“…Exposed to a given local context, individuals develop an attachment to their local community and the place in which they live, which creates the ground for a shared, place-based social identity among them (Agnew, 1987). Their local environment can instill a deep-rooted sense of belonging in individuals, which even allows them to counterbalance their experiences in an increasingly globalized world (Inglis & Donnelly, 2011). Enos (2017) draws attention to the social dimension of both historical and contemporary geographies, highlighting that this social dimension of space is critical for the development of a place-based identity among individuals.…”

While a large body of literature empirically documents an electoral advantage for local candidates, the exact mechanisms accounting for this effect remain less clear. We integrate theories on the political geography of candidate-voter relations with socio-psychological accounts of citizens’ local attachment, arguing that citizens vote for candidates from their own local communities as an expression of their place-based identity. To test our argument, we exploit a unique feature of the German mixed-member electoral system. We identify the causal effect of candidates’ localness by relying on within-electoral-district variation coupled with a geo-matching strategy on the level of municipalities ($$\hbox {N}=11175$$ N = 11175 ). The results show that voters exhibit a strong bias in favor of local candidates even when they are not competitive. More than only expecting particularistic benefits from representatives, citizens appear to vote for candidates from their own local community to express their place-based social identity.

“…From this approach, tradition value is a consequence of a strongly personal self-conception of local belongings. A strong feeling of local belongings generates a strong feeling of tradition attachment as a form to make their geographic identification public (Inglis and Donnelly, 2011). Consequently, different social backgrounds will result in distinct levels of local tradition valuation (Brehm et al, 2006).…”

PurposeThis research aims to develop and test the traditionscapes framework in which consumers appropriate local traditions as a resource to foster cultural identity in emerging markets.Design/methodology/approachA multi-level research approach with qualitative (n = 38) and quantitative data (n = 600) was employed in the context of gaucho traditions in the southern part of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul state).FindingsThe findings indicate that traditionscapes operate in a fluid process that engenders local culture attachment into tradition value through the consumer identification process. Traditionscapes build a sense of local cultural attachment that functions as a source of social, cultural, and local identification. Findings also support our three-stage traditionscapes framework, emphasizing the identification process that depends on consumers' global culture resistance.Originality/valueThis research provides a novel viewpoint to the well-established relationship between tradition and globalization in consumption studies. We contribute to this debate by shifting the discussion to the fluid process of traditionscapes in which tradition value is engendered through consumer appropriation and identification with local traditions, even in a globalized context. Although recent research suggests that global culture can disrupt local traditions, traditionscapes operate as an extended perspective that coexists with other global cultural flows.

“…Whitlock (2007, p.500) asserts that 'there remains little doubt that healthy development and wellbeing are intrinsically linked to a sense of belonging and meaning within larger social and community groups'. Some 6 have argued that, in an increasingly urbanised and globalised society, opportunities for young people to develop a sense of place or belonging are reducing (Inglis and Donnelly, 2011).…”

Spaces of connection and belonging: young people’s perspectives on the role of youth cafés in their lives

A youth café is a relaxed, drug and alcohol free meeting space for young people. The youth café model has become a prominent form of policy provision for young people in Ireland over the past decade, with in excess of 160 youth cafes now in operation. While the youth cafe model is not unique to Ireland, there has been little published research internationally on the perspectives of young people regarding the role of youth cafes in their lives. Drawing on qualitative research with 102 young people in ten youth cafes in Ireland, this article presents findings in relation to six thematic areas; feeling supported, belonging and connection, personal and identity development, safety, alcohol and drugs and education. The findings indicate that the attraction of the model for young people is that it respects their individualised preferences for engagement, whilst providing them with a sense of ownership and connection. It is argued that the values and principles underpinning the model are instrumental in creating 'care-full' spaces that enhance the well-being of children and young people.
