Explicating place identity attitudes, place architecture attitudes, and identification triad theory

Drawing on theories of place identity and social identity, this study explicitly aims to make a theoretical contribution vis-à-vis the internal-stakeholders’ cognitions of place identity attitudes, place architecture attitudes, and identification triad. The research was undertaken within a business school at a time when that school had acquired a new business school building with a distinctive internal architecture. The resultant theoretical framework was based on 309 stakeholder responses, while covariance-based structural equation was used for the data analysis. The findings from the stakeholders' perspectives identify the main components of place identity attitudes and place architecture attitudes. The findings also reveal the importance of place identity attitudes in enhancing place architecture attitudes and stakeholders’ identification. According to the results, there is a relationship between place identity attitudes and identification; corporate visual identity and physical structure and stimuli; and communication and place architecture attitudes. Moreover, certain key implications for place managers and researchers are highlighted

The influence of community factors on the engagement of residents in place promotion: Empirical evidence from an Italian heritage site

The engagement of community residents in place promotion is increasingly recognized as desirable for ensuring effective and reliable communication with tourists. The study investigated the effects of community factors on residents' engagement in the promotion of an Italian heritage site. Community commitment, environmental attitudes, and perceptions of the effectiveness of existing place marketing communications were found to be decisive in influencing residents' engagement in the promotion of the Amalfi Coast. The paper helps to shed light on collaboration in place promotion, thus enriching the debate on the ambassadorship role of residents and suggesting useful insights for policy makers/destination management organization

Network Structure Explains the Impact of Attitudes on Voting Decisions

Attitudes can have a profound impact on socially relevant behaviours, such as voting. However, this effect is not uniform across situations or individuals, and it is at present difficult to predict whether attitudes will predict behaviour in any given circumstance. Using a network model, we demonstrate that (a) more strongly connected attitude networks have a stronger impact on behaviour, and (b) within any given attitude network, the most central attitude elements have the strongest impact. We test these hypotheses using data on voting and attitudes toward presidential candidates in the US presidential elections from 1980 to 2012. These analyses confirm that the predictive value of attitude networks depends almost entirely on their level of connectivity, with more central attitude elements having stronger impact. The impact of attitudes on voting behaviour can thus be reliably determined before elections take place by using network analyses.Comment: Final version published in Scientific Report

Manufactures, archaeology and bygones: making a sense of place in civic museums, 1850-1914

This article considers the extent and nature of the ways in which civic museums created a sense of place in the period 1850-1914. The local has been shown to be constructed in visual culture, such as architecture, paintings and engravings, as well as in civic ritual, but museum collections and displays had the potential to present both emotional and scientific understandings of place together. The article examines the the construction of place through the identification of places with particular industries, through the historicisation of local government, through the display of the distant, archaeological past, and through displays focused on the 'everyday' past which was increasingly seen as imaginatively accessible within and beyond the present. It suggests that throughout the period museums were an important part of localities' attempts to define and enhance local attitudes especially in the face of rivalry or perceived 'London-centric' attitudes. However, they were torn between presenting the locality as progressive and modern, or as historically rooted, forwards or backwards facing; and equally they had to tread a fine line between presenting the locality as parochial or as having a universal importance

The results presented in this summary are based upon England’s national dataset, with reference to international- and European-level findings, and to findings from the IEA Civic Education Study (CIVED), which took place in 1999." - Background

Shaping educational attitudes and aspirations: the influence of parents, place and poverty: stage 1 report

An interim report of a study which aims to better understand the relationship between children’s aspirations in relation to education and employment, and the context in which they are formed. In particular, the study seeks to explore how parental circumstances and attitudes, the school as an institution, and the opportunity structures of the neighbourhood come together to shape aspirations in deprived urban areas. This report examines: • The assumptions of current policy that aspirations are a key ingredient of educational and labour market outcomes; • What aspirations are and how they can be understood; • What young people’s aspirations are for further and higher education and for future occupations in three secondary schools; • The main influences on those aspirations, including the roles of parents, schools and the neighbourhood context • Messages for the second stage of the research and emerging lessons for policy. The report provides some evidence to question the assumption among policy makers that there is a ‘poverty of aspirations’ among young people from disadvantaged backgrounds or living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods

Too love to Support: the Moderating Effect of Place Attachment in Resident Attitude Formation

This study used the social exchange theory and place attachment as the theory basis to explore residents’ attitudes to tourism. Based on a sample of 411 from China, this study concluded that place identity has a significant, negative moderating effect on the relationship between perceived economic impacts, sociocultural impacts and residents’ attitudes to tourism development. The study also finds that residents’ perceived environmental impacts are not positively related to their attitudes towards tourism development. The moderating effect of place attachment shows that place attachment will reduce the effect of perceived benefits of tourism on residents’ favorable attitudes

Home shrines in Britain and associated spiritual values

In a quantitative survey of religious attitudes and practices in a multi-religious sample of 369 school pupils aged between 13 and 15 in London, the presence of a home shrine was found widespread in 11% of adolescents spanning several religious affiliations and ethnicities – especially Buddhists, Hindus and those of Indian, Chinese and ‘Other Asian’ ethnicity. Having a home shrine correlated significantly with spiritual attitudes such as agreement with filial piety, the Eightfold Path, subjectivity of happiness, meditation, Sikh festivals, reincarnation and opening Gurdwaras to all. It is suggested that teachers and the social services should be aware of the importance of shrines to many religious communities and recognize their potential as a spiritual asset and manifestation of religion outside the congregational place of worship
