Sociotope

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under sociotope ( Latin socius , Community ' , Greek τόπος topos , German , place' ) refers to the habitat of a group or a habitat that promotes the development of a group. In sociotopes there is a close connection between the community and the space they inhabit. However, the term is sometimes used - contrary to the meaning of the word - to denote a social milieu or a subculture without reference to a fixed spatial relationship. It was probably coined in 1982 by Michael Rutschky . Hasso Spode used the term in 1994 when analyzing the socio-cultural composition of the Berlin district of Kreuzberg . In architecture and urban planning, it is used as a term for various urban social settings (spatially fixable milieus).

Tino Bargel and others used the term to denote the social environmental factors in the process of child socialization.
