Book Synopsis Place Attachment by : Lynne C. Manzo
Download or read book Place Attachment written by Lynne C. Manzo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from the ground-breaking first edition, which received the 2014 EDRA Achievement Award, this fully updated text includes new chapters on current issues in the built environment, such as GIS and mapping, climate change, and qualitative approaches. Place attachments are powerful emotional bonds that form between people and their physical surroundings. They inform our sense of identity, create meaning in our lives, facilitate community, and influence action. Place attachments have bearing on such diverse issues as rootedness and belonging, placemaking and displacement, mobility and migration, intergroup conflict, civic engagement, social housing and urban redevelopment, natural resource management, and global climate change. In this multidisciplinary book, Manzo and Devine-Wright draw together the latest thinking by leading scholars from around the globe, including contributions from scholars such as Daniel Williams, Mindy Fullilove, Randy Hester, and David Seamon, to capture significant advancements in three main areas: theory, methods, and applications. Over the course of fifteen chapters, using a wide range of conceptual and applied methods, the authors critically review and challenge contemporary knowledge, identify significant advances, and point to areas for future research. This important volume offers the most current understandings about place attachment, a critical concept for the environmental social sciences and placemaking professions.

Book Synopsis Explorations in Place Attachment by : Jeffrey Smith
Download or read book Explorations in Place Attachment written by Jeffrey Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the unique contribution that geographers make to the concept of place attachment, and related ideas of place identity and sense of place. It presents six types of places to which people become attached and provides a global range of empirical case studies to illustrate the theoretical foundations. The book reveals that the types of places to which people bond are not discrete. Rather, a holistic approach, one that seeks to understand the interactive and reinforcing qualities between people and places, is most effective in advancing our understanding of place attachment.
Book Synopsis Promoting Community Resilience in Disasters by : Kevin Ronan
Download or read book Promoting Community Resilience in Disasters written by Kevin Ronan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A myriad of models are available to guide practice before, during, and following disasters. As emphasized in this book, we value the role of research in informing our assessment, education, and intervention efforts in this area. Keeping an eye on those elements that have research backing certainly assists with quality control generally. However, more specifically, we also stress the idea that there is evidence to support a role for hope and positive expectations in the motivation and engagement process. In addition, the more that people, including youth and adults, actively participate in efforts designed to help, the more benefits they tend to receive. The role of research in providing that initial hope and inspiring more active engagement with internal and external resources before, during, and after a disaster is part of the foundation of our practice in this area. In fact, in the clinical psychology training program directed by the senior author, the idea that we attempt to inculcate with our trainees is the idea of “hope and engagement on an evidence-based foundation.” Consequently, we do advocate for models of practice that have identified “active ingredients” that are included: those particularly identified through controlled evaluation research. However, it is also the case that a number of risk and protective factors identified through a number of studies (e.g., see Chapter 2) have as yet to be systematically included.

Book Synopsis Home Sweet Home by : Charis Elizabeth Anton
Download or read book Home Sweet Home written by Charis Elizabeth Anton and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When places are threatened, people who reside in them are often reminded of the emotional bonds they have with that place. These bonds can motivate people to engage in place-protective behaviours in an attempt to stop whatever is threatening to change the place. These emotional bonds with a place are commonly termed place attachment. There are many conceptualisations of place attachment, but it is often theorised to be composed of an emotional/symbolic component and a functional component. These components are termed place identity and place dependence respectively. The aim of this thesis was to measure the relationship between living in a threatened place and place attachment and to explore the relationship between place attachment and place-protective behaviours. There were two different place-protective actions measured: bushfire mitigation and preparation and collective action.The first study (Chapter Two) aimed to find out if place-protective actions in the form of bushfire mitigation and preparation were predicted by place attachment. Australia is the most bushfire-prone country in the world. Fires occur frequently, making it vital for people living in bushfire-prone areas to constantly be prepared and to have acted to mitigate the risk of their homes burning down. Previous studies have found that place attachment is related to disaster preparation and mitigation, to varying degrees. The results of the first study supported this and found that people living in rural bushfire-prone areas implemented more mitigation measures if they were strongly attached to their homes. However, there was