“…The importance of having a lifespan perspective in this research area has been suggested by Hummon (1992) and other theorists who propose the significance of sense of place in self identity maturation processes (Proshansky, et al, 1983;Sarbin, 1983;Proshansky & Fabian, 1987;Giuliani & Feldman, 1993). While we have some appreciation of the differences in orientation toward and evaluation of places throughout childhood and adolescent stages (Hart, 1979;Chawla, 1992;Korpela, 1989;Malinowski & Thurber, 1996;Hay, 1998;Fried, 2000) little of this research has considered the sentiment of adolescents toward their residential community.…”

This study investigates whether dimensions of sense of place can discriminate those residents who identify with their rural town, and prefer to stay, from those who do not, and whether patterns of association between these dimensions differ between adolescent and adult residents. Participants were 246 adults and 365 adolescents in two remote rural towns in Australia. Place identity was determined from residents' responses on a single item, "I would really rather live in a different town. This one is not the place for me". Three groups were classified, those agreeing, undecided and disagreeing with the statement. Discriminating variables were place attachment (emotional bonding and behavioural commitment), sense of community (affiliation and belonging) and place dependence (available activities, quality and quality comparison with alternative communities). A direct discriminant function analysis showed 76.4 % of adults were correctly classified from one discriminant function accounting for 92 % of the variance. Indicators of dependence, belonging, behavioural commitment and emotional bonding, loaded above .45. Sixty-two percent of adolescents were correctly classified from one discriminant function accounting for 93.6 % of the variance. Indicators of dependence and belonging loaded .45 and above.Discussion considers distinguishing dimensions of sense of place and identifying associations amongst them as ways to explore the experience of community in everyday life.

“…These include sense of place (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2001), place attachment Guiliani & Feldman, 1993), community attachment (Perkins & Long, 2002), neighbourhood attachment (Brown, Perkins, & Brown, 2003;Lewicka, 2010), and connectedness to nature (Gosling & Williams, 2010) among others. An extant review of the literature reveals place attachment as the most popular term used.…”

This paper critically examines the concept of place attachment and its likely influence on proenvironmental behavioural intention of visitors. It considers place attachment as a multidimensional construct comprising place dependence, place identity, place affect, and place social bonding, and suggests that research investigating this relationship in a national park context is fragmented, scattered, and often does not fully consider its multi-dimensional nature. A coherent and integrated approach is needed to advance the field. By considering place attachment as an attitude and acknowledging the close relationship between attitude and behavioural intention when both are directed toward a particular object or environment, the paper develops a conceptual framework that integrates the different place attachment subconstructs. It presents their relationship to pro-environmental behavioural intention as a series of propositions. The framework further considers place satisfaction to exert a direct influence on visitors' pro-environmental behavioural intentions in national parks and a moderating effect on the relationship between the different place constructs and proenvironmental behavioural intention in parks. Finally, the latter construct is proposed to influence visitors' general pro-environmental behavioural intentions. The paper's theoretical contributions, its limitations and its practical implications for sustainable tourism in general and national park management in particular, are discussed.
