Therefore, we detached at along of the text: the scale role in the geographical studies; the acquaintanceship and the use of place and local concepts; the complementary and contradictory relationship between the place and the world-wide; some contributions of the Geographical literature concerning the place category; and the presentation of a theoretical rehearsal of understanding and enlargement of what idea we make about place. Key words: Place. Geography. Space-time. Diversity. Everyday.
