“…The person dimension refers to individually or collectively determined meanings, the place dimension emphasizes the characteristics of a place at the spatial level, and the psychological dimension includes affective, cognitive, and behavioural components. At the same time, studies of home as a multidimensional concept provide a framework for its examination as an integrated unity of physical, sociocultural, psychological, and temporal features (Dovey, 1985;Werner et al, 1985;Sixsmith, 1986;Després, 1991). Therefore, following the three-part framework, questions included 1) social, 2) spatial, and 3) temporal-psychological characteristics.…”

“…How does a city like Tokyo, as a spatial and institutional realm, alter residents' sense of home and level of attachment to the physical environment? This study revisits the concepts of attachment and home through their physical, social, temporal, and psychological aspects following Werner et al (1985) and Scannel and Gifford (2010), with an emphasis on the temporal dimension.…”

“…In the 1970s, the relationship between people and the world through experience transformed an abstract realm of space into an experienced and felt place, and attachment to places has been explored and defined through terms such as topophilia, insideness, and authenticity (Relph, 1976;Tuan, 1977;Werner et al, 1985;Smaldone, 2007). These terms became a common ground for the exploration of spaces and places on different scales and within different borders (either in real, physical entities or within conceptual, abstract, theoretical borders).…”

In highly industrialized and institutionalized societies aiming for maximum efficiency, individual activities must be synchronized with the daily rhythms of a city. As a spatial and institutional realm, the city imposes on people and influences their level of attachment, consequently altering their sense of home. This is most obvious in contemporary cities, where daily life involves movement, and where rest is often sought outside the living place, while on the move. By examining the spatial and temporal aspects of mobility of young Tokyo residents, this article explores how their sense of home and levels of attachment to the physical environment are affected by the city. It reveals a dynamic sense of home in which routes are more significant than roots and in which attachment is not restricted to a single location. Instead, it is understood as attachment to temporal and spatial relationships produced by the activities of people and institutions.

“…The pace of life has been studied in large cities across geographic locations, operationalized as the temporal aspect of various daily behaviors and activities. Early research examined walking speed, the speed with which postal clerks completed a simple request, time punctuality, etc., in downtown areas of large cities (Werner, Altman, and Oxley, 1985). More recent studies searched, for instance, for a rate of tweets on the social media platform Twitter as a function of population density (Gross, Murthy, and Varshney, 2017).…”

Peer Review #2 of "Effect of birdsongs and traffic noise on pedestrian walking speed during different seasons (v0.1)"

Many studies have explored the effects of auditory and visual stimuli on the perception of an environment. However, there is a lack of investigations examining direct behavioral responses to noise in specific environments. In this study, a behavioral variable, walking speed, was analyzed, as a response to the sounds and visual features of a specific environment. The study examined the effects of birdsongs compared to traffic noise on walking speed in a real outdoor urban environment. It was supposed that the interaction of audition and vision in the perception of an environment may also be shaped by the perceived congruence of the visual and auditory features of the environment. The participants (N = 87 and N = 65), young university students, walked along a 1.8-km urban route. They listened to a soundtrack of crowded city noise or birdsongs, or they walked in the real outdoor environment without listening to any acoustic stimuli. To investigate the effect of the congruence between acoustic and visual stimuli, the experiment was conducted in two different seasons (fall and spring). The results did not show significant differences between the crowded city noise condition and the real outdoor condition. Listening to the soundtrack with birdsongs decreased walking speed, but this effect was significant only in the experiment conducted in spring. These findings can be explained in terms of the congruence between the sounds and the visual environment. The findings raise questions regarding the restorative function of urban greenery during different seasons.

“…For example, Saile (1989, 171) shows that the well‐being of the Pueblo people of the US south‐west was ‘grounded’ in place and, in particular, was tied to particular landscapes, springs and fields. Werner et al . (1985) suggest that places are ‘sacred’ to the Zuni (a Pueblo group).…”

Annihilation of both place and sense of place: the experience of the Cheslatta T’En Canadian First Nation within the context of large‐scale environmental projects

The water resources of Canada are today, and have always been, of major importance to the welfare of Canadians. Throughout most of Canada's history, these resources have been viewed within a supply–management framework and, frequently, exploited through the construction of ‘megaprojects’, often with little or no concern for issues such as environmental harm and social and community disruption. As in many parts of the world, those most affected by such large‐scale water resource developments have been aboriginals (in Canada, ‘First Nations’ peoples). Although the issues of environmental, social and economic damage to First Nations as a result of water megaprojects have been investigated, little has been written about the impact of such projects – especially dam construction – on the loss of sense of place of deracinated peoples. This paper investigates one example of such loss of sense of place, that of the Cheslatta T’En forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in the 1950s so as to allow for the construction of a private hydroelectric dam by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan).
