- Contents in English : Sense of place, or the meanings and attachment to a setting held by an individual or group, is increasingly garnering attention in popular and academic writings, yet there have been few attempts to build systemic theory, and there remains a lack of agreement on the meaning of core concepts. This article translates places terminology into social psychology concepts with well-established measures and a strong tradition of hypothesis testing. Along with considering sense of place in this manner, the author addresses a neglected area in sense-of-place-theory: behavioural implications of sense of place.
