自我的家：距离实践与老年旅游移民家的建构.

Although meaning of home is influenced by distancing, it is usually overlooked that how distancing affects the process of building a home. As a kind of practice, Distancing is an important way to build relationships between individual and the external environment. Through relational perspectives, home is regarded as a relational space. Taking senior tourism migrants in Pai, Thailand as a case study, this paper examines the meaning of home, the process of building homes and in which the role of distance plays in the background of increasing tourism-led mobility. Quality research methods—semi-interview, participated and non-participated observation— were used during the field work, in which the researchers have stay in the case from Jan. 9,2020 to Jan. 20, 2020. 17 old tourism migrants from 8 different countries have accepted the interviews. Each conversation lasted for 20~50 minutes. It found that: (1) Home is a comfortable relationship with physical environment, social environment and inner world. Home is the result of distance practice. (2) Western senior tourism migrants experience "home of myself" and sustain a self-centered lifestyle. And their homes are consisted of personal social and physical aspects. Different aspects of home are not as equal as important but diverse, western old tourism migrants consider personal aspect of home is more crucial than physical and social aspect of home. The research conclusions deepen the research framework of the meaning of the home, point out the importance of distance practice for the construction of home, and at the same time enrich the understanding of the "ideal home" of the elderly, and recognize the importance of self-space and control of life to the elderly.
