Scope note

Text

Instances of this class involve the intentional activity of actors to spend time in a geographic location in a capacity as inhabitant. Instances of dwelling entail an intentional relation to the place dwelt in by the intending actor, engaging in interaction with and observation of the place dwelt in and the various things to be met in that space in a manner building up a longer term relation to and reliance on the latter.

Instances of dwelling begin with the settling in of the dwelling actor within the place to be dwelt in. Instances of dwelling end when the dwelling actor permanently leaves the place dwelt in, typically to establish dwelling in another place. Instances of dwelling may further end if the actor is forced against their will or lose the means by which to continue the dwelling in that place or when they themselves expire.
