“…Because of this vital role in survival, people have formed models of houses with functions beyond survival, as houses can fulfill an belonging need by making it a home (e.g., Dovey, 1985;Fullilove, 1996), or, as attachment theory would have it, a "safe haven" (Manzo, 2003;Moore, 2000).…”

“…A house's warmth could be an important constitutive feature in holding communal feelings towards it -or what environmental psychology and architecture suggests to be the attachment towards the home (for an overview, see Manzo, 2003, andMoore, 2000). This may explain why Dovey (1985) proposes the bond with our home to be an emotional relationship (or a "mutual caretaking bond", Fullilove, 1996Fullilove, , p. 1516, a relationship that results in an internal working model of that place (Proshansky et al, 1983) letting the home be a center of security (Dovey, 1985, see also Chawla, 1992and Oswald & Wahl, 2005 providing comfort, safety, and belonging (Manzo, 2003).…”

House brokers typically intuit that any type of warmth cause people to buy houses more frequently. Is this empirical reality? The authors investigated this through people's attachment towards advertised houses. A wealth of research has now linked thermoregulation to relationships (cf. IJzerman et al., 2015), and here the authors purport that this extends to people's relationships with house as a more novel solution to an ancient problem: Shielding from the cold. The present package tests a preregistered idea that colder temperatures increase people's need to affiliate and, in turn, increase people's estimations of how homely a house is (measured through communality). The hypotheses of the first two studies were partly right:The authors only found that actual lower temperatures (not motivation and through a cup and outside temperature) induced people to find a house more communal, predicted by their need to affiliate. Importantly, this even predicts whether people find the house more attractive, and increases their willingness to pay for the house (Studies 1 and Study 2). The third study did not pan out as predicted, but still affected people's need to affiliate. The authors reason that this was caused by a methodological shortcoming (namely not directly being affected by temperature). The present work provides novel insights into how a house becomes a home.Keywords: grounded cognition, social thermoregulation, need for affiliation, home, communality, attachment Homely Thermoregulation: How Physical Coldness Makes an Advertised House a HomeThroughout history, humans have been searching and creating spatial demarcationsfor example alcoves, grottos, huts, and eventually houses -keeping its members safe not only from predation, but also warm under temperatures endangering survival. Because of this vital role in survival, people have formed models of houses with functions beyond survival, as houses can fulfill an belonging need by making it a home (e.g., Dovey, 1985;Fullilove, 1996), or, as attachment theory would have it, a "safe haven" (Manzo, 2003;Moore, 2000).Here, we propose that the cognitive mechanisms framing those spatial demarcations as "home" are derived from the same physiological mechanisms that originally helped us to be shielded from the cold through other people.Amongst early humans and other mammals, conspecifics helped in keeping us warm in order to decrease the metaboblic costs of a cold environment (cf. IJzerman and colleagues, 2015). But as effective as relationships may be in relating to others, a house may well have (partly) replaced those socially borne functions, in the same way as lower temperatures sparks attachment to other people and can be fulfilled through renting romance movies (Hong & Sun, 2012) or feeling nostalgic (Zhou et al., 2012). We will explicate and empirically validate how houses offer a socially supportive function -fulfilling the "need to affiliate" through "feeling at home" -all of it fulfilling thermoregulatory needs. Finally, we think that the link between tem...

“…Le territoire du chez-soi est donc un espace géographique non défini et fluide qui s'étend au-delà du logement, se liant aux espaces environnants (Madanipour, 2003;Bélanger, 2012). Le territoire du chez-soi (comme le chez-soi) peut également exister en relation avec les activités quotidiennes, qui permettent à l'individu de s'approprier l'espace (De Certeau et al, 1994;Mallet, 2004;Moore, 2000;Wise, 2009). L'appropriation peut être physique ou symbolique, permanente ou temporaire, et parfois source de conflits.…”

Montréal, ville de festivals. La construction d’une image de marque « en dur » à Montréal, par l’altération de ses caractéristiques physiques afin de créer une expérience unique, s’est matérialisée dans le projet de (re) développement du Quartier des spectacles. Localisé dans le quartier Faubourg Saint-Laurent, le projet de (re) développement, qui comprend différentes interventions concentrées sur une aire de 1 km2, semble avoir favorisé une nouvelle dynamique dans le quartier. En plus des nouveaux investissements dans les activités commerciales et de loisirs répondant notamment aux besoins des nombreux touristes et visiteurs, s’ajoute un regain d’intérêt pour les quartiers centraux montréalais comme milieu de vie. On y assiste donc, depuis quelques années, à des transformations physiques et sociales importantes. Les impacts de ce projet de construction d’un territoire spectaculaire sur les résidents de longue date sont difficiles à évaluer. S’intéressant à la complexité des expériences des résidents vivant au quotidien les impacts du projet de (re) développement du Quartier des spectacles, cette étude utilise une approche phénoménologique qui explore l’expérience d’habiter dans ou autour du Quartier des spectacles, à partir d’entretiens en profondeur et ouverts auprès de trois résidents. Ces discussions ont permis l’identification de thèmes majeurs de leur expérience d’habiter dans ou autour du Quartier des spectacles tels que l’attachement, eux/ils, changement/défis. L’expérience du Quartier des spectacles en lui-même est multidimensionnelle : site physique, image, festivals, gens et catalyseur de changement. Mais l’expérience des résidents de longue date met en doute le Quartier des spectacles comme environnement résidentiel.Montreal, city of festivals. The hard-branding construction in Montreal, i.e. the alteration of its physical characteristics with the objective of creating a unique experience, was realized through the (re) development project of the Quartier des spectacles. Located in the Faubourg Saint-Laurent neighbourhood, the (re) development project, which embodies multiple interventions within a 1 km2 area, seems to have created a new investment dynamic in the neighbourhood. In addition to commercial and leisure activities that cater to tourists and visitors, local investment has attempted to re-invigorate the image of this downtown neighbourhood as a desired residential environment. Montreal’s central neighbourhood is witnessing important physical and social transformations. The impact of (re) development projects on long-term residents is difficult to establish and evaluate. Interested primarily in the complexity of the experience of residents’ daily life in and around the Quartier des spectacles (re) development project, this study uses a phenomenological approach, by means of in-depth interviews with long-time residents. Analysis identified three major themes related to their experience: attachment, they/them, and change/challenges. The experience of the Quartier des spectacles is multidimension...

“…In fact, the persistence of home as archetype is common although there is evidence that home is an extremely yielding concept. Moore (2000) added that home is frequently used as a spatial metaphor for relationships to a variety of places. "Being at home is the usually unnoticed, taken-for-granted situation of being comfortable in, and familiar with, the everyday world in which one lives, and outside of which one is visiting" (Manzo 2003, p. 49).…”

“…Although the concept of home has often been understood literally, this does not correctly show the nature of everyone's place experience (Moore 2000). According to Manzo (2003), the notion of home is subjective and fluid across cultures, just as the meaning of place is a social construction and has a dialectic nature.…”
