Description
Following the success of its award-winning predecessor, which earned the prestigious 2014 EDRA Achievement Award, the newly revised textbook **_Place Attachment: Advances in Theory, Methods, and Applications, 2nd Edition_** (PDF) presents an updated exploration of contemporary challenges in the built environment. This edition introduces insightful chapters addressing vital topics such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), climate change, and innovative qualitative methodologies.
Place attachment, defined as the profound emotional connection between individuals and their environments, plays a pivotal role in shaping our identities, creating meaning, fostering community, and prompting actionable responses. Understanding these attachments is essential for navigating various pressing societal issues, including feelings of belonging and rootedness, placemaking versus displacement, patterns of mobility and migration, instances of intergroup conflict, civic engagement efforts, the dynamics of social housing and urban redevelopment, the stewardship of natural resources, and the overarching impacts of global climate change.
In this interdisciplinary volume, authors **Manzo** and **Devine-Wright** compile cutting-edge insights from leading scholars worldwide, featuring notable contributions from experts such as Daniel Williams, Mindy Fullilove, Randy Hester, and David Seamon. This comprehensive effort captures noteworthy advancements across three primary domains: theory, methodologies, and practical applications. Spanning fifteen chapters, the text rigorously evaluates and challenges existing knowledge, highlights significant progress, and identifies intriguing opportunities for future exploration in the study of place attachment.
The robust and rich content of **_Place Attachment, 2nd Edition_** makes it an indispensable resource for professionals and students in environmental studies, social sciences, and the field of placemaking who wish to deepen their understanding of this critical concept.
