Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Place attachment is a full-fledged psychological theory that might serve as a theoretical foundation for conserving ancient bridge cultural sites.Consequently, we reviewed the literature to explore the capacity of place attachment to foster or engage with the preservation of sustainable built heritage.Specifically, reseacher studied whether Bai people can acquire place attachment to ancient bridge.Whether it then influence the behavior of residents on the ancient bridge, thus accomplishing the goal of sustainable conservation.Gonçalves et al., (2020) pointed out in his research that conserving a building should encompass not only its physical structure but also the behavior of nearby residents.In making these theoretical connections, two key assumptions emerged as the most important strategies.They are also the contributions of this study: 1.The special human-geographical environment creates a strong place attachment of the Bai people to the ancient bridge; 2. Place attachment might be a factor affecting the Bai people's behavior, and it is crucial in the sustainable conservation of the ancient bridge.This work is highly significant in providing guidance to scholars in the field of sustainable conservation of the ancient bridge architectural heritage resources in Yunnan.
