Abstract

As urban development reshapes cityscapes, residents in peripheral settlements face challenges in maintaining Place Attachment. This study examines the potential disruption of Place Dependence, Place Identity, and Place Affection—core components of Place Attachment—amid urban development in peripheral settlements. A within-subject experimental research design involved 256 residents from two inner-city peripheral communities in Malang, Indonesia. Participants envisioned scenarios of urban development, which are formal housing construction, new city streets, loss of public spaces, and loss of trees. Paired sample t-tests and SEM-based regression analyses were conducted. Results showed urban development scenarios significantly reduced Place Attachment, with the emergence of city streets having the least impact, while formal housing, loss of open spaces, and tree removal were equally disruptive. Among the components, Place Dependence was most critical in maintaining attachment, while Place Affection was the most sensitive to disruption. Place Identity, Dependence, and Affection were least affected by new streets. Conversely, public space loss most disrupted Place Identity, while formal housing had the greatest disruptive effect on Place Dependence and Affection. These findings highlight the nuanced impacts of urban development on peripheral settlements, offering systematic insights into preserving Place Attachment during urban transformation.
