This article endeavours to analyse the subjective experience of the landscape and its embracement by two groups of people (the Czech majority and the German minority) in the Czech lands during the first half of the 20 th century. It considers the landscape to be an optically perceivable sector with its own distinct elements, structures, important places and landmarks. It simultaneously perceives it as a space with a history and symbolic value. The Czech geologist Cilek states that “we age together with the land and trees in our home landscape” . How specifically do we create this home landscape and what strategies do we choose if forced to abandon it? The actual topic of the paper and the study is therefore the relationship between the landscape and home within the meaning of a place we have assimilated with, one that evokes an emotional relationship, i.e. the origin and function of the anthropological dimensions of the Czech landscape, the in-terconnection between the landscape and a specific group, and the spatial map that originated as a result of new political-social conditions, and new territorial borders and even state borders.

After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the so-called Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, covering the area within the 30 km radius from the nuclear reactor site, was established (also in Belarus). All people were evacuated from the zone and displaced to “clean” territory. For the purpose of the current paper, reports of witnesses from the documental prose, dialectal texts, publications and Belarus Archives of Oral History were analysed in an attempt to find in their narratives the answers to the following questions: who the people called “chernobyltsy” (literally: the Chernobyl ones) are and in what way they were and are seen by other people, especially just after the disaster; what the reaction of the people to the process of evacuation was; what the indigenous people during the evacuation took with them; what they left at their homes and why; what their attitude towards new comfortable houses and flats was; in what way they tried to adapt themselves to new environment; where they buried the dead; and whether they successfully settled in their new places of residence. Having analysed the reports and arranged them according to the phenomenology of the area based on the report of H. Buczynska-Garewicz, the category of “rootedness” of S. Weil and J. Tischner, A. van Gennep’s theory of rites of passage”, the author concludes that a great number of “chernobyltsy” are deeply rooted in their motherland; an approach that excludes the possibility of expanding the definition of “home” and “the sense of settlement”. Those people usually suffer at their new places of residence and sometimes return home. The only strategies favouring their acceptance of a new place that have been observed are focusing on work, especially on working the land (an allotment), or focusing on the health of their children.

Feeling at home can be metaphorically associated with dwelling (M. Heidegger) and finding/constructing one’s place. With, i.a. the concepts of Heidegger and M. de Certeau as a starting point the author shows how the process of creating one’s place can be understood today. Recalling various examples of tamed “places/venues” (the cigar shop in Smoke by P. Auster and W. Wang, the local shop in the anthropological documentary Tobacco, Truths and Rummikub by S. Meyknecht, and the “mobile bar” in Ankara described by D. Altay), he creates an ambiguous concept of the “own place today”. An example crucial for the presented reflections is the establishment and functioning of the Kicia Kocia clubhouse in the district of Grochow (Warsaw) showing how a “real place” can be created first virtually (Facebook), through stories and things, and then by the people themselves or rather through their relationships. It is the latter – or their network – that allow to construct a place-rhizome, which radiates throughout a district.

In the landscape of a large Polish city, one can notice homeless people, but also activities that help them survive in this difficult state and go out of it. In Cracow, such activities are undertaken, among others, by the Saint Father Pio Aid Centre. One of the phases of getting out of homelessness is staying at a “training flat”, the aim of which is for a person to learn to look after a flat and manage their earned resources. Based on observation, analysis of documents and interviews with employees of the Centre, the article tries to show the difficult path to “learn one’s home”.

An analogous perception of the grave as a “residence” for the deceased belongs to the archaic sphere within the traditional spiritual culture of many communities, not only within Europe. Even today, such an attitude can be observed in the behavior, imagination and reflection of our contemporaries, especially those belonging to the oldest generation. In the context of these ideas, such persons tend to prepare their own burial place even though they are still alive. The paper is focused on the current forms of preparing one’s own “residence” at a cemetery, and the attitudes attendant on this phenomenon. Presented material is based on the long-term ethnological research of the problems in the rural environment of Slovakia. It presents its genesis, analyzes the strategies of preparing burial site (alternatively: a place for the insertion of a urn), defining the motives of such behavior, and the individual forms of “occupying” the place at the cemetery even though the person in question is still alive.
