The text explores the significance of spatial dimensions in the sociology of life courses, emphasizing the often-overlooked role of space throughout different life stages. It examines social dimensions of space and personal spatial experiences during childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. The analysis highlights how spatial experiences contribute to life continuity and employs retrospective life course analyses as a methodological approach. Additionally, it delves into the organization of living spaces for urban children, discussing whether their environments promote unity or isolation. It categorizes spatial organization patterns, including active and passive isolation, institutional enclosure, and social marginalization. The relationship between spatial organization and social integration is also examined, differentiating between integration through spatial uniformity and temporal isolation. The text further addresses the social consequences of segregation among older adults in urban settings, outlining the extent and development of this issue, along with its social implications and potential explanations. Lastly, it discusses the experiences and spatial challenges faced by the homeless, framing their lack of stable housing as a form of poverty and exploring the dynamics of their social action spaces.
