I'm intereseted in how this perception changes according to the position of an individual within the cultural stratification of society. Traditional/structured people percieve space and city differently than modern or even postmodern ones. And they ascribe significance to parts of a city differently too. Although there is plenty of literature on this issue in modernity and postmodernity, traditional urbanites did not get their share. It's a pity as they form the biggest chunk of the urban users in the developing world. I'm doing a dissertation on the subject, and need to substantiate my theoretical base before conducting interviews/fieldwork. Any ideas anyone?
