The purpose of this study is to identify the physical, social and demographic variables related to and associating with place attachment construct on a neighborhood level. Place attachment has proved through literature to relate to the stability, livability and regeneration of neighborhoods. Place attachment as a multi-dimensional construct incorporates several aspects of people-place bonding and many inseparable, mutually defining features. It measures the affective and multidimensional ties that occur between individuals and their meaningful places. Place attachment is nourished through the daily encounter with the environment and neighbors and the affective feelings and beliefs about home and neighborhood. It is assumed through literature that the strength of the connection to a place is determined by this place's social amenities, residential choices, local social networks, individual needs, and personality styles. Moreover, place attachment research has mostly focused on the social and phenomenological perspectives of attachment. However, it lacks the focus on the relationship between the physical features on the neighborhood built environment and the generation of the sense of attachment. It is hypothesized that attachment to a place is a manifestation of attachment to people and social networks and not to the physical place itself or its features. As a result, the role of place attachment in the planning theory and design practice has been neglected and under-used.

520 $a The purpose of this study is to identify the physical, social and demographic variables related to and associating with place attachment construct on a neighborhood level. Place attachment has proved through literature to relate to the stability, livability and regeneration of neighborhoods. Place attachment as a multi-dimensional construct incorporates several aspects of people-place bonding and many inseparable, mutually defining features. It measures the affective and multidimensional ties that occur between individuals and their meaningful places. Place attachment is nourished through the daily encounter with the environment and neighbors and the affective feelings and beliefs about home and neighborhood. It is assumed through literature that the strength of the connection to a place is determined by this place's social amenities, residential choices, local social networks, individual needs, and personality styles. Moreover, place attachment research has mostly focused on the social and phenomenological perspectives of attachment.

520 $a This study is an attempt to discover features in the built environment that relate to nurturing place attachment on a neighborhood level. It is also intended to broaden the understanding of the relationship between a neighborhood's physical and social environment and place attachment. The study hypothesizes that a group of physical, social, and demographic variables are associated with place attachment on a neighborhood level. Through this case study research project, a correlational approach was adopted and multiple research methods were utilized, including questionnaire, interviews, and GIS.
520 $a The study found that the participants' positive perception of specific physical features is associated with place attachment on a neighborhood level. These physical features are: the neighborhood location in relation to downtown and good schools; the street quality and walkability; the variety of amenities in and around the neighborhood; and parks and playgrounds. In addition, a group of social variables reflecting participants' social experiences and activities relate to levels of place attachment on a neighborhood level. These social variables are: the number of friends in the neighborhood; residential satisfaction with neighborhood and community; informal meetings with neighbors to discuss neighborhood problems; attending neighborhood events and gatherings; and the neighborhood cultural aspects represented in values such as diversity and tolerance. Age and marital status are the only demographic variables that were found to correlate to the levels of place attachment. Other demographic variables that were proved throughout the literature to relate to place attachment such as homeownership and length of residency did not show a significant association with place attachment through this study.
