'Sense of place' has become a familiar phrase, used to describe
emotional attachment to a particular location. As heritage
management policy and practices increasingly attempt to draw on the
views and expressions of interest amongst local communities, it is
important to have a better grasp of what people mean by this
concept, and to assess its uses and implications. Here, a range of
practitioners from NGO, agency, cultural heritage and
archaeological backgrounds review the meanings of 'sense of place',
and where it is useful in the context of heritage management
practice. This volume breaks new ground in specifically addressing
place attachment from a cultural heritage perspective, and drawing
on local and national interests from a diversity of cultural
situations. Illustrated with case studies from around Europe and
Australia, the book addresses key themes, including the rootedness
amongst communities in the past; policy-making for accommodating
senses of place within planning and management, for land- sea- and
city-scapes; official versus unofficial views; and the often
difficult balance between planning policies that extend from
regional to global scale, and local actions and perceptions.
