What occurs when we move from place to place? And what happens if the distance between places is not within the neighbourhood but on each side of the world? With the support of transportation and communication technology, more and more people are having a new kind of lifestyle, which is influenced by mobility and homogenisation.

Flying across the continent turns to be as easy as hop in and hop out of a local bus service and the foreign countries became like the downtown shopping street. International hotels, franchise restaurants, chain stores, motorways and airports are showing no different from one corner of the world to the others. These locations are not really a ‘place’ because they lack of identity and disconnect from surrounding area or location, which lessens a sense of place and creates a meaningless space instead.

While most of the terms of place are related to space, some examples of positive non-place reflect that a sense of place could be obtained differently— a concept of place is implicated with psychological or interaction rather than merely physical. The interrelations between place and persons are mutual as they both influence each other, for that reason, place cannot exist without people. According to this subjective quality of place, merely an interaction between human is possible to form a place without space.
