It has been often pointed out that the residents'
"attachment" to the place where they live is essential factor for
the community maintenance and development. A purpose of this study is to redefine the concept of "place attachment"
in Japanese context, and to
examine a a hypothesis that place attachment is promoted by a supplying of
residents several local information about their neighborhood. We
conducted a series of questionnaire survey before and after providing a
leaflets on local information to the residents
in newly developed residential area in Yokohama. As a consequence of this
survey, we found that place attachment
is multi-facet concept and the information about the local area is effective
for promotion of place attachment although the efficiency depends on the population group.
