Territory

The concept of territory always begins with the concept of space. But beyond space, territory is ultimately the result of how actors take ownership of a given space, with their own vision of themselves and their history. As such, territory is not just a space, but more importantly, a social creation. While some people see territory as something to be exploited, dis-possessed, and replaced, others see it as their ‘home’, some-thing that connects a space to their roots, culture, and sense of being.
