Space

• An empty area! "the architect left space in front
  of the building" "they stopped at an open space
  in the jungle" "the space between his teeth"

3

• An inhabited, shared space
• People live in a territory (inhabit a territory).
• Diversity exists in a territory.
• In other words, we are not all the same
• Ex Age, sex, skin color, religion, sexual
  orientation, language, jobs, financial status
  (rich vs. Poor) etc.

  industries, businesses, houses and farming).

  stations.

• Debating and decision-making (city hall)
• Activities to its seniors and youth (community
  centres).

25

• b) Natural disaster can cause severe damage to
  communities (ex tornado destroyed Greensburg
  Kansas) .

26

• c) Inventions may change the landscape (roads
  allow motor vehicles to travel).

27
Landscapes Natural vs. Man-made
28

• Many different types of landscapes exist.
• Either natural or man-made
• Outdated and dangerous landscapes renovated or
  rebuilt (Ex Turcot Interchange).

Common issues in a territory
30

• We do not always agree with decisions made by
  community leaders.
• Why? Most of us have different ideas on how
  shared space should be used.
• Ex Target wants to build a new store over an
  empty field. Should the company be allowed to do
  so?

31

• An environmentalist will most likely disagree
  because it would mean destroying green space.
• The C.E.O. (Chief Executive Officer) of Target
  would push to open a new store because it means
  more profit for the company.

32

• An economist will agree because opening up a new
  Target will create new jobs (less unemployment).

33

• Contractor and construction crew that was given
  the contract to build the store will be thrilled
  because they will be making money.

34

• Local resident against its construction
• Noise pollution
• Traffic
• Loss of green space

35

• Local resident in favour of its construction
• Job creation
• Save on gas due to proximity (close by) of store
• Convenient
• Convenience- Anything that saves or simplifies
  work anything that is intended to save time,
  energy etc.

36

• Different points of view often lead to
  disagreements.
• These conflicts become the focus of territorial
  issues.

37
The 6 issues territories face

• 1. Housing (buying or renting a place to live)
• People with low income (poor) have difficulty
  finding affordable apartments especially in
  downtown areas.

38

• 2. Protecting farms
• Cities are constantly expanding and taking up
  more and more space, encroaching (intruding,
  advancing on) on farmland. THIS IS CALLED URBAN
  SPRAWL.

39

• 3. Transportation (causes traffic)
• Finding ways to reduce traffic is a challenge in
  cities.
• We encourage commuters to use public transit (ex
  buses) and to carpool (instead of driving to
  work alone).

40

• 4. Creating a balance between visiting a national
  park and protecting it
• Visitors go to a national park to admire nature.
• Allowing too many tourists at once can harm the
  environment.

41

• 5. Ensuring long-term development of the forest
• This involves the challenge of cutting down trees
  while still finding a way to protect the forest
  (replanting, establishing quotas etc.)

42

• 6. Sharing and developing a territory
• Aboriginal people want more control over economic
  activities in their territory.
