“…Most researchers conceptualize place attachment as a multidimensional construct but there is no consensus on how many dimensions there are. Many conceptualizations make a distinction between emotional or symbolic attachments to a place and functional or physical attachments (Lin and Lockwood 2014;Schreyer et al 1981). These two dimensions are commonly referred to as place identity and place dependence, respectively (Brown and Raymond 2007;Vaske and Kobrin 2001;Williams and Vaske 2003).…”

Wildfires are a common occurrence in many countries and are predicted to increase as we experience the effects of climate change. As more people are expected to be affected by fires, it is important to increase people's wildfire mitigation and preparation. Place attachment has been theorized to be related to mitigation and preparation. The present study examined place attachment and wildfire mitigation and preparation in two Australian samples, one rural and one on the wildland-urban interface. The study consisted of 300 participants who responded to questionnaires about their place attachment to their homes and local areas, as well as describing their socio-demographic characteristics and wildfire mitigation and preparedness. Hierarchical regression showed that place attachment to homes predicted wildfire mitigation and preparedness in the rural sample but not in the wildland-urban interface sample. The results suggest that place attachment is a motivator for mitigation and preparation only for people living rurally. Reminding rural residents of their attachment to home at the beginning of wildfire season may result in greater mitigation and preparedness. Further research focusing on why attachment does not predict mitigation and preparedness in the wildland-urban interface is needed.

“…Those advocating a place attachment perspective have emphasised that the social dimensions of place, i.e. current and historical social or cultural attachment to an area, also play a role in shaping opinions of new developments (Raymond et al, 2010;Lin and Lockwood, 2014). As this particular landscape at Búrfell is generally not seen as incredibly beautiful, where nothing should be built, but neither as a completely worthless place, a key piece of information seems to be missing -just how important is this wind farm project for Iceland's energy provision and/or for the local area?…”

“…Whilst the former is generically defined by legal definitions, rights and responsibilities, there is little agreement on precisely how a sense of belonging might be defined, despite its wide usage across a multiplicity of fields of study from citizenship to attachment theory, from personal identity to political philosophy. At one end of the spectrum, it can be examined as place-belongingness: as the emotional attachment of an individual to a particular place, built up and developed from everyday practices and experiences (Lin and Lockwood, 2014). At the other end of the spectrum a wider dimension to belonging can include a more social component: being welcomed or rejected by the community (marking the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion) (Buonfino and Thomson, 2007).…”
