Place-Based Meanings and Attachments Within Urban Landscapes: The Case of the Miami River
Previous studies examining the emotional relationship that people have to places have helped researchers understand what inspires individuals and communities to act and protect the places that are meaningful to them. These relationships, sometimes developing without awareness, are not only influenced by the affective and cognitive processes of the individual, but also by the sociopolitical and economic power relations that encompass and shape the land itself. The Miami River in South Florida, USA, provides a model case for illuminating such meanings and processes; with the river and surrounding communities facing changes every day, the purpose of this study is to examine the place-based meanings and connections of residents living along the Miami River and explore how residents feel and perceive these changes. To accomplish this, photovoice will be used to elucidate the multifaceted dimensions of their connections. In contrast to other conventional methods, such as in-depth interviews and questionnaires, photovoice will provide a visual document where participants will have the opportunity to reflect on what really connects them to the river while also providing their own interpretation of the challenges posed by the changes occurring in the area.
