording users of hospitality environments higher-level needs, such as meanings of place. For the case study, ten participants stayed at a hotel for two nights. Participants were given a guided list of ten facets of an experience, which was insidiously structured by both experiential environmental and place attachment theories. The participants used photographs to document each of the facets on the guided list. The photos were then used during the photo elicitation interviews, which evoked additional qualitative information. Participants identified specific interior architectural features and described them using the themes associated to place attachment theories. The findings revealed that the interior architectural features might enrich the meanings a person associates with a given place. Possibly affording users higher-level needs. As a result, if an experiential interior environment allows users to foster relationships between self, others, and the physical environment, they may experience more authentic experiences and give more meanings to a place.

It means the water course degradation that water or surrounds the urban space. In these spaces, preserved areas before, today they seem more waste material area and all type of pollution. However the social life there still remains for a low resource population. The study is on The Lagoa da Francesa (LF) located in the central area in the town of Parintins/Am. Despite of the lamentable state of pollution, the LF is still the arrivals and departure areas of passengers and load from the rural zone of the municipality and from the state of Pará and even so the lake works as recreational place for children who reside in the surroundings. The incredulity of outside people seem don`t be compatible with those use the lake in many ways. From this constatation, this paper does a clipping to investigate the environmental perception of LF surrounding resident children. In particular, it has sought to characterize the physical environment of the LF, and to identify the way of it uses by the children as the attribution of meanings they give to this water resource. This qualitative approach research was developed from the use of drawings and Piagetian clinical interviews from the graphic representation. Participated 120 children (60 girls and 60 boys), from both genders, between 07 and 13 years old, regularly enrolled in two public schools in the Lagoa surroundings. From the analyses it has noticed that children perceive the LF of different ways that constitute six space categories: a) Pollution area; b) Commerce area; c) Residence area; d) Recreation area; e) Flooding area; f) Traffic area. These ways of thinking produced positive, negative and neutral valences, which mean either feeling of attachment and distance or apathy feelings. The data was quantified by the statistical Kruskal-Wallis test, which has sought to know if children have similarities among them or not, and in contrast, the average of valences to perceive the possible differences and similarities between the quantitative and qualitative data. These results display angles which remain in decisions of social use of the LF and alert us that some implicit environmental perceptions to certain uses of children, putting risk at their health, physical and social security. / Este estudo parte de uma realidade socioambiental muito presente nas cidades brasileiras e, de modo especial, na Amazônia. Trata-se da degradação dos cursos d’água que banham ou circundam o espaço urbano. Nestes espaços, outrora lugares preservados, hoje mais parecem lugares de despejo de resíduos e toda espécie de poluição. No entanto, a vida social lá ainda continua para uma população que poucos recursos possui. O estudo trata da Lagoa da Francesa (LF) localizada na região central da cidade de Parintins/AM. Apesar do estado lastimável de poluição, a LF continua a ser ponto de embarque e desembarque de passageiros e cargas vindos da zona rural do município e do estado do Pará e, ademais, lugar de recreação das crianças que residem no entorno. A incredulidade das pessoas de fora parece não ser compatível com aqueles que a usam das mais diversas formas. A partir dessa constatação, este estudo faz um recorte para investigar a percepção ambiental das crianças residentes no entorno da LF. De modo particular, procurou-se caracterizar o ambiente físico da LF, identificar as formas de uso pelas crianças e bem como a atribuição de significados dada pelas crianças a este recurso hídrico. A pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa foi desenvolvida a partir do uso do desenho e entrevista clínica piagetiana da representação gráfica. Participaram da pesquisa 120 crianças (60 meninas e 60 meninos), de ambos os gêneros, entre 07 e 13 anos de idade, regularmente matriculadas em duas escolas públicas do entorno da Lagoa. A partir das análises constatou-se que as crianças percebem a LF de diferentes formas, de modo a constituir seis categorias espaciais: a) Lugar de Poluição; b) Lugar de Comércio; c) Lugar de Moradia; d) Lugar de Recreação; e) Lugar de Inundação; f) Lugar de Trânsito. Estes modos de pensar produziram valências positiva, negativa e neutra que significam ora sentimentos de apego ou distanciamento ora sentimentos de apatia. Os dados foram quantificados através do teste estatístico Kruskal-Wallis, o qual buscou saber se as crianças têm similaridades entre si ou não e, em contraste, as médias das valências para perceber as possíveis diferenças e semelhanças entre os dados quantitativos e qualitativos. Tais resultados nos mostram focos que prevalecem nas decisões de uso social da LF e nos alertam que algumas percepções ambientais subjacentes a determinados usos das crianças, põem em risco sua saúde e sua segurança física e social.

Pandemins påverkan på hemmet : En kvalitativ studie om hur människor anpassat sina hem under covid-19 samt hur upplevelser om hemmet har påverkats i samband med det.

Kynman, Claudia January 2022 (has links)
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om och vilka anpassningar i hemmet människor har gjort för att arbeta hemifrån under pandemin covid-19. Dessutom undersöks huruvida detta i sådant fall påverkat upplevelser av och känslor för hemmet. Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ metod som tillämpats genom 15 stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med människor som berörts av Folkhälsomyndighetens allmänna råd om att arbeta hemifrån. Resultaten från intervjuerna belyses ur ett teoretiskt ramverk som baseras på en modell för platsers betydelse samt boundary management theory vilket innefattar taktiker för gränsdragningar i hemmet. Resultatet visar att människor har anpassat sina hem och även sig själva. Dels har de anpassat sina hem fysiskt med objekt som förknippas med kontorsarbete, dels har människors tidsperspektiv påverkats och temporala strategier har använts. Hemmets nyskapade dualism i form av att vara både hem och arbetsplats har påverkat människors känslor på olika sätt. Sammantaget har hemmet upplevts som positivt i samband med hemarbete, men inte uteslutande.
