Abstract:
Placeness is believed to play a significant role in enhancing the well-being and place-use of individuals, contributing profoundly to how spaces are experienced and interacted with. Despite its perceived importance, there is ongoing debate and insufficient clarity about how exactly placeness influences people\'s behavior. This study aims to bridge this gap by theorizing and investigating the pathways from placeness to people\'s behavioral intentions, emphasizing the roles of personal place attachment and public place image as pivotal mediators in this relationship. To explore these dynamics, we conducted a survey in Japan, examining the complex interplay between placeness and behavioral intentions, given their rich cultural heritage and modern urban pressures. We employed the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach for path analysis. The analysis suggests that placeness influences behavioral intention through personal place attachment. While placeness does affect public place image, this public image does not have an impact on behavioral intention. The results demonstrated that an individual\'s activities, experiences, and cognition of a place are significant factors in creating the intention to engage in word-of-mouth, recommendation, and revisiting behaviors. Policymakers, urban planners, and designers need to understand how to foster people\'s behavioral intentions when creating a place imbued with placeness.
摘要:
placeness被认为在提高个人的福祉和使用场所方面发挥着重要作用,对空间如何体验和互动做出了深刻的贡献。尽管它被认为是重要的,关于placeness到底是如何影响人们的行为的,目前仍在争论和不清楚。本研究旨在通过理论化和调查从地点到人们行为意图的途径来弥合这一差距,强调个人场所依恋和公共场所形象在这种关系中的关键作用。为了探索这些动态,我们在日本进行了一项调查,检查placeness和行为意图之间复杂的相互作用,鉴于其丰富的文化遗产和现代城市的压力。我们采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)方法进行路径分析。分析表明,地点通过个人的位置依恋影响行为意图。虽然地点确实会影响公共场所的形象,这种公众形象对行为意图没有影响。结果表明,一个人的活动,经验,对一个地方的认知是创造口碑意图的重要因素,recommendation,重新审视行为。政策制定者,城市规划者,和设计师需要了解如何培养人的行为意图,当创建一个充满了placeness的地方。
