Document Summary
Much as a place are the products of people and people"s emotions and behavior , so too can places affect people"s emotions and behaviour. Topophilia and topophobia are coupled with places that are: real, contrived, visited, not visited. Real attributes are those a place generates based on precedent e. g. you live in a village and believe it is wholesome and good. Perceived attributes are based on your belief that a particular type of place would be good e. g while never having lived in a village you believe the life would be good and wholesome one. Contrived attributes occur when beliefs are manipulated to create a sense of place about somewhere, either through marketing and or actual creation of place. Real, perceived and contrived attributes are premised on experiences and/or expectations. Experiences are your personal record of attributes that generate positive or negative feelings about a place or type of place.
