“…How mobility shapes configurations of place attachment within communities and the implications for social differentiation of risk Lewicka (2011a) highlights that there is much evidence that long residence time and strong community links predict strong place attachment: the longer someone lives in place the more attached they are likely to be (Brown et al 2003, Anton andLawrence 2014). But what does this mean for other people?…”

ABSTRACT. Coastal areas are exposed to changing patterns of mobility and increasingly extreme weather events, offering unique opportunities to study the complexity of adaptation to global changes and the diversity of responses to risk. How individuals and communities respond to risk varies widely, however traditional rationalist and economic based understandings have proved limited in explaining responses to risk. Increasingly social science, and specifically, a focus on peoples' relationships with their local places is providing a useful approach to understanding human responses to place based change. We bring together literature on sense of place, mobility, risk perception, and adaptation and develop a conceptual model to highlight the dynamic links between these processes. In particular we concentrate on a way of understanding risk that focuses on the role of different types of attachments to place. We explore this model using a pilot study (n = 70) and present data that indicates how different types of place attachments are significant in whether people perceive themselves to be at risk of flooding. Our review and results emphasize the interconnectivity of social and environmental change, and suggests that by identifying particular place attachments, as shaped by mobility, we can deepen our understanding of how communities choose to respond to risk.

“…Past studies have revealed that these factors are associated with differences in residents' satisfaction with their physical environment [2,44,45] and all three place relationship dimensions-place attachment [6,13,46], social interaction [45,47], and community participation [11,48]. Homeownership has also been linked with the three place relationship dimensions, particularly place attachment [6,8,49] and community participation [8,10]. In these three communities, the percentage of homeownership was above 95%, similar to that of public housing in Taiwan as a whole [50].…”

“…In an attempt to avoid these inconsistencies and the resulting confusion, this study will use the term place relationship as the most general concept describing an individual's relationship with a place (Figure 1). Of the studies examining the relationships between the outdoor environment and place attachment [6,7], social interaction [6,8,9], and community participation [10][11][12], none, to the best of our knowledge, have analyzed the effects on all three concepts at the same time. In addition, almost all of this research has been conducted at the larger neighborhood scale [10,11,13].…”

“…Although past studies have found links between these variables and dimensions, the fact that reliable connections were not found is not too surprising. In the existing literature, one of the most consistent positive socio-demographic predictor of place attachment and social interaction is length of residence [6,8], and of community participation is education level [11,59]. Nevertheless, not all studies have found a significant relationship between these predictors and their respective place relationship dimensions [1,6,60].…”

How Do Community Planning Features Affect the Place Relationship of Residents? An Investigation of Place Attachment, Social Interaction, and Community Participation

Abstract:Outdoor environment can have significant connections with place relationships. This study tried to explore the connection in detail. First, the relationship was examined through an integrated view of environmental planning, followed by reviewing impacts of essential elements from the outdoor environment on place relationships. Residents of three public housing communities in Taiwan were surveyed. Each community had a different layout: alley, cluster, and large courtyard. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that outdoor community planning features can be grouped into four factors: outdoor space quality, circulation planning, outdoor recreational facilities, and community layout. Canonical correlation analyses indicate different combinations of these factors were connected to diverse combinations of place relationship dimensions. More importantly, higher levels of satisfaction toward outdoor space quality as well as community layout were associated with greater place attachment and less community participation. Higher levels of satisfaction with circulation planning were connected to greater place attachment and community participation, and less social interaction. Multiple regression analyses found the associations between the community planning features and place relationship dimensions differed among the alley, cluster, and large courtyard. These findings can help planners and architects design public housing and similar communities that better enhance the emotional and social experiences of the inhabitants.

Abstract:-The study describes the socioeconomic and demographic profile of Maiduguri residents on resilience towards insecurity, using convenient sampling technique, with a sample size of 383. The descriptive statistics was to describe the socioeconomic and demographic profile of the respondents. The results revealed that, the majority of residents are within the age bracket of 18-35, married, Muslims, and those who has tertiary education account for 603% of the majority. The result also indicates that most residents of the area are civil servant and business owners with few engaging in farming.Most of the residents lived in rented houses as compare to an owner occupier. The majority of the residents reside in the area for 1-10 years, while a large proportion falls within low-income bracket ofN10, 000 -N30, 000.The socioeconomic and demographic profile of the residents will provide relevant information on the actual condition of the residents and what the affected residents need most in terms of assistance that would improve their condition and relief them of the hardship been posed on them by the insurgency predicament.
