gesellschaftliche Stellung bzw. Wahrnehmung
Being entitled to hang out in the station area and exploring different ways to spend time there was especially meaningful to the group, as they had to face the residents' complaints and local authorities in the past. The re-appropriation and re-identification with the place allowed the group to affirm their presence and positively ‘inhabit’ the area, as pointed out both by the group and the youth workers. "We found a place where…a recreational place, where we could spend our time. Now this place is viewed better, and so are we." (Z)
