ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the perspective of one group, the tramps, and tries to show how the perspective of other groups shapes it. It focuses on the tramps' classification of various areas only as it pertains to their spatial movements and not necessarily as it reflects their full and complex set of attitudes toward these areas. The chapter discusses the relationship between the two groups under consideration, the tramp and the host population. Also mentioned will be the dominant ideology, which provides a framework within which the host group operates. It considers the strategies the tramp employs to make a place for himself in the spatial order of the city. The chapter explores the way the tramp takes the role of the host group in order to derive a classification of the city pertinent to his attempts to survive there.
