Over her thirty-year study of the concept of territory, Jean
Gottmann has seen its significance evolve in a wide variety of ways
throughout the world. Factors that influence the attitude of people
toward their territory involve studies of geography, politics, and
economics of a region. The importance of this entity has been
defined and redefined differently by all levels of society, whether
in the context of political boundaries, military use, jurisdiction
and ownership, or topography characteristics. At its essence, an
understanding of all aspects of territory help paint a clear
picture of how individuals develop a relationship between their
communities and their habitats, a subject that has been little
explored until now. The elusive nature of the concept of territory
is broken down here, and the term's significance reassessed. In his
analysis of Western concepts and history, Gottmann closely examines
the concept of territory as a psychosomatic device, and comments on
how its evolution is similar to basic human striving for security,
opportunity, and happiness.
