Reaching the wanderer's disposition into the Old Town of Chania

 

 

After looking for those notions which connect people, the city and their movement in it, we clarified the notion "wanderer", while exploring congnate notions such as: stroller, excursionist, flaneur, to wander,  wandering. Through this research we decided to define the notion "wanderer" as someone walking without a cause; someone without a determined course or someone who diverted from it.  The wanderer observes the urban scenery, thoroughly or not. Sometimes, he/she remains distant, while others he/she participates in what happens around.  His/her movement is influenced by the city's characteristics, such as the architecture, the history, the decoration, the scenery, the light, the sounds, the climate, people, the textures etc.  Additionally, the wanderer's phychology, such as the desires, the disposition, the feelings and the needs, are crucial.
