| Description | The paper focuses on the lived territorial experience of people after job loss and aims to answer the research question "How was transformed the territoriality of people just after losing their jobs?" Losing a job can manifest by a sense of a reduction of social status, a decline in economic security or lack of regular daily routine, which is then reflected in the territorial behaviour of people after job loss. The text is based on a series of semi-structured interviews conducted in the first half of 2016 with the communication partners who have left their jobs in the past six months. The subsequent analysis of the interviews revealed the loss of one of the major anchor points in the form of the workplace and the creation of new activity spaces (possibly increasing their importance). The newly formed action space has changed its form from the network a few lines to the territory with a central point in the home and among other things is influenced by gender, voluntary/involuntary abandonment of previous employment, respectively eventual financial distress or assumption of troubled/trouble free finding a new job. |
