home, the understanding of the term “house” or “residence” is given in order to clarify the differences between a home and a house. The house or residence is a physical structure, an object which is the part of the environment (Dovey, 1985). Dovey (1985), claims that “…home is best conceived of as a kind of relationship between people and their environment. It is an emotionally based and meaningful relationship between dwellers and their dwelling places” (p. 34). Lawrence (1987) states that, “…one purpose of the design of each house is to distinguish between public and private domain” (p. 155). On the other hand, he (1987) defines home as a complex physical entity to which cultural, demographic, and psychological meanings are attached. Porteous (1976) defines home as “a territorial core” and “…the space-group-time entity in which individuals spend the greater part of their lives. It is a preferred space, and it provides a fixed point of reference around which the individual may personally structure his or her spatial reality” (p. 390). Benjamin (1995) defines home as; ...spatially localized, temporarily defined, significant, and autonomous physical frame and conceptual system for the ordering, transformation, and interpretation of the physical and abstract aspects of domestic daily life at several simultaneous spatio- temporal scales, normally activated by the connection to a person or community, such as a nuclear family (p. 299). 2
Benjamin (1995) states that the concept of home gathers the physical and mental environment with the conceptual space of domestic family life. Rybczynski (1987) claims that the dwelling stays as a machine, not as a home unless the idea of comfort which is the fundamental notion of the domestic well being is not recognized. Based on “the Onion Theory of Comfort”, Rybczynski (1987) claims that the notion of comfort developed historically without missing the past meanings and “…each new meaning added a layer to the previous meanings, which were preserved beneath. At any particular time, comfort consists of all layers, not only the most recent” (p. 231). When describing the whole idea, separating those layers makes the whole concept disappear. It is claimed that although the concept of home can be described by its parts and its whole, it is possible to miss the whole sight (Moore, 2000). The philosophical and phenomenological context of the home is examined by the studies that question the relationship between place and dwelling. For example, Bachelard (1969) claims that “… it is not enough to consider the house as an “object” on which we can make our judgments and daydreams react” (p. 3), “…our house is our corner of the world” (p. 4). As a result, more “spiritual and existential” aspects of the concept of home are examined in a “conceptual and symbolic approach” (p. 209). Those studies inspired psychologists to consider the idea of place and home. Since those studies are conducted by environmental psychologists, they are unable to cite and use the symbolic and conceptual approaches in a critical way (Moore, 2000). 3
