Abstract
Based on the results of the author’s research conducted in 2014-2016 with the participation of the inhabitants of two urban enclaves of poverty in Poland, the article focuses on mobility and various spatial attitudes which have been identified on the basis of the participants’ drawings and sketch maps related to their place of residence: the yard, the nearest neighbourhood and the city. When constructing the model of attitudes, the author was inspired by Stomma’s ethnological description of world and anti-world, and the levels of existential space distinguished by Norberg-Schulz. The model includes: imaginations and feelings towards specified spaces, by some seen as their own and tamed (orbis interior), while by others as foreign and wild (orbis exterior); and spatial mobility, determined on the basis of spatial orientation (implosive, explosive) and spatial behaviour of the subjects (exploratory, escapist, inertial). A typology of spatial attitudes is proposed based on these variables.
