“…Place attachments are not uniform across communities. We know from the literature that different social groups, for example, second homeowners and local residents, attach different meanings to places (Stedman 2006, Rey-Valette et al 2015. With increasing mobility, the demographics of communities are changing, prompting realignment of relationships between communities and their local place (Kelly and Hosking 2008).…”

ABSTRACT. Community resilience is widely promoted so that communities can respond positively to a range of risks, including shocks, extreme events, and other changes. Although much research has identified characteristics or capacities that confer resilience, resilience is more than simply the sum of these. Resilience is an emergent property-the capacities are linked and act together. We present an empirical analysis of five different capacities and assess how interactions between them confer resilience in two coastal communities in Cornwall, UK. These capacities are place attachment, leadership, community cohesion and efficacy, community networks, and knowledge and learning. Based on a survey and focus group discussions, our results show that residents draw on these capacities in different combinations, enabling resilience in diverse ways. This provides a dynamic and socially nuanced perspective on community resilience as process, potentially informing theory and practice of conservation, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and community development.

“…2009), and key to understanding adaptation to environmental change is clarifying how and when people and communities begin to perceive change as a risk to themselves. To this end, the sense of place literature offers a potentially particularly useful lens for understanding how situated risk is perceived and acted on individually and collectively (Wester-Herber 2004, Billig 2006, Bernardo 2013, De Dominicis et al 2015, Rey-Valette et al 2015.…”

“…Processes of urbanization are particularly prevalent in coastal areas (Surjan et al 2016), where tourists are attracted during high seasons, with wealthy groups investing in second-homes and developing distinct relationships with place (Rey-Valette et al 2015). As a result some coastal regions are experiencing significant shifts in local rural and maritime identities.…”

ABSTRACT. Coastal areas are exposed to changing patterns of mobility and increasingly extreme weather events, offering unique opportunities to study the complexity of adaptation to global changes and the diversity of responses to risk. How individuals and communities respond to risk varies widely, however traditional rationalist and economic based understandings have proved limited in explaining responses to risk. Increasingly social science, and specifically, a focus on peoples' relationships with their local places is providing a useful approach to understanding human responses to place based change. We bring together literature on sense of place, mobility, risk perception, and adaptation and develop a conceptual model to highlight the dynamic links between these processes. In particular we concentrate on a way of understanding risk that focuses on the role of different types of attachments to place. We explore this model using a pilot study (n = 70) and present data that indicates how different types of place attachments are significant in whether people perceive themselves to be at risk of flooding. Our review and results emphasize the interconnectivity of social and environmental change, and suggests that by identifying particular place attachments, as shaped by mobility, we can deepen our understanding of how communities choose to respond to risk.

“…In addition, some studies have focused on the factors driving urbanisation, including the impacts of land market and urban planning policies, which can orient coastal development (Razin 1998;Malvàrez Garcia et al 2003;Crawford 2007;Tang 2008;Abrantes et al 2016). In recent years, coastal submersion and relocation strategies have begun to appear in the scientific literature (Duvat et al 2013;Meur-Férec 2014;Poumadère et al 2015;Rey-Valette et al 2015). Yet despite the number of studies and fields of research, there is a lack of integrated multidisciplinary studies of urban dynamics and their environmental impacts.…”

A framework to analyse urban sprawl in the French Mediterranean coastal zone

et al. 2018

As in many other European countries, urbanisation and urban sprawl along the French Mediterranean coast are a major concern. Understanding this phenomenon requires both multi-level and multidisciplinary approaches. In this perspective, this article presents a framework for the observation and analysis of urban sprawl in the French Mediterranean coastal zone. Developed in the context of a scientific coastal observatory with four contrasting study sites, the framework was designed to structure the observation and analysis of urban sprawl dynamics and their driver variables. Although urban expansion is currently slowing in coastal zones, local exceptions can be found and accounted for by historical urban planning and environmental protection measures, local residential tax policies and contradictory perceptions of coastal zones by residents. Our multidisciplinary initiative is capable of integrating different temporal and spatial scales and has proven relevant in analysing urban sprawl in coastal areas. It shows the need to study coastal areas at finer scales to identify specific dynamics in their local contexts, since these represent the scale at which administrative decisions are made.
