- Description
- With the rapid urbanization and globalization of cities, sustaining place identity has become a significant challenge. Historic city centers encapsulate place identity that holds special memories and meaning for those who attached to those places. The conservation effort in most cases focuses on the physical transformation, which has undermined the importance of the psychological sense of place embedded in the people’s attachment and memories captured in their minds. Regarding the psychological process of place attachment as an integral part of place identity, the meaning and memory of a place will be valued and relived in the revitalized centers. This paper explores the dynamics of human perception through understanding the place attachment concept and dimensions in the context of place imagery using Instagram as a new and highly used social media tool. The aim of this paper is to review the theories related to the destination image, place involvement, collective memory, and place attachment to develop a theoretical model that explains how Instagram usage affects the psychological process of visitors’ place attachment to revitalized historic places. The theoretical model is established by an extensive literature review and provides significant insight to the process of place attachment to revitalized historic city centers underpinning relevant concepts, deepening the urban research paradigm and generating a guide for further studies.
