Implications for place attachment in coastal Reserve management

Measuring Neighborhood Quality of Life: Placed-Based Sustainability Indicators in Freiburg, Germany

“…Place-based indicators are not new to sustainable community development and are very diverse [4][5][6][7]. These indicators often focus on individual and community perceptions of their environments as well as their affect or feelings towards those environments.…”

“…This leads into the introduction of the two sustainably planned neighborhoods surveyed via questionnaire regarding QoL, placed-based indicators, and sustainability. The factors measured, analyzed, and discussed in this study include factors (1) explaining the decision of current residents of Rieselfeld and Vauban to move there, (2) environmental behavior and attitudes among the residents, (3) social engagement within the two neighborhoods, (4) housing and neighborhood satisfaction, (5) and neighborhood expectations. A more detailed description of the factors as well as the way they were measured is provided in Section 2.2 of this paper.…”

Determining the influence of the social versus physical context on environmentally responsible behaviour among cycling spectators

“…Place attachment may be an important factor underlying or providing impetus to a spectator"s intention to behave responsibly during an event (McCullough & Kellison, 2016) and this attachment is regarded as a vital consideration in natural resource management strategies (Lee, 2011;López-Mosquera & Sánchez, 2012;Ramkissoon, Smith & Weiler., 2013;Snider, Hill, Luo, Buerger & Herstine., 2011). Different levels of place attachment will lead to different levels of concern about the state of the natural resources in a specific setting (Kyle et al 2004;Snider et al, 2011) and a heightened sense of attachment could lead to greater propensity to display responsible behaviour in such a setting (Halpenny, 2010;Ramkissoon et al, 2013). In some instances place attachment may lead to a greater willingness to sacrifice resources toward protection of the place (Kyle et al, 2003;López-Mosquera & Sánchez, 2012).…”

“…Once individuals feel a sense of ownership toward a place where they participate in recreational activities, they are inclined to display responsible behaviour (Trendafilova, 2011). This may depend on the number of visitations to a place (Snider et al, 2011), the perceived benefits received through visitation (López-Mosquera & Sánchez, 2012) and the specific meaning attached to a place by the visitor (Wynveen, Kyle & Sutton, 2012). Increased knowledge about a place through information provision (Halpenny, 2010) or through regular use (Thompson, Davidson & Hutson, 2008) also increases the likelihood that an individual will display responsible behaviour in order to protect the place.…”

Economic Aspects of Climate Change Adaptation and Natural Hazard Risk Mitigation

“…In order to effectively assess residents' perceptions of coastal vulnerability and their corresponding preferences, the influence of place attachment should be taken into consideration because it is an emotional bond that affects behavior (Burley, 2010;Snider et al, 2011).…”
