Este artigo busca esclarecer o conceito fenomenológico de mundo da vida por meio dos temas geográficos lugar, experiência de lugar e sentido de lugar. De modo mais simples, mundo da vida se refere à experiências consideradas, por pessoas ou grupos, como dadas a priori e, portanto, não visadas. Um objetivo da pesquisa fenomenológica é examinar o mundo da vida diretamente e, com isso, identificar e esclarecer aspectos da vida humana não visados. Então, eles podem ser entendidos de modo teórico e prático. Este trabalho discute alguns princípios da fenomenologia e, então, aponta capitulações de lugar para esclarecer alguns aspectos sociais, ambientais e geográficos do mundo da vida. Para concluir essa discussão, o artigo considera a evidência descritiva da escritora britânica Penelope Lively e sua obra Spiderweb, um romance de 1990 que descreve as motivações de um estrangeiro para habitar um lugar – uma vila fictícia dos dias atuais no Sudoeste Britânico do Condado de Somerset.

This article examines the theories of community and urban design proposed by architect Christopher Alexander and political thinker Daniel Kemmis. I argue that Kemmis, in his vision of the good city, sees urban healing fostered largely through civil discourse among citizens and politicians. In contrast, Alexander argues that, before any such discourse can begin, there must first be a basic understanding as to what environmental wholeness is and how it can be strengthened or stymied by qualities of physical design. I argue that, ultimately, both aspects of place making, material and communal, must be considered and carried out, though I concur with Alexander that a knowledge of how the physical city grounds the place making must found the civil discourse that follows. ; Publisher's Version
