Sustainability of Suburban Industrial Development through Place Attachment

Abstract

This research uses urban space reconstruction as the entry point, discussing the characteristics of residents’ sense of place in Lingang new town, Shanghai, based on the method of factor analysis to divide the sense of place into place attachment, place identity, and place dependence. On the whole, residents’ sense of place in Lingang new town is at a common level, and the comprehensive score of residents’ sense of place in Lingang new town is "more than half". Meanwhile, place attachment is the highest, place dependence is the lowest, and place identity is in the middle. Therefore, the sense of place mainly depends on place attachment. Using an independent T test and variance analysis to explore the characteristics of the sense of place, this paper has found that age, income level, education level, household registration, and migration patterns have significantly different influences on the three dimensions of the sense of place. There is no difference in gender and the type of occupation, whether they are working in Lingang New Town or not. The research on the sense of place in suburban industrial development zones presents a new perspective for solving the social space problems in the development zone. Finally, this research suggests improving the construction of public facilities, paying more attention to youth groups’ sense of place, and enhancing the sense of belonging to the highly educated groups and high-income groups, as well as strengthening innovation and entrepreneurship cooperation between the new town and the main city.

Structural relationships between workation attachment, workationer power, workation relationship quality, and workation intention

“…Place dependence is referred to as functional attachment to a place (Stokols and Shumaker, 1981). It is the perceived strength of the bond between people and places (Lu et al, 2022). Place affect is defined as the emotional bond people share with environmental settings (Ramkissoon, 2016), fosterage of psychological restorativeness (Ramkissoon, 2020), and a good feeling factor (Ramkissoon, 2021).…”

KIC4: A Four-Dimensional Model for Industrial Symbiosis: Validation with Key Stakeholders

“…They concluded there can be a positive relationship between an industrial cluster and the localities within which their workers reside, even in times of sustainability transitions such as decarboinsaion. Continuing on the deacrbonisation theme, Lu concluded that different precinct locations generate a connection with the respective workforces (local community) and that they respond differently to negative distruption (Lu et al, 2022). The energy transition therefore needs to bring the local people (workforce and community) along on the journey, thus identifying a relationship between industry and its local workforce.…”

Spatial Morphological Characteristics and Evolution of Policy-Oriented Urban Agglomerations—Take the Yangtze River Middle Reaches Urban Agglomeration as an Example

“…Scholars have tended to identify changes in the material spaces from the perspective of land use and cover with the help of satellite images [8,9]. By analyzing the forms of urban agglomeration, a deeper understanding of the process of spatial agglomeration and diffusion can be achieved using GIS [10][11][12], eventually leading to clear policy recommendations [13][14][15]. Research methods also continue to go deeper into the fields of artificial intelligence, sensors, and cloud computing, and optimization strategies are deeply discussed with scenario simulations [16,17].…”