no relationship between place attachment and fire mitigation for people who lived in urban-fringe areas (or the wildland-urban interface), even though the two groups had similar levels of place attachment and a similar fire risk.The second study (Chapter Three) tested the proposal that people who live in threatened places would report stronger place attachment than people living in places which are not threatened. The first study found that people living in threatened rural and urban-fringe places reported similar levels of place attachment. In the second study these two samples were compared to people living in the centre of rural towns and people living in the inner-city. It was hypothesised that as the latter two places have a lower bushfire threat they would report lower place attachment. The results suggest there is no difference in place attachment between people living in rural towns and people living in less built up rural areas. Both of these groups, along with the urban-fringe sample, reported significantly higher place dependence than the inner-city sample. This suggests that living in a place threatened by bushfire reminds people of their dependence on their homes. The rural groups also reported significantly stronger place identity than the urban groups, suggesting that people who live in the country, far from amenities and services, may do so because being a 'country person' is part of their identities. People who live in more urban areas may do so for convenience rather than because they feel that being urban is part of their identities.The aim of the third study (Chapter Four) was investigate whether the findings from the first two studies applied to a different threat. The threat focused on in this study was changes to local government boundaries and the place-protective action was protesting. It was hypothesised that, similarly to the first two studies, people who felt that the changes were threatening to the identity of their local areas would report stronger place attachment and that place attachment would predict protesting. The hypotheses were partially supported. People who thought that the changes would be negative for their local areas reported significantly higher place dependence than people who thought that the changes would be positive. This was not found for place identity. Place attachment was correlated with protesting but did not predict protesting over the theory of planned behaviour, which measured attitudes about the importance of protesting, family and friend norms regarding protesting and perceived behavioural control.Together, these three studies examine the effects of living in a threatened place on place attachment and how place attachment is related to place-protective actions. Place attachment, particularly place dependence, was found to be stronger in people who live in threatened places, or at least perceive that they do. Place attachment was found to be related to place protective behaviours but did not always predict them.
Book Synopsis Disasters and Social Resilience by : Helen J. Boon
Download or read book Disasters and Social Resilience written by Helen J. Boon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interconnectedness of communities, organisations, governing bodies, policy and individuals in the field of disaster studies has never been accurately examined or comprehensively modelled. This kind of study is vital for planning policy and emergency responses and assessing individual and community vulnerability, resilience and sustainability as well as mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts; it therefore deserves attention. Disasters and Social Resilience fills this gap by introducing to the field of disaster studies a fresh methodology and a model for examining and measuring impacts and responses to disasters. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory, which is used to look at communities holistically, is outlined and illustrated through a series of chapters, guiding the reader from the theory's underpinnings through research illustrations and applications focused on each level of Bronfenbrenner’s ecosystems, culminating in an integration chapter. The final chapter provides policy recommendations for local and national government bodies and emergency providers to help individuals and communities prepare and withstand the effects of a range of disasters. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of disaster and emergency management, disaster readiness and risk reduction (DRR), and to scholars and students of more general climate change and sustainability studies.
Book Synopsis Collective Trauma, Collective Healing by : Jack Saul
Download or read book Collective Trauma, Collective Healing written by Jack Saul and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective Trauma, Collective Healing is a guide for mental health professionals working in response to large-scale political violence or natural disaster. It provides a framework that practitioners can use to develop their own community based, collective approach to treating trauma and providing clinical services that are both culturally and contextually appropriate. Clinicians will come away from the book with a solid understanding of new roles that health and mental health professionals play in disasters—roles that encourage them to recognize and enhance the resilience and coping skills in families, organizations, and the community at large. The book draws on experience working with survivors, their families, and communities in the Holocaust, postwar Kosovo, the Liberian civil wars, and post-9/11 lower Manhattan. It tracks the development of community programs and projects based on a family and community resilience approach, including those that enhance the collective capacities for narration and public conversation.

