“…Among such examples where the place does not exist are places idealized or even constructed through media (Avraham, 2000;Avraham & Ketter, 2008;Gold & Ward, 1994;Morgan et al, 2011) and imaginary places, such as utopian and imagined cities (Harvey, 2000, pp. 168ff;Erskine, 1960), places in dreams (Iosifescu Enescu & Hurni, 2018;Iosifescu Enescu et al, 2020), and places in virtual reality (Relph, 2007).…”

The reasons for representing places are manifold, and so are the ways in which they are represented. Travel guides, music, and paintings give an impression of often distant places, and scientific texts seek to represent places and their context objectively. By going beyond the existing semantic discourse on representations and focussing on places more specifically, this article seeks a better understanding of the representations of places. First, naturally occurring representations are discussed as the result of the patterns that are formed by place-making and the very being of a place, such as archaeological finds and traditions. Subsequently, I argue that many of the natural as well as non-natural representations can be understood as ‘representation-as’ in Goodman’s and Elgin’s sense, because they represent places as part of a genre, for example, as a tourist attraction or a retreat. This understanding facilitates the conceptualization of individual representations and their placement in the overall context, which in turn helps laying the foundation for a conceptual framework for ‘platial’ information.

“…For instance, Vasardani and Winter (2016) and Vasardani et al (2016) have explored how previous works of Christopher Alexander can be utilized to understand which qualities of a place are specific to it. Besides the description of existing places, Iosifescu Enescu and Hurni (2018) and Iosifescu Enescu et al (2020) have focussed on the qualities places can have in dreams.…”

“…Two geometries described by different sets of coordinates are usually interpreted as different geometries. 13 In addition, it can even be argued that there are places without any real geometrical extent, for example, in the context of books, film, computer games, or dreams (Iosifescu Enescu and Hurni, 2018; Iosifescu Enescu et al, 2020; Tateosian et al, 2020) as well as related to mediated and virtual geographies.…”

Place can hardly be formally captured at the moment, as it is unclear how to represent places and draw conclusions by technological means. GIScience scholars hence use the term ‘Place’ even when they presume a paradigm similar to the one assumed for Geometrical Space, largely ignoring the richness of the geographical Place concept. This article reviews the ongoing debate and outlines directions of how to extend it much beyond the currently assumed spatial paradigm. The agenda laid out in this article aims to set a frame of reference for and stimulate future developments towards a Platial Information Science.
