Definition

  • Home is a concept that refers both to a specific space, such as a dwelling or one's country, and to a sense of belonging—being “at home.” It is an idea that demonstrates the strong relationships between spaces, places, and emotions. Geographers have been interested in a range of aspects of home, including the house as home, material cultures of home, homelessness, home as a site of gendered relations, home and national identity, and the meanings of “home” to different groups.
