摘要
This article examines the relationship of personal identity to environmental meaning in later life. Four key elements of personal identity are described for each of three elderly informants who were questioned in a series of ethnographically-based qualitative interviews for a research project on the meaning of home. The manner in which each of these elements of personal identity is expressed environmentally is then described. The article supports the view that the subjective construction of the life course plays an important role in accounting for older person's environmental meanings. © 1990.
