Place Bonding for Recreation Places: Conceptual and Empirical Development

Place bonding is a common phenomenon in many recreation areas, where people develop an affective and cognitive based attachment to special resource settings.

description Place bonding is a common phenomenon in many recreation areas, where people develop an affective and cognitive based attachment to special resource settings. Conceptually, place bonding is fairly well understood; empirically it is less so. In this study, a five dimensional orientation to place bonding of trout anglers for a wild and scenic stream was conceptually and empirically developed. The dimensions of place familiarity, belongingness, identity, dependence, and rootedness were examined by having respondents ( n = 203) rate a 26-item scale of recreation place bonding. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses produced a five-dimension solution to place bonding. The five-dimensional model was examined for convergent validity and predictive validity, with the latter predicting 75% of variance in an overall measure of place bonding. Research and management implications are discussed for recreation resource place bonding.
