Etude des processus par lesquels le lieu devient le chez soi (le home) et les caractéristiques qui en découlent, le distinguant des autres lieux et par extension des autres régions. Dans les sociétés occidentales, l'affaiblissement de sentiment
d'appartenance au lieu et aux groupes sociaux semblent réduire le home à une simple accumulation d'habitudes de mode de vie. Les effets de la mondialisation entraînent un repli sur soi et un attachement à un système de valeurs basé sur l'intimité. Il y a donc
Pour répondre à la curiosité d'un public cultivé, la géographie, d'un point de vue humaniste pourrait être définie comme le home du peuple, mot-clé qui unit toutes les branches et subdivisions de cette discipline. Le home pris dans sa plus large
acception implique une signification physique, psychologique, morale, à la fois milieu naturel et environnement spécifique, contrainte et liberté (dans un lieu, une localisation, un espace). - (CMT)

Second home mobility in Finland : patterns, practices and relations of leisure oriented mobile lifestyle
The paper focuses on leisure oriented mobile lifestyle between urban home and rural second home Finland. Helsinki metropolitan dwellers have the longest trips to second homes which is explained not merely by environ-mental but by historical
, societal and social reasons as well. Second home related social mobility practices are dependent on cottage owners’ and users’ life phase and standard of second homes. Retiring baby boom generation is the largest and most active cottager group and after
retirement the use of second homes in¬creases remarkably. The vast majority of second home owners and users travel the cottage trips by private cars and wish to spend at least as much time at rural second home as present.

Single people’s geographies of home : intimacy and friendship beyond ‘the family’
This paper explores some of the contested meanings of ‘home’ for those who are single; and examine how single people have created new forms of home and new spaces of at-homeness with those with whom they are not biologically (or romantically
) related. It concludes by asking how we might help foster, build, and create new forms of dwelling that might better match single people’s imaginings and desires for a home outside of heteronormative coupledom. Ultimately the paper argues that the exclusion

improvements and investments are observed over ten years, mostly financed out of income and savings, although an increasing trend to seek loans from the formal market. Correlation analysis explores how self-help and self-managed dwelling environments
Commuting choices and residential built environments in Sweden, 1990–2010 : a multilevel analysis
This article uses multilevel models based on official register data covering the total Swedish working population to explore how home–work distance varied among workers and across residential areas between 1990 and 2010. The results indicate growing
variation in home–work distance for workers living in the same residential neighborhoods and that the significance of residential location for the home–work distance decreased throughout the studied period. The results may suggest that there is less scope
now than in the early 1990s for shaping commuting behavior by altering the built environment in Sweden.
