“…Place attachment research has been carried out and continues to develop in the scientific perspectives of psychology [11], geography [12], sociology [4], anthropology [13], urban [14], landscape [12], architecture [15], while the research methods used in place attachment studies are qualitative, quantitative and a combination of both (triangulation) methods [9]. Furthermore, data collection methods and analysis are also diverse, namely questionnaires, questionnaires with a Likert scale [16], PPGIS (Public Participatory Geographic Information System) [12], crowd-sourcing mapping methods [12], semi-structured interviews [16], depictions [4], simulations & virtual simulations [14], in dept interviews [17], observation, exploration [18], PCL, manova [19], and other statistical programs.…”

Place attachment is a scientific part in studying the relationship between human behavior and the built environment. It is widely used in sciences, especially in environmental psychology. However, only a few researchers are taking part in developing place attachment in a religious built environment, especially religious places. Place Attachment was compiled from various scientific perspectives in order to obtain comprehensive results, where literature review and discussion will describe the importance of this research. This study is expected to be able to examine a relationship between human behavior and built environment holistically in the context of preserving the religious-based built environment through place attachment theory. This paper shows that there is an opportunity for place attachment theory, which supports the preservation of the religious-based built environment with interdisciplinary studies in order to obtain holistic results. Moreover, qualitative, quantitative, and triangulation methods can be used for place attachment framework in preservation religious built environment research.

“…Many rural residents feel a sense of loss associated with such dramatic changes in their landscape [7]. Even worse, because of the loss in local distinctiveness and a diluted uniqueness of regions, the emotional bonds between people and the countryside are weakening.…”

Rural residential settings are important elements of livable and sustainable rural areas across the world. Enhancing people’s attachment to these landscapes through fostering feelings of homesickness could help in the pursuit of better rural residential settings. We studied homesickness, an emotion found to be associated with higher place attachment and quality of life, related to rural landscapes in southeast China, looking specifically at the presence and configuration of rural dwellings and trees. We used Photoshop to manipulate different configurations of typical rural dwellings and trees, and three series with twelve types of landscape scenes were generated. We looked at the following six emotional factors linked to homesickness: naturalness; regional culture; identity; psychology; experience; and landscape aesthetics. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and semantic differential (SD) methods were used to evaluate the level in which the landscape evoked feelings of homesickness amongst study participants, i.e., a group of university students from different disciplines. Results show that the homesickness emotional response level was higher in most of the simulated landscapes, as compared to the original landscape, and that response levels differed significantly between the three types of visualized landscape configurations. The emotional response level showed differences for manipulated landscape scenes with twelve different trees added to dwellings. Through cluster analysis of the results, we divided trees into three grades of emotional response for each dwelling type. Adding trees thus was found to change the emotional response to the landscape, and different tree configurations with different types of dwellings results in different responses. The study shows that careful design of the rural landscape can help build stronger emotional relations of humans with their local environment, which is a key ingredient for sustainable countryside living.

“…Importantly, attachment to place is usually more than attachment to a physical locale (but cf. Cassidy & McGrath, 2015;Morse & Mudgett, 2017;Arthun, 2011 andWiborg, 2004 on the significance of land among return migrants who grew up in farming families). Rather, young people are attached to the symbolism around a place (Wiborg, 2004, p. 428), and to a number of cultural or social values that are distinct in that location.…”

The economic crash in Iceland created a sense of social and political collapse that extended far beyond the economic realm. Calls for a “New Iceland” were invoked, where the Icelandic political arena would be “cleaned” and reimagined in drastic ways. In this article, I explore how ideas circulating in the wider European region about how Icelanders dealt exceptionally well with the crisis not only failed to reflect the lived effects of the collapse but also echoed long-standing nationalist ideals of Icelanders’ imagined reality of themselves. I show how nation branding in Iceland after 2010 added to the conception that Iceland dealt with the crisis in an exceptional way, and I critically ask why Iceland received such a positive depiction in the international media.
