Cognitive Mapping as a Method to Assess Peoples' Attachment to Place
Over the past five decades, the methodological approaches used to understand peoples' emotional ties to place have been incredibly diverse, employing both quantitative and qualitative techniques (Lewicka 2011). In recent years more ethnographic, participatory visual methods such as cognitive (mental) mapping, narrative mapping, and psychogeography are showing considerable promise in revealing peoples' attachment to place. This article seeks to il…
Understanding the Ideal Qualities of a Life Plan Community
Baby Boomers have impacted American society at every stage in their life. As the Silver Tsunami approaches advanced age, they are faced with numerous elder care options. Two of the most popular are aging in place and living in a Life Plan Community (LPC). Known for their spectrum of services, LPCs are purported to offer a better quality of life, especially for individuals living in urban settings. Existing research, however, has yet to ask reside…
Migration and the search for home
The variable most commonly used to assess peoples’ emotional connection to a place is the length of time. The longer an individual lives in a location, the more likely they are to develop feelings

Historical Settlement
This entry traces the evolution of world human settlement from roughly 12 000 bp to the end of the European colonial period. It begins with the Neolithic Age and explains how the agricultural revolution enabled settlements to develop. Over time key locations (or cultural hearths) blessed with fertile lands and abundant water (Mesopotamia, the Nile Valley, Indus Valley, and Huang He/Yellow Valley) saw their populations grow. Beginning in the fifte…
The Fire Station as an Essential Tool in Urban Community Development
As the world’s population becomes increasingly urban, efforts to improve the quality of life among the impoverished must turn to cities. The literature asserts that the most successful programs in the fight against poverty are those that are implemented and managed by local community members. Moreover, the personnel in charge of distributing aid must have: 1) the trust and confidence of the community, 2) experience with community outreach, 3) a r…

Understanding Place Attachment to the County in the American Great Plains
The American Great Plains is a region dominated by a flat, treeless, semiarid environment that has challenged population settlement for over 140 years. As railroad companies successfully attracted pioneers to settle the land, state governments established hundreds of counties. Following Jeffersonian ideals, many of the counties were small in area so they could better serve the local agricultural‐based population. When states established these cou…

Research in Cuba
In 1977 James Parsons remarked that many of us are geographers because the discipline gives us the latitude to explore the world around us and get to know at least one culture or environment other than our own. Fieldwork is central to many a geographer's mission. Geographers engage in fieldwork to obtain data otherwise unavailable, yet overcoming difficulties is par for the course. Sometimes the barriers are linguistic, or foreign cultural custom…
Place Attachment Among Retirees In Greensburg, Kansas
On 4 May 2007 an ef-5 tornado leveled 95 percent of Greensburg, Kansas. Because city leaders encouraged everyone to use “green” building techniques as they rebuilt their homes and businesses, not only has the return to normalcy been exceedingly slow, but some of the town's older residents feel that officials have overlooked their needs. These minor episodes of discord enabled us to learn what features are most important to people in retirement. T…

Pueblo Mission Churches as Symbols of Permanence and Identity
The three Pueblo mission churches of San Esteban del Rey, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, and San José de Laguna are the most visually striking structures in the western New Mexico pueblos of Acoma, Zuni, and Laguna. Prime examples of “structures of permanence” on the landscape, the churches define local cultural identity. Church permanence and Pueblo identity are expressed in a five-part typology of visible characteristics: natural materials and ha…
Detached from Their Homeland
Over the past few decades, the homeland concept has received an ever-increasing amount of attention by cultural geographers. While the debate surrounding the necessity and applicability of the concept continues, it is more than apparent that no other geographic term (including culture areas or culture regions) captures the essence of peoples' attachment to place better than homeland. The literature, however, provides few examples of the deep-seat…
Rural Place Attachment in Hispano Urban Centers
Continued rural-to-urban migration has helped motivate cultural geographers, long suspected of having a rural bias, to include urban areas in their purview. Patterns of gender, class, ethnicity, and commercialization have proved to be fertile subjects for research, but the elastic links between rural and urban places are not yet well understood. Hispanos, despite intense feelings of loyalty to their rural villages, moved en masse to cities in the…

Animal Rights Activism and Animal Welfare Concerns in the Academic Setting
Past research suggests that public support for the use of animal models as means to improve the human condition is present but many individuals have expressed ambivalence. In the present study, various sectors of the academic community (students and faculty) as well as the general population, were surveyed to assess their positions on the need for, and value of animal research, the value of psychological research in which animals are employed, an…
Influence of the Alpha 2 Noradrenergic Antagonist Piperoxane on Longevity in the Fischer-344 Rat
Piperoxane is an alpha 2-noradrenergic antagonist with demonstrated excitatory effects on neurons in the locus coeruleus, causing a corresponding increase in norepinephrine in many forebrain areas. 16 male Fischer-344 rats approximately 16 months of age were injected with 3 mg/kg of piperoxane or .09% saline. The piperoxane-treated rats lived an average of 127.1 days longer than the saline-treated rats. The results are discussed in terms of the e…
