This document discusses cultural space and urban place. It defines cultural space as a space or community with its own culture, whether physical like a home or metaphorical like the internet. Factors that influence cultural space include traveling, migration, religion, food, and social networks. The document also defines urban areas as densely populated places surrounded by cities that have non-agricultural jobs. Urban areas differ from rural areas in population density, land use, and development. Types of urban areas discussed include towns, the growth of suburbs, and smart growth communities.

4. DEFINITION OF CULTURAL SPACE
Cultural space is a space
or community which has its
own culture.
Cultural space is the
configuration of
communication that
constructs meanings of
various place

5. As Martin and Nakayama
stated, the cultural space
can be physical such as
home, (the place where
you grew up), or
metaphorical such as
internet. This home is
also defined by its location
such as neighborhood, city,
region and country and the
relationship you have with
this home .
Space is something that
varies greatly from culture
to culture. Depending on
where you live, the amount
of space or distance that is
acceptable in social
situations can be very
different.

6. Cultural space
home neighborhood regionalism
HOME: cultural space influences
our mindset about other ang
ourselves. The earliest cultural
space we encounter is home.
Home is not only the bulding or
the address, but can also varied
to the city, region, and nations
NEIGHBORHOOD: a
living area defined by
its own cultural space.
Neighborhood is
prejudice and
discrimination
REGIONALISM:
loyalty to some area
that holds cultural
meaning.
Three significant of cultural space:

7. POST-MODERN CULTURAL SPACE
• Are places that are defined by
cultural practices-languages
spoken, identities enacted, rituals
performed-and they often change
as new people move in and out of
these spaces.
According to Martin
& Nakayama

8. FACTORS THAT CHANGING CULTURAL SPACE
CHANGING
CULTURAL SPACE
Traveling Migration
TRAVELING: traveling frequently viewed
simply a leisure activity, but it is more
than that. Traveling changes cultural
space in the way that often transforms
the traveler. Changing cultural space is
not always easy to do.
MIGRATION: people also change
cultural space through migration
Migration involves a different kind
of change in cultural space than
traveling. The unfamiliar language
and customs are the major problem
of changing cultural spaces.

9. FACTORS THAT CREATE THE CULTURAL
SPACES
Kama Trudgen states the other factors that
create the cultural spaces are religion
practices, food, social networks such as
schools, hospitals.
These factors create your identity. The combination of
these factors and how are they used create specific
cultural spaces which is unique and has invisible
boundary. But when someone moves from one place to
another, these invisible boundaries are interrupted and
we face intercultural transitions. The intercultural
transitions are not usually easy and they create
misunderstanding, and cultural shocks and they require
time to adopt through intercultural communications and
understanding.

10. DIFFERENT ZONES OR RANGES OF DISTANCE IN
OUR SOCIAL SPACE
• Intimate distance would be reserved for people
we consider to be the closest to us; a child, a
family member, a dear friend or lover. This
range of space is intimate in nature from
actually touching to about 18 inches away
intimate
• When we are conversing with work associates,
casual acquaintances or friends we are not as
close to it usually takes place at a personal
distance, that being an arm length away (or
beyond 18 inches) to about 4 feet.
personal

11. • Social distance encompasses an area
beyond 4 feet to about 8 feet and is
usually the distance that is reserved for
strangers or new acquaintances.
social
• Public distance would encompass
anything greater than 8 feet away; think
lecture hall, theaters or other places
that are assigned to large audiences
public

12. Examples of Cultural Space
Using the post-modern cultural spaces concept, that whenever there
are local and international students together, the language used in the
conversation is Standard English. This shows there is a shift of
language when there is a new member in the group. This is to create a
sense of belonging and comfortableness. Sometimes they discuss
about assignment and studies thus this in a way shows the referential
aspect in the conversation. In another situation, some international
students/ could learn the language the locals speak and hence this
makes this to have the aspect of affective when they are talking about
topics such as gossips, life and opposite gender using the local
language.

