  • Defense of Place: an Overview
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION i. Sense of Place--Defense of Place: An Overview: Using the Toronto Island as a case study, this investigation argues that there is a dialectical relationship between sense of place (i.e., strong emotional attachment to a place of personal significance and meaning) and defense of place (i.e., specific political, legal and other actions taken to protect a place that is threatened). That is to say, When a place to which a person or group of people is strongly attached is threatened in some way. the sense of place may lead to and condition the nature of the defense of place; and. when a place is threatened and defended, that defense of place, in turn, conditions and influences the nature of sense of place. It is impossible to fully comprehend individual and collective responses to a threat without understanding the nature of the individual and collective attachment to that which is being threatened. Actions taken in defense of place, therefore, cannot be fully understood without appreciation of the part­ icipants' sense of place. Similarly, the very actions and experiences associated with defense of place may, in turn, heighten and/or otherwise influence participants' sense of place. In a situation where defense of place has occurred, therefore, participants' sense of place cannot be fully comprehended without a parallel understanding of their defense of place. It follows from this that in order to properly study a dialectical relationship between sense of place and defense of place, - .t ­ both the specific nature of the sense of place and the specific nature of the defense of place must be investigated in depth (as in the case study presented here) • Sense of place is a phenomenon of considerable interest and importance to geographers and a phenomenon Which may exist in the absence of any severe threat or any defense of place.

  • MAKING the SCENE: Yorkville and Hip Toronto, 1960-1970 by Stuart
    MAKING THE SCENE: Yorkville and Hip Toronto, 1960-1970 by Stuart Robert Henderson A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada October, 2007 Copyright © Stuart Robert Henderson, 2007 Abstract For a short period during the 1960s Toronto’s Yorkville district was found at the centre of Canada’s youthful bohemian scene. Students, artists, hippies, greasers, bikers, and “weekenders” congregated in and around the district, enjoying the live music and theatre in its many coffee houses, its low-rent housing in overcrowded Victorian walk- ups, and its perceived saturation with anti-establishmentarian energy. For a period of roughly ten years, Yorkville served as a crossroads for Torontonian (and even English Canadian) youth, as a venue for experimentation with alternative lifestyles and beliefs, and an apparent refuge from the dominant culture and the stifling expectations it had placed upon them. Indeed, by 1964 every young Torontonian (and many young Canadians) likely knew that social rebellion and Yorkville went together as fingers interlaced. Making the Scene unpacks the complicated history of this fraught community, examining the various meanings represented by this alternative scene in an anxious 1960s. Throughout, this dissertation emphasizes the relationship between power, authenticity and identity on the figurative stage for identity performance that was Yorkville. ii Acknowledgements Making the Scene is successful by large measure as a result of the collaborative efforts of my supervisors Karen Dubinsky and Ian McKay, whose respective guidance and collective wisdom has saved me from myself on more than one occasion.

  • Chapter 7. Sense of Control
    CHAPTER 7 SENSE OF CONTROL i. Analysis of Sense of Control: a. Introduction: Another fundamental component of sense of place is sense of control: that is, the feeling that one's relationship with the part- icular place contributes to one's sense of independence, competence and self-sufficiency. In this situation, people are engaged in an active, creative relationship with their environment, rather than a passive, dependent, or even negative relationship, which, far from l contributing to their sense of control, may detract from it. This definition is not meant to imply that life is necessarily easy in situations where people experience a sense of control. As Boyce Richardson makes clear throughout Strangers Devour the Land, the Cree hunter who survives in the bush does not lead an easy life; but his intimate knowledge of the environment, the development of the skills necessary for survival and his ability to overcome hardships 1 For example, in cases where people do not share in making dec- isions about how the environment is designed or used (e.g., rental housing) or where they are unable to do things that they would like to do (e.g., they would like to paint their apartment, but management prohibits it; they would like to make noise, but the walls between neighbours are too thin; they would like some privacy, but there is no place to find it). The extensive environment and behaviour liter­ ature is full of such examples. - 312 - and dangers, all contribute to his sense of self-esteem, competence, and freedom--feelings which are frequently absent when he is in the white man's world, where his bush skills are neither appropriate nor valued.

  • Eidelman-Phd Dissertation-Landlocked Politics
    LANDLOCKED: POLITICS, PROPERTY, AND THE TORONTO WATERFRONT, 1960-2000 by Gabriel Ezekiel Eidelman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Gabriel Eidelman 2013 Landlocked: Politics, Property, and the Toronto Waterfront, 1960-2000 Gabriel Eidelman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Dozens of major cities around the world have launched large-scale waterfront redevelopment projects over the past fifty years. Absent from this list of noteworthy achievements, however, is Toronto, a case of grand ambitions gone horribly awry. Despite three extensive revitalization plans in the second half of the 20th century, Toronto’s central waterfront, an area roughly double the city’s central business district, has remained mired in political gridlock for decades. The purpose of this dissertation is to explain why this came to pass. Informed by extensive archival and interview research, as well as geospatial data analyzed using Geographic Information Systems software, the thesis demonstrates that above and beyond political challenges typical of any major urban redevelopment project, in Toronto, issues of land ownership — specifically, public land ownership — were pivotal in defining the scope and pace of waterfront planning and implementation. Few, if any, waterfront redevelopment projects around the world have been attempted amidst the same degree of public land ownership and jurisdictional fragmentation as that which plagued implementation efforts in Toronto. From 1961-1998, no less than 81% of all land in the central waterfront was owned by one public body or another, dispersed across a patchwork of public agencies, corporations, and special purpose authorities nestled within multiple levels of government.
