Résumé en anglais

The spirit or spirituality of place or space (hereinafter “the spirit of place”) can exist in a fixed or static fashion at the place; on the other hand, as part of people’sinspiration, memory, or impression, it can move with the people who are inspired by, keep memory of, or impressed by the place. It can even transcend time and space, by being transplanted and transmitted by people, resulting in a new culture (tangible or intangible) in another space. When established, the chai nof transmission of the spirit of place continues further over time and space. In other words, the spirit of place can be said to be a mother to cultural heritage or a creator of diverse culture over time and space. This paper introduces several examples to explain the above with the aim of demonstrating the concept and diverse values of the spirit of place or space.
