===Environmental=== ====Geography==== Specific locations can trigger nostalgia. Such places are often associated with an individual's past, reminding them of their past childhood, relationships, or achievements. They may include the homes where they grew up with their families, the schools they attended with friends, or the venues they went to for dating and marriage.<ref>{{cite news |last=O'Neal |first=Gabrielle J. |date=Mar 5, 2021 |title=Nostalgic Places from Childhood |url=https://afhspatriotpress.wixsite.com/read/post/nostalgic-places-from-childhood |work=The Patriot Press |location=American Fork, Utah}}</ref> ====Nature==== Nature-based factors such as weather and temperature can trigger nostalgia. Scientific studies have shown that cold weather makes people more nostalgic, while nostalgia causes people to feel warmer.<ref name="weather"/> In some societies, elements of [[nature]] often trigger a nostalgia for past times when nature played a larger role in culture.<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-17383-2_21 |chapter=The Role of Nature in the Nostalgic Experience of the Japanese |author=William J.

Nostalgia differs from solastalgia because nostalgia is typically generated by spatial separation from important places or persons (one's home, family, friends, or loved ones) with which it is often possible, in principle, to reconnect. With solastalgia, in contrast, the grief is typically caused by environmental destruction, so the separation between subject and object is ontological rather than spatial: it is permanent and unbridgeable, and can be experienced while continuing to occupy the same irreversibly degraded place.
