Final Year Project

Project Title

Home Away from Home for the Youth in Karachi

Description

My research aims to explore the meaning of home for the youth (aged 18-30 years) of Karachi, Pakistan. It will find out the places where they feel at home other than their place of residence and inquire about the emotional and physical elements that make them feel that way. By using qualitative research method of in-depth interviews, it was found that a majority of these places comprise of academic institutions, and also include relatives’ and friends’ homes, places of interest, and workplaces. The emotional elements of comfort, freedom of self-expression, safety, relaxation, and connections (among others) make people feel at home at these places. The research led to the conclusion that home is not just a physical space but rather a feeling that can be felt anywhere given the relevant home-like qualities are present.
