Abstract

ABSTRACT Many studies have found that a loss of place identity in urban landscapes causes a slew of social, cultural, and psychological problems. The significance of traditional urban public spaces in sustaining place identity in a cultural landscape is discussed in this paper, which employs a statistical model tailored to Kerala, specifically Calicut, and is applicable via questionnaire research. The study begins with a look at the historical context and current trends in Calicut, the state's first port town and second-most populous city. The primary goal of this study is to clarify the relationship between people and their physical environment while considering the concept of place-identity and how urban public spaces, with their unique characteristics and features, contribute to physical setting cognitions and shape place identity with a focus on Calicut. The results were obtained through field surveys. The survey had 424 participants selected using a random sampling strategy. Users are observed to have a diverse set of social and cultural traits. This study, however, only considers users who have a consistent engagement with the location including shop owners, residents, etc. The theory of urban spatial designs that play an important role in enhancing identity, specifically the factors influencing place-identity in traditional urban public spaces based on Place Identity social cohesion, and, Place Dependence will be examined in this study.

传统城市公共空间在喀拉拉邦城市景观中维持场所认同的意义

摘要许多研究发现，城市景观中地方认同的丧失会引发一系列社会、文化和心理问题。本文讨论了传统城市公共空间在文化景观中维持地方认同的意义，该文采用了一个针对喀拉拉邦（特别是Calicut）的统计模型，并通过问卷调查适用。这项研究首先着眼于卡利卡特的历史背景和当前趋势，卡利卡特是该州第一个港口城市和人口第二大城市。本研究的主要目的是澄清人与其物理环境之间的关系，同时考虑地方认同的概念，以及城市公共空间如何以其独特的特征和特征促进物理环境认知和塑造地方认同，重点是Calicut。结果是通过实地调查得出的。这项调查有424名参与者使用随机抽样策略进行选择。用户被观察到具有一系列不同的社会和文化特征。然而，本研究仅考虑与地点有一致参与的用户，包括店主、居民等。在增强身份方面发挥重要作用的城市空间设计理论，特别是基于场所身份社会凝聚力的传统城市公共空间中影响场所身份的因素，以及，本研究将考察地点依赖性。

期刊介绍： Heritage & Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly, professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization, sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments, cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity, significance, and value. The journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated, and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
