“…Cultural heritage includes tangible elements such as artefacts, buildings and historic places, and associated intangible elements including practices, representations, expressions, knowledge and skills. It is considered ‘a representation of the past in the present’ (Nikielska-Sekula, 2016: 98) and provides greater understanding of the present by offering a sense of continuity between these two time periods (Throsby, 2001; UCLG, 2015). It is through understanding of the past that we can imagine the future we might seek (Hawkes, 2001), with art theorised as playing a crucial role as a collective vehicle for self-reflection and shared source of cultural identity (Donald, 2006).…”

“…like we have a voice and are not just a background people’ (Patrick, 2015: 8). Cultural practices likewise strengthen the sense of cultural belonging to Turkey for Turkish people living in Norway (Nikielska-Sekula, 2016). Cultural activity can also promote a sense of belonging to groups that are defined differently than national and ethnic communities.…”

The cultural sector (arts, heritage and library agencies) receives increasing demands to articulate and evaluate outcomes of its work. These demands are challenging because of pervasive conceptions that the intangible nature of cultural activities makes them inherently unmeasurable, while their ‘intrinsic’ properties render them essentially valuable. This article addresses this challenge in positing a schema of measurable cultural outcomes of cultural engagement developed through literature analysis and an iterative Delphi-style stakeholder consultation. The outcomes are as follows: creativity stimulated; aesthetic enrichment experienced; knowledge, ideas or insight gained; diversity of cultural expression appreciated; and sense of belonging to cultural heritage deepened.

This paper aims at discussing the value of researcher-generated visual methods in studying migration. It focuses on photography as a data collection method, and the problem is presented in the context of researching urban and rural arenas of exercising transnational belonging by migrants and their descendants in new and ancestral homelands. Photography is approached here as a sensorial experience mediating a relationship between the researcher and the participants. The author argues that the relationships occurring around photo-taking in the field are as important as the data collected intentionally. Moreover, the chapter discusses ethical questions prompted by the employment of visual methods, problematizing them in a context of different social, cultural and national settings. With this chapter, the author attempts to answer a question whether researcher-generated visual data can open new angles of analyses of migrants’ life-words and how the employment of visual methods can influence theoretical perspectives within migration studies.

“…Tuan (1990 p.4) understands sense of place as "the affective bond between people and place or setting", while Scannell & Gifford (2010 p.1) state that place attachment is "the bonding that occurs between individuals and their meaningful environments". The use of two different terms in the academic literature, 'sense of place' and 'place attachment', to explain the same phenomenon exists because the concept has been developed in various disciplines (Brown & Raymond, 2007;Ng, 2013). The term 'sense of place' was used in human geography by researchers such as Buttimer (1980) and Relph (1976) when they began to focus on examining important differences between space and place, while the use of the term 'place attachment' was originally popularized by Stokols & Shumaker (1981), who are psychologists.…”

A thorough knowledge of the sense of place concept is required to understand the relationship between a heritage place and the people doing activities in that place. A good understanding of the human dimension presence is one of the keys to achieving sustainable heritage conservation. Although the concept of sense of place has become part of spatial studies to explain place-people bonding, there is no universal agreement among scholars how to interpret this concept. As a basis for understanding sense of place in a heritage context, this paper proposes a concept of sense of place that was developed from an approach that sees heritage place-people bonding as an attitude. This approach reliably results in a sense of place construction that is comprehensive, unambiguous, and has the potential for further development in later research on conservation behavior. As an attitude concept, sense of place has three dimensions, namely place identity (cognitive component), place attachment (affective component), and place dependence (conative component). Each dimension could be explained by different but interrelated principles. These principles were chosen because they were considered capable of identifying the bonds between people and heritage places that have both tangible and intangible aspects and are influenced by the dimension of time. The relationships between heritage place, sense of place dimensions, and the principles that explain each dimension are arranged in a conceptual framework. This framework can be used as a guideline for heritage researchers to understand the sense of place concept, which seems too abstract and subjective, so that it can be operationalized in research and be applied for the benefit of heritage conservation.
