Testing urban dwellers' sense of place towards leisure and recreational peri-urban green open spaces in two European cities
Žlender, Vita ; Gemin, Stefano
This study uses sense of place to empirically compare, in two case study cities, how people connect with the peri-urban green space which they visit most often for their leisure activities. Based on ...a literature review and identified gaps in previous research, we developed a conceptual model which explains the factors that contribute to how people form a sense of place. We hypothesize that involvement with and appreciation of peri-urban green spaces, used by urban dwellers for leisure activities, are reflected in people's sense of (peri-urban) place. Furthermore, we hypothesize that sense of place affects people's place-concerning behaviour towards peri-urban green spaces, fact which can contribute to the planning and management of peri-urban areas. Principal components analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to test the study hypotheses using data collected from 328 inner-city dwellers in Ljubljana and Edinburgh. Results indicate positive and significant effects of place involvement and appreciation on sense of place, and positive and significant effects of sense of place on place-concerning behaviour. Findings demonstrate that understanding people's sense of place towards peri-urban green spaces is crucial for promoting place-concerning behaviour and, consequently, prioritizing effective policy responses to ensure the sustainable future of these areas.
