N2 - The concept of place attachment has been studied extensively across multiple disciplines but onlyrecently with empirical measurement using public participation GIS (PPGIS) and related crowd-sourcingmapping methods. This research trialed a spatially explicit method for identifying place attachment in aregional study in South Australia. Our research objectives were to (1) analyze and present the spatialresults of the mapping method as a benchmark for future research, (2) compare mapped place attachmentto the more common practice of mapping landscape values in PPGIS that comprise a values homerange, (3) identify how participant socio-demographic and home location attributes influence placeattachment, (4) provide some guidance for mapping place attachment in future research. We found largespatial variability in individual place attachment and mapped landscape values using both area anddistance-based measures. The area of place attachment is influenced by occupational roles such asfarming or conservation, as well as home location, especially in coastal versus non-coastal contexts. Thespatial distribution of mapped landscape values or values home range is related to, but not identical tomapped place attachment with just over half of landscape values located outside the area of mappedplace attachment. Economic livelihood values, as an indicator of place dependence, and social values, asan indicator of place identity, are more likely to be mapped within the place attachment area. Aggregatedplace attachment across participants in the region showed similar spatial intensity to aggregated valueshome range, but area-based assessment of place attachment and values home range are distorted by edgeeffects such as a coastline. To further develop the mapping of place attachment in PPGIS, we identifyknowledge gaps from our study and offer suggestions for future research.
