Dis-placed voices: sense of place and place-identity on the Sunshine Coast

Revisiting the model of creative destruction: St. Jacobs, Ontario, a decade later

“…This contestation demonstrates that the preservation (and indeed creation) of an identity is fraught with considerable conflict; a finding that is echoed throughout the international literature (e.g. Woods, 2005;Ballesteros and Ramirez, 2007;Clout, 2006;Trudeau, 2006;Brennan-Horley et al, 2007;Carter et al, 2007;Masuda and Garvin, 2008).…”

“…15 Attitudes of early arrivers (or old-time residents) are recorded by Mansfeld (1992), Frenkel and Walton (2000), Weaver and Lawton (2001), Panelli et al (2003) and Carter et al (2007). 16 The 2006 survey did not attempt to gauge residents' representations of space;…”

Monitoring Perceptions of Social Progress and Pride of Place in a South African Community

“…Cohen and Kliot (1992: 656) make a distinction between producers of names, usually a central authority, and the consumers, individuals and groups.

Adaptation Preferences and Responses to Sea Level Rise and Land Loss Risk in Southern Louisiana: a Survey-based Analysis

“…However, the impacts of land loss have damaged the physical environment in which these lifestyles originate, causing injury to self (Burley 2010). As concluded by a study regarding place-identity on the Sunshine Coast of Australia, Carter et al (2007) emphasizes the examination of physical environment degradation and its impact on place attachment. If it is not examined, then intuitively there can be a substantial amount degradation without having any impacts on attachment and ultimately adaptation preferences and practices.…”
