It is possible to observe the development of social inequality and spatial polarization at the household level within one rural locality. Spatial transformations at the level of the village streets are created by the locals in their own backyards and houses. Internal emotions and people’s perceptions of well-being are the drivers of changes. Polarization of social and geographical space are caused by internal beliefs about wealth, prestige, and quality of life.
