Abstract

As the study target on areas interested in human-environmental relationships, place attachment is defined by the emotional bond established between people and physical settings. In order to evaluate the research practices of place attachment with regard to how they relate to the characteristics of the studies of Environmental Psychology, the scientific production related to this area, available in Science Direct and Sage databases was analyzed. The complexity of the study object, its multidisciplinarity, theoretical perspectives, research paradigms and the multimethodological approach were analyzed. Analysis showed that place attachment researches still seem to avoid the methodological triangulation proposed for person-environment studies; however, in general, they showed proximity as regards their investigation and production of knowledge of Environmental Psychology.
