Abstract

This study investigates the impact of place attachment on park utilisation through residents’ interaction. The correlation between place attachment attributes (functional, emotional and social attachments) and social interaction (engagement patterns and levels of interaction) is tested within Malaysian neighbourhood parks. The findings are based on systematic field observation and a questionnaire survey conducted with 387 residents in three Malaysian neighbourhoods. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between place attachment attributes and resident engagement with parks, thereby increasing the potential for social interactions. The level of functional attachment is strongly linked to both passive and active interactions. Hence, environmental planning and design researchers should further focus on the psychological attachment process of park users to provide more responsive and inclusive parks. Since functional attachment was found to be the key issue for promoting park use and social interaction, this study argues that giving further attention to residents’ functional needs regarding their parks will help mitigate the issue of underutilised parks and enhance neighbourhoods liveability. As the relationships between park utilisation and the influences of place attachment characteristics remain poorly understood, providing insight on how to include place attachment attributes in the design process of parks will enhance parks’ responsiveness.
链接公园利用与场所依恋。迈向宜居社区
本研究透过居民互动,探讨地点依恋对公园利用的影响。地点依恋属性(功能、情感和社会依恋)与社会互动(参与模式和互动水平)之间的相关性在马来西亚社区公园进行了测试。这些发现是基于系统的实地观察和对马来西亚三个社区的387名居民进行的问卷调查。结果表明,地点依恋属性与居民对公园的参与之间存在很强的相关性,从而增加了社会互动的潜力。功能性依恋的水平与被动和主动互动密切相关。因此,环境规划设计研究者应进一步关注公园使用者的心理依恋过程,以提供更具响应性和包容性的公园。由于功能依恋被发现是促进公园使用和社会互动的关键问题,本研究认为,进一步关注居民对公园的功能需求将有助于缓解公园未充分利用的问题,并提高社区的宜居性。由于公园利用与地点依恋特征影响之间的关系尚不清楚,因此,如何在公园设计过程中纳入地点依恋属性将有助于提高公园的响应性。
