- Contents in English : This paper explores the overarching concept Sense of place: place identity, place dependence, and place attachment. The question the authors ask in this research is whether the interrelationship between these components corresponds to conventional models of attitude structure. This was tested in the field with property owners. The results suggest that the research is useful and can be correlated with attitudes toward policy scenarios, group-based landscape perceptions, and characteristics of the physical environment in order to identify consequential environmental variables for psychological wellbeing.
