Permanent and Seasonal Residents' Community Attachment in Natural Amenity-Rich Areas Exploring the Contribution of Landscape-Related Factors Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Previous work on amenity-driven migration documented substantial differences between permanent and seasonal residents and the effects of these differences on community social dimensions. This study focuses on seasonal and permanent residents attachments to their local area. To increase our understanding of those factors associated with community attachment in amenity-rich areas, we incorporate attitudinal and behavioral measures associated with the biophysical environment in our model. We find natural landscape-based factors make an independent and important contribution to community attachment for both permanent and seasonal residents.
