Refrigerator is written all over what seems to be someone's living space. a home is much more than a physical dwelling, it is also an important commodity to be traded and it represents a key factor in shaping identity and place of people and therefore housing is an important determinant of personal security, comfort wealth and status. some mind boggling questions are how do people choose where to live and what are the constraints on their choices? and which groups are able to manipulate the geography of a place and to whose advantage. (Hall 2012) there are many factors influencing where people live and their access to housing options. these options are quite variable and that inequalities exist in access to housing. this may or may not be the individual permanent dwelling place but he was able to construct a place out of cardboard box for his own relaxation. what struck me was that this is a good way of recycling material and to top it off he had a waterproof roof made out of plastic material. to some people this may not be the ideal living space to others it may be a temporary place to relax.
Where was this photo taken and how is this space being use? It's interesting to see a bamboo shelf in the front with the backpack etc -- can you tell us more?
