A thorough knowledge of the sense of place concept is required to understand the relationship between a heritage place and the people doing activities in that place. A good understanding of the human dimension presence is one of the keys to achieving sustainable heritage conservation. Although the concept of sense of place has become part of spatial studies to explain place-people bonding, there is no universal agreement among scholars how to interpret this concept. As a basis for understanding sense of place in a heritage context, this paper proposes a concept of sense of place that was developed from an approach that sees heritage place-people bonding as an attitude. This approach reliably results in a sense of place construction that is comprehensive, unambiguous, and has the potential for further development in later research on conservation behavior. As an attitude concept, sense of place has three dimensions, namely place identity (cognitive component), place attachment (affective component), and place dependence (conative component). Each dimension could be explained by different but interrelated principles. These principles were chosen because they were considered capable of identifying the bonds between people and heritage places that have both tangible and intangible aspects and are influenced by the dimension of time. The relationships between heritage place, sense of place dimensions, and the principles that explain each dimension are arranged in a conceptual framework. This framework can be used as a guideline for heritage researchers to understand the sense of place concept, which seems too abstract and subjective, so that it can be operationalized in research and be applied for the benefit of heritage conservation.
Sustainable urban heritage conservation requires an understanding of the influence of sense of place on the residents' conservation behaviour. However, in the context of urban heritage studies, the relationship between these two concepts has not been explored sufficiently. Therefore, this paper investigates the relationship between the dimensions of sense of place (place identity, place attachment, place dependence) and the dimensions of sustainable heritage behaviour (general behaviour and specific behaviour). The study was conducted in Semarang Old City, Central Java, Indonesia. The respondents were individual owners of old buildings who fit the predetermined criteria. Using Somers' D correlation, this study found that despite all the correlations formed between the dimensions being unidirectionally positive, only place identity had a significant effect on specific behaviour. Moreover, social bonding that builds the building owner's identity was strongly associated with the intention to take communal action in the form of specific behaviour. The implications of the research findings on theory and practice are also discussed.
Urban heritage conservation planning seeks to produce place experience with historical characteristics to bring sense of place that is a relation between human and place. However heritage urban planning that focuses on the sense of place actually gets criticized for being stuck in place-making purposes only and ignores the human dimension. The study of the sense of place potential in the urban heritage conservation is indeed still limited even though this potential needs to be studied futher because urban heritage place have cultural significant values which should be conserved by involving human dimensions. This paper is a literature review that intends to explore others sense of place potential related to human dimensions that can be used to successfully urban heritage conservation. In urban heritage conservation, besides being beneficial for place-making, it was found that the sense of place also has the potential as guidance information in the urban heritage spatial planning, factors that influence the participation of local residents to be involved in urban heritage planning and factors related to heritage conserving behavior.
Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi pengaruh modal sosial dalam menumbuhkan dan mendifusikan inovasi pertanian hortikultura sebagai basis pengembangan ekonomi lokal. Pendekatan studi yang digunakan adalah pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif, yang didukung oleh teknik analisis pencocokan pola hubungan teoritis dan pola hubungan empiris. Temuan studi ini menunjukkan bahwa modal sosial petani pada kegiatan ekonomi yang relatif lebih tinggi dibanding pada kegiatan sosial dapat menumbuhkan inovasi secara mandiri, lebih meluas dan perkembangannya lebih maju. Modal sosial petani yang relatif tinggi pada kegiatan ekonomi pun dapat mempermudah dan mempercepat proses difusi inovasi serta pendifusiannya berkembang lebih luas, tidak terbatas pada kelompok atau petani tertentu saja. Sementara itu, modal sosial masyarakat petani pada kegiatan sosial yang relatif lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada kegiatan ekonomi tidak menunjukkan adanya dorongan dalam menumbuhkan inovasi secara mandiri dan perkembangan inovasi. Karakteristik modal sosial tersebut juga tidak mempermudah pendifusian inovasi dan proses difusi hanya terjadi pada kelompok petani yang terbatas. Kesimpulannya adalah keberadaan Modal Sosial Petani yang tinggi pada kegiatan ekonomi merupakan kunci Keberlanjutan Pengembangan Ekonomi Lokal Berbasis Pertanian, melalui Pertumbuhan dan Difusi Inovasi Pertanian.
Tourism is a sector that is considered to have an important role in economic development of a region, so that it is expected to help increase regional income. The existence of the tourism sector in the region must be supported and have an impact on all parties involved, namely the government, local communities and investors. Bandar Lampung is the capital of Lampung Province, areas that have tourism potential are Sukadanaham Village. Sukadanaham Village before there was tourism was a wilderness, but since the existence of the tourist area the area has undergone many changes. With the role of investors or the private sector in tourism areas, they should be able to have an impact on the surrounding community. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of tourism on the social and economic aspects of the local community in Sukadanaham Village. The method used in this research is Mix Method Convergent. From the results of the study, it was found that on the social aspect it had an impact with the addition of local community groups, POKDARWIS, and on the economic aspect it had an impact in the form of employment opportunities in the field of tourism support and opportunities to increase income. However, the economic impact is not felt by all local communities due to several factors, one of which is a closed investor. The results of this study can be used as a direction for tourism development for the government, local communities, and the private sector.
