A significant body of theoretical and empirical studies describes
'sense of place' as an outcome of interconnected psychological,
social and environmental processes in relation to physical
place(s). Sense of place has been examined, particularly in human
geography, in terms of both the character intrinsic to a place as a
localized, bounded and material entity, and the sentiments of
attachment/detachment that humans experience and express in
relation to specific places. Scholars in a wide range of
disciplines are increasingly exploring the relationship between
place and health, and recently, the field of public health has been
encouraged to recognize sense of place as a potential contributing
factor to well-being. It is evident that over the last few decades,
sense of place has developed into a versatile construct. This
important book brings together work related to sense of place and
health, broadly defined, from the perspective of a variety of
fields and disciplines. It will give the reader an understanding of
both the range of applications of this construct within approaches
to human health as well as the breadth of research methodologies
employed in its investigation.
