Abstract

How doeas a homeless form a home? Revealed homelessness, unlike hidden and potential, is different because it is associated with occurrence in public spaces, such as streets, parks, benches or near bus a train stations. This apparantness strikes us on our sensory organs, especially in the urban environment.

The goal of the presentation is to show, based on empirical material and a qualitative research, how mutual bargaining of social positions works and how to create a privatized space in the homeless enviroment.
