NEIGHBOURHOODS

People’s attachment to place: The influence of neighbourhood deprivation (14th May 2008)
An examination of the attachment people feel to their current neighbourhood, looking at the extent and nature of attachment in deprived areas. In particular, the study looks at the impacts of neighbourhood instability and social mix on attachment, and considers place attachment from a regeneration perspective, drawing on quantitative and qualitative evidence. It covers: the main drivers of neighbourhood attachment, in general and in deprived areas in particular; the extent to which neighbourhood turnover undermines attachment in deprived areas; whether attachment is lower in more ‘mixed communities’; whether attachment depends on the ’fit’ between personal and area characteristics; and the implications for regeneration policy and practice.
