How does the Sense of Place Affect Residents'Community Participation?——An Empirical Study
Based on established definitions in international academia,this study divides the sense of place into three dimensions:attachment,identity,and dependence.Drawing on a survey of 1054 respondents,this study employs item analysis,exploratory factor analysis,and confirmatory factor analysis to rigorously evaluate the designed items.Utilizing the validated measurement tool,it investigates the relationship between a sense of place and various forms of community participation behaviors among residents.The results show that residents'identity with a place significantly promotes various community participation behaviors,while functional dependence stimulates residents'willingness to participate and increases their focus on rights-related actions.However,compared to identity and dependence,place attachment,as an emotional connection and support,has a less clear impact on residents'community participation behaviors.In fact,it may even have a negative effect on participation behaviors under external pressure.
