Resumen:
Taking into account that there are millions of places and thousands of millions of perceptions and thoughts about them, how can we establish a method to define places? In this ENTI Conference in Salerno we present a proposal oriented towards the definition of places anywhere in the world according to five moments or instances, designed to be useful in a large diversity of interventions and applied research projects.Stlocus means in old Latin “where somebody or something is placed”, locus in Latin means place: whereas the first relates to addresses, the second one refers to the home; this sense of belonging, of articulation between something and somebody is the reason that led us to choose this name for the method. The place is understood a priori as a pattern of territorial occupation and appropriation in the micro and meso scales: a center, a neighborhood, a farming community, an urban interstice, an industrial park, large equipment, a suburb undergoing consolidation processes, a degraded space, a protected space and many more.
