“…Urban trees have also been shown to moderate urban climate (Oke 1989), improve air quality (Smith 1990), help control flooding and rainfall runoff (Sanders 1986), reduce urban noise levels (Cook 1978), provide a habitat for urban wildlife (Johnson 1988), reduce human stress levels (Ulrich 1984), enhance the attractiveness of cities (Schroeder 1989), significantly contribute to child development (Taylor et al 1998), positively contribute to the social fabric of inner-city neighborhoods (Brunson, Kuo and Sullivan 2000), and promote social integration of older adults with their neighbors (Kweon, Sullivan, and Wiley 1998). While there are inherent costs to the planting and maintenance of urban trees, they are one of the largest contributors to improved urban qualities of life (Grey and Deneke 1986).…”

The Scalar Production of Injustice within the Urban Forest

Research has recently argued, quite successfully, for a more dialectic appreciation of urban nature/society relations. Despite this progress, there is still the need to recognize that the social production of urban environments explicitly leads to uneven urban environments and environmental injustice. Environmental inequalities clearly exist within cities; when taking into account how environmental externalities play out at different scales, the degree to which something is unjust becomes less clear. This paper discusses how the scales at which socially produced urban forest externalities play out pose difficulties for considering environmental injustice. This issue, while interesting from the point of view of considering scalar nature/social dialects, also makes policy considerations for urban reforestation problematic as a result of the ways in which urban forests contribute to local/global ecological scenarios.

“…This aspect of the relationship between person and place in the research called the "attractiveness" for "attachment". Other researchers (Cantrill and Senecag, 2000, Kitayama and Marcus 1994, Moore and Graefe 1994, Schroeder 1991 argued that this type of meanings be changed over time and believed that a variety of place attachment be created in different forms. Over time, unlike the early stages of a person's relationship with places, more social and emotional relationships with places seem to be more prominent, while physical environments are often very important.…”

“…For example, someone can describe the beauty (or ugliness) in a place, however, this response may sometimes be superficial and short. According to Schroeder (1991), this is a distinction is in which the "meaning" is in front of "trends". He described meaning as "thoughts, emotions, memories, and perceptions arising from the impact of a Landscape", and described the trend as "a tendency to a landscape in comparison with others".…”

Quantitative studies have shown that the duration of the relationship is considered an important variable in the development of place attachment. However, the study of place attachment and the meaning of this attachment do not provide us much information. The present study was conducted to explain the relationship between time and place attachment in two groups including travelers and natives who were presented in Javaherdeh region of Ramsar. The results showed that the duration of the relationship plays an important role in the process that connects people with place and finally, there are different ways in which the time is effective in the formation of meanings in a place. Keywords: place attachment, time, Javaherdeh region of Ramsar INTRODUCTIONDifferent concepts of attachment between people and places are presented and studied. Among the most common are concepts of place attachment and sense of place (SOP). What can be seen in the latest systematic studies regarding the attachment to a place is dealing with the importance of time in a place (that is, the duration of the relationship with a place). Since both authors and researchers (Lu and Altman, 1992;Moore and Graefe, 1994; Ralph, 1976; Tuan, 1977) believed that time and experience in a place are important factors in deepening the meanings and emotional ties needed in relationship between human and space, few depth investigations have studied these factors and their role in shaping this relationship. Therefore, this study attempts to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of "time variable" on the relationship between the visitors and local people at Javaherdeh region of Ramsar.

“…It should be noted that context of the special place is very important in evaluating its senses (Bricker & Kerstetter, 2002). In this paper, three perspectives on places and place attachment were examined: 1) Perspective of Schroeder (1991): "Meaning against preference" 2) Long-term social bonds against immediate attraction of the physical environment, by Kitayama & Markus (1994), and 3) Place identity against place dependence (Moore and Graefe, 1994;Williams et al, 1992). These perspectives are linked together and actually explain a single phenomenon.…”

Person-place models show that there are complex and multidimensional bonds between individuals and places. Since some of researchers believe that familiarity duration with a place is an effective factor for place bonding, there is almost no data to prove this hypothesis, and even it is not clear that how and why does time affect these bonds? In the present study, comments of Javaherdeh recreation area visitors were used in order to prove and describe the role of time in devoting sense of place. Questionnaire was the main tool used in this study. Content validity and Cronbach's alpha methods were used to determine validity and reliability of the questionnaire, respectively. The results showed that there are significant differences between people who had a special place and those who did not have a special place, based on visit characteristics including repeated visits, maintaining the bond, and duration of stay. Moreover, a significant difference was observed between familiarity of visitors and sense of place. In this study, the physical environment was considered important in the case of short-term familiarity with other places, while social relationships, homes, and ceremonies were considered important in the case of a longer-term familiarity. The results showed that a longer-term familiarity with a place converts the basis of physical attachment into social attachment. Furthermore, longer-term familiarity with a place will lead to a higher place attachment. Keywords: Place Attachment, Place Meanings, Time INTRODUCTIONThe studies on places and their senses includes a variety of fields such as philosophy, literature, anthropology, geography, sociology, natural resources and architecture (Casey 1997; Caltbron 1998; Lowe and Altman 1992;Manzo 2005;Relph 1976; Tiger and Azal 1996; William and Stewart, 1998). Although most people agree with that place and time are an important part of human life, but the effect of time on our relationship with place has been ignored. The present study investigated the effect of time on relationship of individuals with place. To this aim, perspectives of researchers such as Relph (1976), Tuan (1977), William Peterson, (1994 were used in the present study, who believe that human is the creator of places. Human lives in the geographical space, once he gives it a personal meaning, he calls it "Place" (Casey 1997). Relph (1976), a human geographer, states that places are centers of actions and intentions which have special places in space and time. People focus on place and distinguish it from the surrounding environment, while it is a part of that environment. For years, concepts of the relationship between human and environment were studied, and the terms of place attachment (Lowe and Altman 1992;Williams et al. 1992), sense of place (Kantril 1998; Hay 1998; Shamay 1991;Stedman 2002; Estelle 1981;Williams and Stewart, 1998), place identity (Proshanski, Fabian and Kaminof 1983), and place dependence (Stokelz, 1981; Schumacher, 1983) have been widely used. Sense of place is a...
