Introduction
Abstract
Space is not simply a setting in which events unfold. It is experienced and represented in different ways by those who inhabit, cross, remember, or imagine it. Places derive their meanings from cultural, religious, and political practices as well as from the narratives associated with them, and these meanings may change without any corresponding alteration of the physical environment. Spatial transformation can therefore concern places themselves, but also the ways in which they are perceived and represented, the boundaries drawn within and around them, and the relationships established between people and their surroundings.

The Yearbook only accepts materials for publication that are free of all conflicts of interest, and that in no way involve conflicts over authorship, copyright, etc. The Editors will take action against any cases of plagiarizing, ghostwriting1, guest/honorary authorship2, etc. Where co-authored work is concerned, the Author listed first is expected to take responsibility for the submission, and is required to make clear the contributions of all of the Co-Authors involved. In the event of the publication owing its existence to funding dedicated to this purpose, this fact should be made clear: e.g. in any note of thanks/acknowledgement, or in a footnote, etc. Explicit notification should be given of any form of reprinting, with the appropriate evidence of permission to publish being furnished as required. Any impropriety on the part of Authors/Reviewers risks exposing them to appropriate responses from the relevant institutions.
