Abstract

Bu çalışma yer bağlılığı, yer kimliği ve yer bağımlılığı kavramlarının bir değişken olarak ölçülebilmesi adına geliştirilen nicel ölçüm araçlarının bir araya getirilmesini ve tanıtılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Bu kavramların hangi tarihsel bağlamda ortaya çıktığını tespit edebimek adına öncelikle modern psikoloji tarihi içerisinde insan-çevre ilişkisinin gelişimi ele alınmıştır. Psikoloji çalışmalarında insan doğasına yönelik ön kabuller insanın çevre karşısındaki özerkliğini süreç içerisinde kabul etmiştir. Bu süreçte insanın çevre karşısında gittikçe daha fazla söz sahibi olduğu kabul edilmiştir. İnsan, çevrenin ürünü ve şekillendirdiği bir nesnesi olmaktan çıkarak çevre ile karşılıklı olarak birbirlerini şekillendiren bir özne haline gelmiştir. Psikoloji dünyasındaki bu paradigma değişimi çevre psikolojisi çalışmalarının ortaya çıkmasında etkili olmuştur. Ayrı bir alt disiplin olarak gelişen çevre psikolojisi insan ile yer arasındaki ilişkilerin doğasına yönelik çalışmalara giderek daha fazla önem vermektedir. Bu kapsamda gerçekleştirilen araştırmalar yer bağlılığı, yer kimliği ve yer bağımlılığı değişkenlerini öne sürmüştür. Ancak bu değişkenlerin ne düzeyde birbirilerinden ayrıldığı ve ne ölçüde birbirleri ile ilişkide olduğu üzerinde bir uzlaşı söz konusu değildir. Bu durum üç değişkenin de ölçülmesini zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda mevcut çalışma üç değişkeni ölçmek amacıyla geliştirilmiş ölçüm araçlarını ve farklı ölçme tekniklerini incelemektedir

Measuring ‘Place’

Abstract

This study aims to bring together and introduce quantitative measurement tools developed to measure the concepts of place attachment, place identity and place dependence as a variable. At first, in order to determine in which historical context these concepts emerged, the development of the human-environment relationship within the history of modern psychology was discussed. Presuppositions regarding human nature in psychology studies have accepted the autonomy of humans against the environment in the process. In this process, it has been accepted that humans have more and more say in the environment. The human being has ceased to be a product and an object shaped by the environment and has become a subject that mutually shapes each other with the environment. This paradigm shift in the world of psychology has been effective in the emergence of environmental psychology studies. Environmental psychology, which has developed as a separate sub-discipline, gives increasing importance to studies on the nature of the relationships between humans and places. Research conducted in this context has suggested the variables of place attachment, place identity and place addiction. However, there is no consensus on the extent to which these variables differ from each other and to what extent they are related to each other. This makes it difficult to measure all three variables. In this context, the study examines measuring scales and different measurement techniques developed to measure three variables.
