PLACE [got] Research is an independent spatial research initiative to analyze the relationship between people and their living environments.
The name PLACE combines an analytical framework with a fundamental human concept:
P - People (Inhabitant-centered metrics)
L - Location (GIS and spatial analysis)
A - Alignment (Person-Environment fit)
C - Contentment (Residential wellbeing and place satisfaction)
E - Equity (Spatial accessibility and fair opportunity)
We build open-access tools, maps, and field-checked indicators designed to be used directly by residents, local planners, spatial data analysts, and decision-makers.

[got]
The bracketed term [got] represents "곳" - the Korean word for a place where daily life and community take root. As a noun, it means "place," "spot," or "location." Most commonly it functions as a dependent noun, such as "좋은 곳 (a good place / a nice spot)" or "안전한 곳 (a safe location)."
