Following on from the ground-breaking first edition, which received
the 2014 EDRA Achievement Award, this fully updated text includes
new chapters on current issues in the built environment, such as
GIS and mapping, climate change, and qualitative approaches. Place
attachments are powerful emotional bonds that form between people
and their physical surroundings. They inform our sense of identity,
create meaning in our lives, facilitate community, and influence
action. Place attachments have bearing on such diverse issues as
rootedness and belonging, placemaking and displacement, mobility
and migration, intergroup conflict, civic engagement, social
housing and urban redevelopment, natural resource management, and
global climate change. In this multidisciplinary book, Manzo and
Devine-Wright draw together the latest thinking by leading scholars
from around the globe, including contributions from scholars such
as Daniel Williams, Mindy Fullilove, Randy Hester, and David
Seamon, to capture significant advancements in three main areas:
theory, methods, and applications. Over the course of fifteen
chapters, using a wide range of conceptual and applied methods, the
authors critically review and challenge contemporary knowledge,
identify significant advances, and point to areas for future
research. This important volume offers the most current
understandings about place attachment, a critical concept for the
environmental social sciences and placemaking professions.
