“…While it is widely acknowledged in the environmental psychology and leisure/recreation literature that places are grounded in environmental and social experiences (Felonneau, 2004;Moore & Graefe, 1994), they also note an affective link that individuals develop (Rolero & De Picolli, 2010) by building their sentiments about the place (Tuan, 1977). In a tourism/leisure context, affective connection with natural locations generates a sense of psychological well-being for visitors (Kaplan & Talbot, 1983;Korpela et al, 2009).…”

“…First, although the degree of individual identification can vary depending on personal variables like place of birth, length of residency, education etc. (Lalli, 1992;Rollero and Piccoli, 2010), it is likely that inhabitants and stakeholders of a region hold at least slices of its collective regional identity. Therefore, data gathering can focus on the subjective regional identification of identity holders to shed light on the shared sense of regional 'one-ness'.…”

Regional identity is the shared sense of regional 'one-ness', distinctiveness and difference. However, it is an undervalued factor to promote development in lagging rural areas and little is known about methods to reveal its content. This paper aims to develop and apply a method to explore regional identity in rural areas. We argue that the most important cultural markers -understood as rural landscapes and heritage features, perceived as regional identity reference points -can be analyzed and used to characterize regional identity. To this end, a case study was undertaken in two rural areas in northern Germany. We conducted 55 semi-structured interviews and determined cultural markers, using a new procedure with different analysis stages (identification, collectivity, historical depth, relationships). Results revealed a broad spectrum of cultural markers exhibiting collective significance with respect to landscape, built structures, history, intangible heritage and land-use. Next to traditional cultural markers, we found modern ones, introduced after the Second World War. Partially, traditional and modern cultural markers were perceived as related. Based on this knowledge, a first characterization of both regional identities was conducted, showing differences between our study areas. While one regional identity appears to be fragmented, conflicting and influenced by modern cultural markers, the other was characterized as coherent and rooted in traditional cultural markers. However, the integration of these characterizations into further planning steps remains challenging and needs additional, regionally adapted methods. A key finding of the study is that there is no single standard method for linking regional identity and rural planning.

“…Halpenny (2006), Kyle et al (2004bKyle et al ( , 2005 and Brocato (2006) emphasise the distinction of place affect from the other dimensions of place attachment. While it is widely acknowledged in the environmental psychology and leisure recreation literature that places are grounded in environmental and social experiences (Felonneau, 2004;Moore & Graefe, 1994), they also relate to an affective link which individuals develop with these places (Rolero & De Picolli, 2010). Place affect is conceptualised as the emotional bonds individuals share with settings in their framework.…”

This paper critically examines the concept of place attachment and its likely influence on proenvironmental behavioural intention of visitors. It considers place attachment as a multidimensional construct comprising place dependence, place identity, place affect, and place social bonding, and suggests that research investigating this relationship in a national park context is fragmented, scattered, and often does not fully consider its multi-dimensional nature. A coherent and integrated approach is needed to advance the field. By considering place attachment as an attitude and acknowledging the close relationship between attitude and behavioural intention when both are directed toward a particular object or environment, the paper develops a conceptual framework that integrates the different place attachment subconstructs. It presents their relationship to pro-environmental behavioural intention as a series of propositions. The framework further considers place satisfaction to exert a direct influence on visitors' pro-environmental behavioural intentions in national parks and a moderating effect on the relationship between the different place constructs and proenvironmental behavioural intention in parks. Finally, the latter construct is proposed to influence visitors' general pro-environmental behavioural intentions. The paper's theoretical contributions, its limitations and its practical implications for sustainable tourism in general and national park management in particular, are discussed.
