Place attachment in Nigerian urban slums: Evidence from inner-city Ibadan

To leave or not to leave? An analysis of individual and neighbourhood characteristics shaping place attachment in Harare's selected informal settlements

“…Among the individual sociodemographic predictors of place attachment, length of residence "has been found to be the unquestionable winner" (Lewicka, 2011, 216). Length of residence is the most consistent positive predictor of place attachment found by Brown (2003), Kleit and Manzo (2006), Lewicka (2010), Adewale et al (2020), and several other scholars. The longer the time spent living in a particular place, the greater the experiences which may translate into high place attachment (Zenker and Rütter 2014).…”

“…Age was also included as a key explanatory variable because previous studies have found age to have a strong influence on people's place attachment (Livingston et al 2008;Adewale et al 2020). Based on the survey data, a categorical variable called "age of respondents" was generated, which was coded as follows: 18-35 years = 0; 36-45 years = 1; 46-55 years = 2; and above 55 years = 3.…”

“…Place attachment refers to affective bonds between people and their residential environments (Sharp 2018). Place attachment is regarded as one of the significant predictors of peoples' attitudes toward their residential environment and a major influence on their overall quality of life (Kamalipour et al 2012), as well as on their participation in community development (Adewale et al 2020).…”

“…There has been significant scholarly interest in analyzing the determinants of place attachment in different residential environments (Livingston et al 2010; Bailey et al 2012). Place attachment studies analyze its various dimensions (Livingston et al 2010; Anton and Lawrence 2014), while others examine its socio‐economic and physical predictors (Lewicka 2010; Kamalipour et al 2012; Akinjokun et al 2018; Adewale et al 2020; Dlamini et al 2020). Lewicka (2011) argues that place attachment varies by age, length of residence, socio‐economic status, and the ability of local places to provide life opportunities to their residents.…”

Evaluación de la vivienda de interés prioritario desde la perspectiva de los beneficiarios: urbanización Antonia Santos, Tunja, Colombia

“…32 Nº 4 -2021 como infraestructura, seguridad, solidaridad, uso del espacio, situación residencial y percepciones sobre sus vecinos y el barrio; al respecto, se ha diagnosticado que, los servicios básicos, el área socioeconómica y la infraestructura eran factores que influían directamente en la insatisfacción de ciertas personas sobre el área donde vivían. En este sentido Adewale et al, (2020) mencionan que también la insatisfacción de los usuarios está en el entorno del vecindario y las vías precarias de acceso a las urbanizaciones, los escasos servicios públicos y los factores asociados con la seguridad de sus habitantes. Por otra parte, Grasser et al, (2016) encontraron una asociación negativa entre la transitividad y el vecindario, la primera entendida como el espacio usado para el desarrollo de una serie de actividades, entre ellas, las recreativas, el acceso a diversos servicios y el tránsito hacia el lugar de trabajo; mientras las familias de estrato alto gozan de movilidad propia, quienes habitan barrios pobres, lo hacen en transporte público (Cardona eta al., 2020).…”
