“…According to the analysis of the model institutionally suggested in the study, place attachment has a mediating role between satisfaction and revisit intention. This finding is consistent with the finding of the study by Lee et al (2012), which was carried out with festival participants, as well the study by Isa, Ariyanto and Kiumarsi (2019), which examined the mediating role of place attachment between revisit intention and environmental characteristics for tourists visiting Batam Island in Indonesia. A similar result was found in the study conducted by Su, Hsu, Huang and Chang (2018), which was conducted with sport tourists participating in a triathlon.…”

The urban population is increasing day by day, threatening human health. Neighborhood parks in which people can participate in physical activities have an important place in reducing the negative effects of urban life. However, not much is known much about factors such as "park satisfaction" and "place attachment", which may play a role in the visitors' participation in and continuation of physical activity in neighborhood parks, or the relationship between these factors. The purpose of this study was thus to examine the relationship between park satisfaction, place attachment and revisit intention. The data were obtained using the convenience sampling method from 357 park visitors who visited a park for physical activity. The methodological principles of structural equation modeling were used to test the conceptual model based on the literature review. According to the results, park satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on park attachment. In addition, park attachment played a mediating role between satisfaction and revisit intention. As a result, a theoretical and comprehensive model that revealed the relationship between park satisfaction, park attachment and revisit intention was developed. It is thought that the results will guide local governments, managers responsible for parks and park designers in maintaining open-air recreation facilities and services in urban areas.

“…Other research has suggested that place attachment plays a positive role in both nature and the urban environment for restorative perceptions [ 50 ], while attachment disruption may lead to negative feelings of grief or loss [ 54 ]. Moreover, a few studies have shown the mediating role of place attachment on the relationship between people and their surrounding environments [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. For example, Isa et al and other scholars have found the mediating role of place attachment on the relationship between environment satisfaction and revisit intention [ 57 , 58 ].…”

Urban streets are important public spaces for daily activities that play a crucial role in promoting health in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between perceived street walkability and mood in the elderly, and specifically, the mediating effect of environmental preference and place attachment. We surveyed a total of 269 elderly residents from six streets in Guangzhou, China. We collected assessments of the street environments, environmental preferences, place attachment, and mood status from the elderly. A serial multiple mediator model was constructed using the structural equation modeling method. The results showed that the perceived street walkability was sequentially associated first with an increased level of place attachment (β = 0.798, SE = 0.358, p < 0.000) and then environmental preference (β = 0.191, SE = 0.033, p = 0.038), which was in turn related to improvement of positive mood in the elderly (β = 0.595 SE = 0.341, p < 0.000). Environmental preference alone was found to be significantly associated with positive mood (β = 0.595, SE = 0.341, p < 0.000), while no significant effect of place attachment was found when considered individually (β = −0.075, SE = 0.089, p = 0.395). These findings provide a greater understanding of the possible mechanism through which street environment impacts mood in the elderly. Therefore, when promoting the emotional experience of the elderly, we might consider not only physical environment factors but also psychological conditions in street environments.

“…Tourists are known to develop an affective connection to a particular setting when they find some attraction in the activities, culture, people, and buildings associated with that setting (Zheng et al, 2019). Similarly, when tourists stay in a particular place over some period, they often develop feelings of affection such as joy, love, and positive surprise, which lead eventually to a sense of belonging, and place dependence (Isa et al, 2019). Previous studies have offered positive evidence of the predictive ability of the emotions of joy, love and positive surprise on revisit intention, and have consequently confirmed the predictive ability of place dependence on revisit intention (Abou-Shouk et al, 2018; Hosany et al, 2017; Jiang et al, 2017).…”

“…As tourists’ have more opportunities to visit United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites around the world, they may develop various forms of emotional experiences like joy, love, and positive surprise, and place dependence in respect of these sites. A place that fulfils a visitor’s expectation typically produces a more embedded, extensive and deeper dependence on that place as compared to a place that does not meet the tourist’s expectation (Isa et al, 2019). Indeed, festivals and events that encourage social relationships have been found to enhance place dependence (Prayag and Grivel, 2018), which is accepted as an important indicator linking the apprehension of place suitability and its features to bonding to physical setting as well as to revisit intention (Isa et al, 2019).…”

The purpose for this study is to examine the factors affecting tourists’ revisit intention to UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a developing nation. Additionally, the mediating role of place dependence on this relationship is also inspected. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire from 300 foreign tourists visiting heritage sites in Penang, Malaysia, and were analysed via the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach. Empirical results revealed that emotion of joy, love, and positive surprise, and place dependence affect tourists’ revisit intention to UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a developing nation. Furthermore, the indirect influence of the emotion of positive surprise on tourists’ revisit intention to UNESCO World Heritage Sites via place dependence was the strongest, with the emotions of joy and love ranking behind. The findings suggest that tourism authorities, tourism practitioners, and tourism managements should actively engage with existing tourists and potential tourists via digital marketing platforms and social media marketing tools in order to create long-term engagement and promote the connection of heritage tourism to personal feelings in a memorable way. This permits gathering of high volumes of information from other tourists who share their exciting travel-related details of their visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This study adds the current body of knowledge by furnishing a better empirical understanding of the significant evidence to support the notion that returning tourists (i.e. repeaters) are heavily influenced by emotional aspects and bonding arising from their positive memory during the visit. Directions for future research are also offered.