15. DEFINITION
URBAN AREA are created when
a large group of people
together to live in a certain
area. most of the time they are
created for benefical reasons.
Urban area in population
censuses a city area considered
as the inner city plus built-up
environs, irrespective of local
body administrative
boundaries.
Urban areas are very
developed, meaning there is a
density of human structures
such as houses, commercial
buildings, roads, bridges, and
railways.
An urban area is the region
surrounding a city. Most
inhabitants of urban areas have
nonagricultural jobs.
URBAN
PLACE/URBAN
AREA

16. "Urban area" can refer to towns, cities, and suburbs. An
urban area includes the city itself, as well as the surrounding
areas.
Many urban areas are called metropolitan areas, or "greater,"
as in Greater New York or Greater London.
When two or more metropolitan areas grow until they
combine, the result may be known as a megalopolis. In the
United States, the urban area of Boston, Massachusetts,
eventually spread as far south as Washington, D.C., creating
the megalopolis of BosWash, or the Northeast Corridor.

17. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN URBAN AREA
AND RURAL AREA
Rural areas are the opposite of urban
areas. Rural areas, often called "the
country," have low population density
and large amounts of undeveloped land.

18. URBAN AREA
• Urban settlements are defined by their advanced civic
amenities, opportunities for education, facilities for
transport, business and social interaction and overall
better standard of living. Socio cultural statistics are
usually based on an urban population
RURAL AREA
• While rural settlements are based more on natural
resources and events, the urban population receives the
benefits of man’s advancements in the areas of science
and technology and is not nature-dependent for its day to
day functions.

19. URBAN AREA
• Urban areas are also classified according to land use and
density of population, but this can vary from developed
countries to developing countries.
RURAL AREA
• Rural areas do not have pollution or traffic problems that
based regular urban areas. Many government, though
focusing on the development of rural areas, have also
tried to protect these areas as preservation of their
country’s basic culture and traditions.

20. TYPES OF URBAN AREA/URBAN
PLACE
Towns
Growth of
Suburbs
Smart
Growth

21. One type of urban area is a town. A town is
generally larger than a village, but smaller than a
city. Some geographers further define a town as
having 2,500 to 20,000 residents.
Towns usually have local self-government, and
they may grow around specialized economic
activities, such as mining or railroading.
Towns

22. Growth of
Suburbs
Suburbs are smaller urban areas that surround cities. Most suburbs are less
densely populated than cities. They serve as the residential area for much of
the citys work force. The suburbs are made up of mostly single-family
homes, stores, and services.
Many city residents move to suburbs, a situation known as suburban
migration. Homes in suburbs are usually larger than homes in cities, and
suburbs usually have more parks and open spaces. Residents may move to
escape the traffic, noise, or to enjoy a larger residence.

23. Smart
Growth
Recently, experts have tried to curb the spread of suburban sprawl, or at least
create urban areas that are developed more purposefully. This is known as "smart
growth." City planners create communities that are designed for more walking and
less dependency on cars. Some developers recover old communities in downtown
urban areas, rather than develop the next piece of farmland or wilderness.
Other smart-growth communities are creating new types of development. Some
have large amounts of undeveloped "green space," organic farms, and lakes.
Urban areas typically drain the water from rain and snow, which cannot collect in
the paved-over ground. Rather than use drainage pipes and ditches, smart-growth
communities create wetlands designed to filter storm runoff.

24. example: being a mining town. The workers come to the town to work
the mines then other people come to provide services for these miners
and their families thus creating their own jobs. Soon goverments will
be created brining in more jobs. Together these people create urban
environments where people work in multiple types of jobs and
services that help each other.
Examples of Urban Place

25. Conclusion

26. Cultural space is a space or community which has its own culture.
It can be physical such as home, (the place where you grew up), or metaphorical such as
internet. This home is also defined by its location such as neighborhood, city, region and country
and the relationship you have with this home .
Urban area is the region surrounding a city. It can refer to towns, cities, and suburbs.
An urban area includes the city itself, as well as the surrounding areas.
