Document Summary
A sense of place involves a psychological bond between people and their location. These stem from the physical landscape of the area, human activities, and institutional bodies. It recognizes that collective experiences have led to shared aspirations, concerns, goals, and values. Strong sense of place in canada are particularly evident in atlantic canada and the prairies. Most population was in eastern when first became a country. This model describes interaction among regions and is evident in canada. It is also referred to as the heartland/hinterland model. It is based on a theory that capitalist economics results in regionally uneven development. This is a concept where both parts are dependent on each other but the core (industrial heartland) dominates the economic relationship with its periphery (resource hinterland). In canada, the core is a considered to be southern ontario and southern quebec. All other areas in the country make up the periphery.
