“…In this context, the ability of Malioboro Street and surrounding area to respond and cope with changes while retaining their identity is being challenged. As according to the previous studies: meanings, social, physical and visual are components of place identity in the traditional neighborhood (Ghoomi, et al, 2015, Sholihah & Heath, 2016. How the new harmonious equilibrium will be created without failing their performance in social, cultural, and economic context?…”

This paper attempts to assess the adaptability quality of Malioboro Street and district related to the physical and functional transformation as part of the urban negotiation and response to the ever changing environment of Indonesian cities. The street was qualitatively measured utilising field observations including physical mapping, behavioural mapping and in-depth interviews. The finding shows urban gentrification may lead to the transformation of physical and building use, which results in the changes of Kampong plot pattern and character of a traditional streetscape, people displacement and the sustenance of the local economy.

“…Space is neither predetermined nor fixed, it merely defines location. A place on the other hand, is a feature of architectural design within the context and confines of environmental elements (Ghoomi et al 2015;Raissi & Eshghi 2012) that twine with human experience to make it a social reality. The identity of any place forms through a combination of factors including the physical environment, cultural landscape, behaviour of people and the value that visitors gain from and give to it (Blaschke et al 2018;Parsaee, Parva & Karimi 2015).…”

Orientation: Placemaking is a proclivity of cities to change space into place through zoning, naming and development into attractive, people-friendly landscapes where diverse, harmonious and sometimes contradicting amenities are coalesced to attract people.Research purpose: To establish the perceptions of the visitors on appeal, experience and safety of the Golden Mile of Durban.Motivation for the study: The study was motivated by availability of online reviews that remained unanalysed and did not aid decision-making.Research design, approach and method: Data were collected from 287 reviews sampled from the Golden Mile website. Qualitative analysis was performed on the data and categorised according to appeal, experience and safety associated with the Golden Mile.Main findings: The study found that placemaking is always work in progress as destinations strive for competitiveness and to avoid obsoletion. An overwhelming majority of visitors rated the Golden Mile as good to excellent on appeal, experience and safety. Some criticised the place as unsafe with a number of dilapidated buildings spoiling its appeal.Practical/managerial implications: Planners and tourism developers should factor the grass root approach to placemaking by increasing security and urging property owners to revamp their buildings, thus keeping with the image of the place.Contribution/value-add: The article emphasises the significance and value added by online visitors’ reviews in placemaking.

“…In this regard, the sense of place is created based on the action-reaction relationship between the physical environment and human perception (e.g., Steele 1981;Hummon 1992;Williams et al 2010). In the perspective of environmental psychology, which is the approach of this research, theorists, in addition to the role of the physical environment, emphasize the dimension of residents' activities in the sense of place (Canter, 1977;Punter 1991;Montgomery 1998;Smaldone, Harris, and Sanyal 2005;Falahat 2006;Chigbu 2013;Ghoomi et al 2015).…”

“…Research has been conducted at various spatial scales, such as house, street, neighborhood, village, city or district. For example, Ghoomi et al (2015) compared the components of sense of place on the scale of traditional and modern residential neighborhoods. The results of this study showed that in traditional neighborhoods, social activities and in modern neighborhoods, physical and visual environment has a greater impact on people's sense of place.…”

The present study aims to investigate the effect of configuration changes and activities of rural housing types on the sense of place of residents. For this purpose, 382 houses from two types of rural housing in Guilan, Iran are randomly selected. The analysis of houses is done through space syntax and analysis of activities is done through structured interviews, chi-square test, and balloon and cluster analyses. Also, ten indicators are used to evaluate the sense of place in R software. The results show that the typological changes of rural housing have changed the configuration and the place of activities, affecting the sense of place of residents. It is observed that the sense of place in indigenous housing is more than engineered housing. Therefore, it is necessary to design a rural housing configuration with appropriate spatial quality for residents' activities in order to strengthen their sense of place.
