Description

'Sense of place' has become a familiar phrase, used to describe emotional attachment to a particular location. Here, a diverse range of practitioners from NGO, agency and cultural heritage/archaeology backgrounds review the meanings of the concept, and assess its usefulness in heritage management practice. The book breaks new ground, addressing place attachment from a cultural heritage perspective, and drawing on local and national interests from a diversity of cultural situations.
