“…From their research, they suggested that SCI showed that positively and negatively worded items in these four main factors correlated each other. At the individual level, Long and Perkins(2007) reaffirmed that SOC is intimately related to social capital(neighboring, citizen participation, collective efficacy), informal(social control), communitarianism, place attachment, community confidence, and community satisfaction. He argues that place and social are inextricably bound, and studying the impact of the social alone on communityoriented construct constrains full understanding of multilevel phenomena.…”

“…Moreover, highly dense neighborhoods in urban area are often associated with emotional environment that makes people's relationships superficial, instrumental, and impersonal. Several studies report that increased level of the sense of community is fostering more feelings of being real neighborhood environment which could be found in traditional villages (Long & Perkins, 2007;McMillan & George, 1986;Glynn, 1981). Further, it is known that high level of sense of community contributes to the safe, and soundness of community, thus making a better place to live.…”

In contemporary Korean society, urban community environment is often associated with high-density and high-rise residences that make people's relationships superficial, instrumental and impersonal. Furthermore, urban community consistently interplays with neighboring residents and childhood emotional experience are influential on their unconscious images and attitude about their current neighborhood environment, while affecting the environmental attitude and the formation of community sense. Previous research found evidences that increased level of community sense is fostering more feeling of living in so-called "real neighborhood environment. " This study aimed to cross-culturally examine what the respondents' emotional perception and their attitude were about the community environment in their childhood through environmental autobiography method and to examine the effects of the results on adults' formation of sense of community for their current community environment. Extensive literature review explored a few important theoretical framework which are closely related to sense of community (SOC) as a result of emotional experience: membership, influence, integration and fulfillment of needs, shared emotional connection and community satisfaction. Chi-square and GLM analysis revealed that there were no demographic, and socio-economic differences between two groups of Korean and US residents. Correlation analysis indicated that childhood emotional experience of Koreans and US citizens was statistically significant on sense of community for their current living community. Multi-regression analysis also found that the degree of influence were the main predictors for building strong sense of current community throughout a cross-cultural group. Furthermore, the relationship between various emotional experience of each factor in previous and current community environment were statistically significantly related. It is concluded that as the positive childhood experience of influence in their past community was going up, the level of sense of community for their current community was strengthened across their crosscultural background.

“…Others (Long & Perkins 2007) considered social participation as one of the four dimensions of social capital (others being collective efficacy, social cohesion and social disorganization). Indeed participation in leisure or recreation activities is regarded by many researchers as an essential component of an individual's sense of well-being resulting in positive benefits such as self-improvement and family functioning (Wood et al 2007).…”

“…First, participation in formal organizations has been shown to increase feeling of safety (Crank et al 2003;Kruger 2007). Scholars (Long & Perkins 2007) have argued that social capital is intricately linked to sense of community which is often an outcome of social participation. Sense of community operates both at individual, and community levels to predict informal neighbouring behaviour and citizen participation.…”

This paper reports a study on the perception of safety in a public housing scheme. It uses two different models to explain this phenomenon. The rationale was that the components of these models are associated with the quality of life of residents. The results suggest that the model which explains the perception of safety using facilitating factors (vulnerability and disorder) is more explanatory than the model which uses inhibiting factors (social participation and sense of community).

Highlights• Local identification is related to both autochthony and sensitivity to urban disorder.• Local identification is directly and indirectly associated with ethnic prejudice.• Autochthony is a powerful ideology that can trigger exclusionary responses.Abstract Autochthony is the belief that a place belongs to those who were born there and that they are more entitled. Autochthony and local identification can foster sensitivity to any source of disorder that threatens local stability. The aims of this study were to determine whether: (a) local identification is associated with a higher level of sensitivity to urban disorder and a higher level of prejudice toward immigrants; (b) higher city identifiers use autochthony (entitlement for first comers) as a justification for both of these attitudes. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 254 adult residents of Turin, Italy. Local identification was found related to autochthony and to urban disorder sensitivity, autochthony was positively associated with both urban disorder sensitivity and prejudice toward immigrants and it mediated the relationship between local identification and prejudice.
