Exam notes for Fieldwork Cultural GeographyChristiaanse, S. & T. Haartsen (2017), The influence of symbolic and emotional meanings of
rural facilities on reactions to closure: The case of the village supermarket.
Place attachment: emotional bonds between people and places
Disruption of place attachment phases: pre-disruption, the disruption, post-disruption (Brown & Perkins)
Psychological response to place change: becoming aware, interpreting, evaluating, coping and acting.
Sense of place = place attachment, place identity and place dependence
- Place attachment: affective bonds between people and places
- Place Identity: how a place can be significant for a person’s identity
- Place dependence: how a place serves a person’s actions and behavior
Sense of place as attitude structure:
- attachment = emotional
- dependence = behavioral
- identity = cognitive
Process, place and person are the factor structures that makes up the meaning of a place.
Methodology
3 section survey: use of spar, reaction to closure and personal characteristics and six statements about place
meaning (model).
• Research: 2 sections:
(1). 1.How do people react to closure of the supermarket?
2. Who (different groups) evaluate closure as negative?
3. Who (different groups) indicate to be dependent on the supermarket for groceries?
(2) 4. What meaning does the supermarket have for respondents?
5. What factors are significant for increasingly negative evaluations of closure of the supermarket?
6. Are ‘place meanings’, constructed through dimensions of Sense of Place, useful in understanding
negative attitudes to closure of the supermarket?
• Analyses: 2 Regression models:
1st With characteristics of person.
2nd statements of place meaning are added.

, Devine-Wright, P. & Y. Howes (2010), Disruption to place attachment and the protection of
restorative environments: A wind energy case study.
NIMBY and place-attachment → disruption of place attachment by energy projects.
Psychological response to place change model: SRT(social representations theory): anchoring and
objectification (from unfamiliar to familiar).
• Research: Three methods: interviews, focus groups and questionnaires.
Place meaning was captured with free association tests: First 3 words.
The following factors were measured:
Place attachment: I feel at home (8 items), 5 point scale) → summed up to create strength of place
attachment.
Trust 5-point scale.
Interpretation of outcomes: anchoring and objectification 1-5
Emotional response: anger, threatened, happy etc.
Attitude to project: support 1-5.
Behavioral response: what action they took.

Gospodini, A. (2007), Urban morphology and place identity in European cities: built heritage
and innovative design.
Place identity generators: Built heritage or innovative design (Research in Bilbao).
Questionnaire under inhabitant and visitors. → Divided in Low, middle and educated class (inhabitants).
Visitors: long and short.
Survey with list of 10 buildings + public space: 5 pictures of heritage and 5 of new innovative design.
3 main questions asked to the inhabitants and visitors:
(1) Which of the listed buildings and open spaces do you think create a distinct and/or unique urban landscape
in Bilbao? Which one do you consider best? And why?
(2) Which of the listed buildings and open spaces give you a sense that space somehow belongs to you or
represents you, in the sense that you are allowed to give your own meaning and interpretation of space? Which
one do you consider best? And why?
(3) As a citizen of Bilbao, which of the listed buildings and public open spaces are a source of ‘civic pride’ for you
and allow you personally to have greater economic expectations from tourism in/the economic development of
Bilbao? Which one do you consider best? And why?
