Building on the growing discursive approach to people–place relations, we examine how young people negotiate people–place tensions and relations, and how they establish their everyday sense of place in contemporary public spaces. Facilitated by the use of Collaborative Spatial Mapping, analysis of focus group data from 51 young people focuses on three aspects of participants’ talk about the places that make up their everyday lives: appropriation of micro-geographical spaces, the construction of autobiographical insideness and the mobilization of shared socio-spatial histories. Our analysis illustrates young people's responses to a broader problematic of being ‘troublesome’ in public spaces, demonstrating how they construct a deep-rooted attachment to, and sense of themselves as located members within, such spaces. We argue that place appropriation and autobiographical insideness are important concepts for understanding the practice of citizenship by young people, and how such practice is embedded in wider political processes of spatial conflict and exclusion.

在公共空间中构建年轻人的位置：冲突、归属感和身份

基于日益增长的人地关系话语方法，我们研究了年轻人如何协商人地紧张关系和关系，以及他们如何在当代公共空间中建立日常的地方感。借助协作空间映射，对来自 51 名年轻人的焦点小组数据的分析侧重于参与者谈论构成他们日常生活的地方的三个方面：微地理空间的挪用、自传内在的构建和调动共享的社会空间历史。我们的分析说明了年轻人对在公共场所“麻烦”这一更广泛问题的反应，展示了他们如何构建对此类空间的根深蒂固的依恋，并认为自己是此类空间中的固定成员。
