People make attachments to places that are critical to their well-being or distress. An individual’s sense of place is both a biological response to the surrounding physical environment and a cultural creation, as geographer Yi-Fu Tuan has argued.1 From childhood, humans come to know places through engaging all ve senses, sight as well as sound, smell, taste, and touch. Extensive research on perception shows the simultaneous engagement of several senses in orientation and way nding. Children show an interest in landmarks at three or earlier and by age ve or six can read aerial maps with great accuracy and con dence, illustrating the human ability to perceive and remember the landscape
