The idea of a primary place: "Environmental psychologists have quantified links between exposure to natural environments in childhood and environmental preferences later in life.[4] Learning about surrounding environments during childhood is strongly influenced by the direct experience of playing, as well as through the role of family, culture, and community.[5] The special bond which develops between children and their childhood environments has been called a ‘primal landscape’ by human geographers.[6] This childhood landscape forms part of people’s identity and constitutes a key point of comparison for considering subsequent places later in life. As people move around as adults, they tend to consider new places in relation to this baseline landscape experienced during childhood”
