Une synthèse sur l’attachement au lieu : conceptualisation, exploration et mesure dans le contexte de la consommation / A synthesis on place attachment: conceptualization, exploration, and measure in the context of consumption

Abstract: Place attachment has been widely studied in various research fields such as environmental psychology or sociology, through the description of the emotional and identity bonds linking the individuals and their physical environment. However, whereas scholars emphasize the importance of affect in the management of consumption places, to date, these works have not been extended into the marketing field. Thus, this paper synthesizes previous works on place attachment and suggests an empirical procedure enabling first to explore the concept through the use of complementary qualitative methodologies, second to propose of measure of this concept, and eventually to quantitatively analyze its determinants and influence factors.
