Introduction: Place Attachment – Theory and Practice

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Preserving and Constructing Place Attachment in Europe

Part of the book series: GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 131))

Abstract

The introduction presents the multi-dimensional aspects of place attachment, including concepts such as: place identity, place belonging, place dependence and it explains the relations among them in a process of building and maintaining the sense of place. It focuses on the role of human geographers and the achievement of Human Geography in place-oriented studies, underlining qualitative research, which is complementary to the existing body of work conducted mainly by environmental psychologists, who considered especially the quantitative measurement of place attachment. This part juxtaposes the achievements of both scientific fields, and proves their complementarity in place-oriented studies. In addition, different contributions to place attachment research are discussed; these present a multifaceted and integrated view of how place attachment can be interpreted, measured, and implemented into practice. In addition, the introduction discusses critically the relationship between place attachment and landscape. One of the golden threads linking them is the topic of territorial development and transition, which involves both the dimension of individual/collective place identity and belonging (bottom-up) and the policy of territorial planning and place-making (top-down). The introduction emphasised the value of the book by presenting its scientific and societal relevance.