Book Synopsis Displaced by Disaster by : Ann-Margaret Esnard
Download or read book Displaced by Disaster written by Ann-Margaret Esnard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Displacement has traditionally been conceptualized as a phenomenon that results from conflict or other disruptions in developing or unstable countries. Hurricane Katrina shattered this notion and highlighted the various dilemmas of population displacement in the United States. The dilemmas stem from that of inconsistent terminology and definitions; lack of efforts to quantify displacement risk potential and that factor displacement vulnerability into community plans; lack of understanding of differential needs of "displacees" especially during long-term recovery periods; and policy and institutional responses (or lack thereof) especially as it relates to post-disaster sheltering and housing. Incorporating relevant examples, cases, and policies Esnard and Sapat look at the experience of other countries and how the international community has dealt with hundreds of thousands of individuals who have been forced to leave their homes. Displaced by Disaster addresses such issues from a planning and policy perspective informed by scholarship in disciplines such as emergency management; political science; sociology and anthropology. It is ideal for students and practitioners working in the areas of disaster management, planning, public administration and policy, housing, and the many disciplines connected to disaster issues.
Book Synopsis Place Attachment, Place-identity, Self-formation, and Imagination by : Nancy E. Woods
Download or read book Place Attachment, Place-identity, Self-formation, and Imagination written by Nancy E. Woods and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study utilized a critical review of the literature to define a theory of the relationships among place attachment, place-identity, self-formation and imagination. Place attachment and the meaning that the person assigns to place recursively inform place identity. Place identity is that part of self-identity that consists of memories, emotion and meaning that is related to the physical settings with which the person becomes associated and identified. The processes in and by which place identity emerges are imagination, memory and emotion. Thus, self-formation is informed by place attachment and place identity. Viewed systemically, these concepts, in process, inform a narrative construction of like structure, as defined in life span development theory. The integration of place attachment and place identity in the narrative construction of self is illustrated in a case example.
Book Synopsis Building Resilience by : Daniel P. Aldrich
Download or read book Building Resilience written by Daniel P. Aldrich and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factor that makes some communities rebound quickly from disasters while others fall apart: “A fascinating book on an important topic.”—E.L. Hirsch, in Choice Each year, natural disasters threaten the strength and stability of communities worldwide. Yet responses to the challenges of recovery vary greatly and in ways that aren’t explained by the magnitude of the catastrophe or the amount of aid provided by national governments or the international community. The difference between resilience and disrepair, as Daniel P. Aldrich shows, lies in the depth of communities’ social capital. Building Resilience highlights the critical role of social capital in the ability of a community to withstand disaster and rebuild both the infrastructure and the ties that are at the foundation of any community. Aldrich examines the post-disaster responses of four distinct communities—Tokyo following the 1923 earthquake, Kobe after the 1995 earthquake, Tamil Nadu after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, and New Orleans post-Katrina—and finds that those with robust social networks were better able to coordinate recovery. In addition to quickly disseminating information and financial and physical assistance, communities with an abundance of social capital were able to minimize the migration of people and valuable resources out of the area. With governments increasingly overstretched and natural disasters likely to increase in frequency and intensity, a thorough understanding of what contributes to efficient reconstruction is more important than ever. Building Resilience underscores a critical component of an effective response.
Book Synopsis The Handbook of Disaster and Emergency Policies and Institutions by : John Handmer
Download or read book The Handbook of Disaster and Emergency Policies and Institutions written by John Handmer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters both natural and human-induced are leading to spiralling costs in terms of human lives, lost livelihoods and damaged assets and businesses. Yet these consequences and the financial and human crises that follow catastrophes can often be traced to policies unsuited to the emerging scales of the problems they confront, and the lack of institutional capacity to implement planning and prevention or to manage disasters. This book seeks to overcome this mismatch and to guide development of a policy and institutional framework. For the first time it brings together into a coherent framework the insights of public policy, institutional design and emergency and disaster management.

Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined the psychological construct of place attachment in Louisiana and Mississippi residents [N = 6] who experienced forced relocation in 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina and ensuing events. The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences related to place attachment of relocated individuals who returned home and those who did not. Using phenomenological methodology, the study yielded five common themes from the experiences of the participants: (1) home as the primary place of attachment; (2) neighborhood places as supportive settings; (3) the return decision as a significant life stressor; (4) psychological distress magnified by inconsistent disaster recovery responses; (5) the transition process. Sub-themes included: (a) multidimensional conceptualizations of home; (b) the first post-disaster visit; (c) levels of apperception and significance of place; (d) fluid boundaries of place; (e) emergent feelings and protective resilience processes; (f) the kindness of strangers; (g) transitional objects. The study includes a review of place attachment literature, a discussion of negatively valenced places, and a description of place attachment reflected in popular culture and the arts.
