“…Within the literature on place attachment and pro-environmental behaviours, a number of studies have demonstrated significant associations between these two constructs in different contexts and situations (e.g., Devine-Wright & Howes, 2010;Gosling & Williams, 2010;Halpenny, 2010;Hernández et al, 2010;Raymond et al, 2011). While some studies have suggested that higher levels of place attachment are associated with lower intentions to engage in pro-environmental behaviours (Uzzell, Pol, & Badenas, 2002), other researchers have found that the opposite is also possible (Vaske & Kobrin, 2001).…”

“…A number of studies have demonstrated significant associations between place attachment and pro-environmental behaviours of individuals (e.g., Devine-Wright & Howes, 2010;Gosling & Williams, 2010;Halpenny, 2010;Hernández, Martin, Ruiz, & Hidalgo, 2010;Raymond et al, 2011). Pro-environmental behaviour is defined as an action by an individual or group that promotes or results in the sustainable use of natural resources (Sivek & Hungerford, 1989/1990.…”

“…Raymond et al, (2011) investigated the relationship between place attachment, moral and normative concerns and conservation of native vegetation using multiple regression. Hernandez, Martin, Ruiz, & Hidalgo (2010) used structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse the relationship between place attachment, place identity and environmental attitudes in investigating environmental protection laws. Gosling and Williams explored the relationship between place attachment, connectedness to nature and proenvironmental behaviour using a series of regression analyses.…”

Using data collected from 452 visitors at the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Australia, this paper applies multiple regression and structural equation modelling (SEM) approaches to test the relationships between the respective sub-constructs of place attachment (place dependence, place identity, place affect, place social bonding), place satisfaction, and visitors' pro-environmental behavioural intentions. Findings revealed differences in strength and magnitude of the regression paths. The SEM analysis further reveals insignificant regression paths between place identity and place satisfaction, and place social bonding and low effort pro-environmental behavioural intentions in contrast to the multiple regression results. An empirical comparison of the MR and SEM results is expected to shed light on the application of these two powerful techniques in tourism research.

'Place-myths' play a significant role in social spatialization (Shields, 1991), which may conflict with the branding of the place that is sustained and carried out by entrepreneur coalitions and business interests, local governments, and media (Greenberg, 2008; see also Jayne, 2006).…”

The ‘Frozen’ Heart of the Continent: Place-Myths and Winnipeg in Canadian Crime Films

Within Canadian national cinema, audiences view places that draw attention to the shared experience of being within these geopolitical, socio-spatial locations. This paper contends that crime films set in Winnipeg, a city situated in the centre of North America, reflect and contribute to the cultural identity of the city within the national imaginary. Place-myths have the potential to construct meanings about a particular place, indicating whether it is romantic or dangerous, progressive or "backward," vibrant or decaying. While currently branded by local civic boosters as the 'Heart of the Continent, ' (Kives, 2008) the construction of Winnipeg-asplace on film tells a different tale. By implementing a qualitative media analysis, we argue that place-myths manifest themselves within Canadian crime film narratives, and that a better understanding of place allows us to observe how Winnipeg becomes socially spatialized onscreen. As our paper suggests, one's sense of space can only constellate when one's experiences of being and acting within a place is taken into account. Winnipeg ultimately becomes represented on film as a place where crime is rampant and law enforcement is unable to combat the criminal behaviour within the city-in other words, where law and justice is 'frozen.' Keywords: Place-myths; crime; film; space; Winnipeg Dans le cinéma national canadien, les auditoires vont associer les lieux avec leur propre expérience de ces emplacements géopolitiques et de leur espace social. Cet article soutient que les films policiers qui se déroulent à Winnipeg, une ville située au centre de l'Amérique du Nord, reflètent et contribuent à forger l'identité culturelle de la ville au sein de l'imaginaire national. Les mythes liés aux endroits ont le potentiel de construire des significations autour d'un lieu spécifique, indiquant si cet espace est romantique ou dangereux, progressif ou « rétrograde », animé ou déserté. Même si des représentants de Winnipeg vont qualifier la ville de « coeur du continent » (Kives, 2008), sa construction imaginaire au cinéma raconte une autre histoire. Par la mise en oeuvre d'une analyse qualitative des médias, nous soutenons que les mythes des lieux se manifestent dans les trames narratives des films policiers canadiens, et qu'une meilleure compréhension des lieux nous permet de constater comment l'espace social de Winnipeg a été présenté à l'écran. Comme notre article le suggère, notre perception de l'espace ne peut s'exprimer pleinement que si nous expérimentons concrètement et agissons dans celui-ci. Winnipeg devient finalement représenté au cinéma comme un endroit où le crime est à la hausse et les organismes d'application de la loi incapables de combattre les comportements criminels dans la ville -en d'autres mots, où la loi et la justice sont « immobiles ».
