Sense-of-place writings have proliferated in recent years, yet research suffers from a relative lack of construct clarity and hypothesis testing. This presents model sense place based conventional social psychology: cognitions, attitudes, identities, behavioral intentions located fundamentally about place. A survey property owners Vilas County, Wisconsin, revealed the importance symbolic meanings as underpinning both satisfaction, conceptualized an attitude toward setting, attachment,...
Although sense of place definitions nominally include the physical environment, much research has emphasized social construction and neglect potentially important contributions environment to meanings attachment. This article presents that tests several models integrate (1) characteristics (2) human uses (3) constructed meanings, (4) attachment satisfaction. The utilized a mail survey 1,000 property owners in lake-rich region (the Northern Highlands Lake District Wisconsin). Structural...
It has long been claimed that a better understanding of human or social dimensions environmental issues will improve conservation. The sciences are one important means through which researchers and practitioners can attain understanding. Yet, lack awareness the scope uncertainty about purpose conservation impedes community's effective engagement with dimensions. This paper examines eighteen subfields classic, interdisciplinary applied articulates ten distinct contributions make to improving...
Despite broad recognition of the value social sciences and increasingly vocal calls for better engagement with human element conservation, conservation remain misunderstood underutilized in practice. The can provide unique important contributions to society's understanding relationships between humans nature improving practice outcomes. There are 4 barriers-ideological, institutional, knowledge, capacity-to meaningful integration into conservation. We practical guidance on overcoming these...
Although environmental education research has embraced the idea of sense place, it rarely taken into account psychology-based place literature whose theory and empirical studies can enhance related in context. This article contributes to on from an psychology perspective. We review components including attachment meanings. Then we explore logic evidence suggesting a relationship between attachment, meanings, pro-environmental behavior, factors influencing place. Finally, based this propose...
Over the past 40 years, sense of place concept has been well-established across a range applications and settings; however, most theoretical developments have "privileged slow." Evidence suggests that attachments meanings are slow to evolve, sometimes not matching material or social reality (lag effects), also tending inhibit change. Here, we present some key blind spots in scholarship then suggest how reconsideration as "fast" "slow" could fill them. By this, mean direct immediate...
Abstract Sense of place is rich in theory, but quantitative research approaches often fail to reflect this richness. This schism between theory and application not only impedes the development also ultimate utility concept for integration into resource management planning. Here, several fundamental points sense that can readily be translated testable hypotheses are identified, as suggestions how they may reformulated hypothesis language. composed descriptive evaluative components a function...
AbstractResearch on attachment to high amenity places has usually focused visitors, despite the fact that many of these settings also may hold permanent residents. Visitor employed photography (VEP) been used understand landscape elements increase quality recreational experience. Our research applies techniques VEP analyze local foster place among residents areas. We provided single use cameras 45 subjects in two communities located and adjacent Jasper National Park, Alberta, instructing...
As landscapes change, it is important to understand how attachments and meanings attributed place may affect environmental quality social well-being. To apply sociological insights policy management efforts not sufficient simply demonstrate that individuals or groups have strong emotional connections with a particular geographical locale. Rather, imperative the implications of attachments, related them. We focus our attention in this area on watershed management. Quantitative data are used...
Research suggests that an ecologically informed sense of place, including strong place attachment and ecological meaning, contributes to pro‐environmental behaviors. Yet it is unclear whether intervention such as environmental education can intentionally influence especially in cities. To investigate the impact urban programs on we used pre/post surveys youth 5‐week non‐environmental summer Bronx, New York City, 2010. Results show programs—which engaged high school students stewardship,...
Decades of decline in the number hunters United States have made hunter recruitment and retention (HRR) a high priority within North American wildlife management community. Sociodemographic changes (e.g., urbanization, shifting racial/ethnic composition, parcelization rural properties) suggest need to re-examine conventional knowledge HRR processes develop insight that reflects contemporary contexts. In this article, we emphasize "social habitat" for hunting adopt social–ecological model...

Experimentation as a means of governance for sustainability transitions has been advocated years by transition scholars and geography scholars. We propose that examining the impact experimentation requires an understanding its embeddedness in place socio-spatial context. This notion embeddedness, which conceptually aligns well with sense place, is under-examined literature. By conjoining literatures, we conceptualize can be one outcome fostering transitions. examine urban living labs open...
Sense-of-place research has grown in recent years and attracted interest from a diverse range of disciplines. Beckley (2003 , T. M. 2003 .

Development of unconventional natural gas resources in the Marcellus Shale region northeastern United States has progressed rapidly over last decade. The discourse surrounding such development recalls quarter-century-old debates about positive and negative implications for well-being energy boomtowns. Potential support or opposition relates to trust industry its regulators, perceived knowledge, impacts. Our research project takes advantage opportunity a experiment comparing these elements...
Abstract This study examines the environmental, social, and economic impacts that landowners perceive from simultaneous development of an industrial‐scale wind farm extensive natural gas drilling in area northern Pennsylvania. A mail survey ( N = 1,028) reveals types perceived impact are similar overall, although magnitude positive negative is greater drilling. Impact perception was found to explain a large portion residents' overall attitudes toward energy developments, place meanings for...
Urban environmental education helps students to recognize ecological features and practices of cities. To understand the value practice developing such place meaning, we conducted narrative research with educators in urban programs Bronx, New York City. Narratives showed that are cultivating meaning help appreciate aspects cities, develop their imagination how environment could be improved. Such is nurtured through direct experiences environment, social interactions within educational...
