Reconceptualising Sense of Place: Towards a Conceptual Framework for Investigating Individual-Community-Place Interrelationships

While sense of place has been increasingly used in planning literature over the last five decades, its conceptualisation varies by discipline and theoretical orientation, with disjointed elements. This study develops a three-theme conceptual framework articulating individual-community-place interrelationships critically reviewing on place-based constructs attachment, identity, satisfaction. Theorising interactions in-between contributes to debates developing clarity understand context, processes, outcomes, informing decision- policy-making. It also facilitates analysis synthesis complex narratives qualitative studies people-place relations.
