Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

  • The Sixteenth Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies
    The Sixteenth Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies Conference theme: OR in a globalised, networked world economy FINAL PROGRAMME 8-12 July 2002 University of Edinburgh in the centre of Edinburgh Capital of Scotland Hosted by the UK Operational Research Society WELCOME MESSAGE FROM IFORS PRESIDENT You are warmly and sincerely welcomed to IFORS 2002, the Sixteenth Triennial Conference of the International Federation of the Operational Research Societies, that will be held in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, from July 8 to July 12, 2002. The conference is hosted by the UK Operational Research Society. Operational Research as a scientific and professional field has been adapting itself to an evolving world since it was born more than sixty years ago. Because of its intrinsic interdisciplinary nature, ability to tackle real world situations and capacity to support complex decision making processes, OR can provide effective tools for modelling and solving these issues. Indeed, operational researchers can propose structural models of the problem, techniques for the analysis of alternative solutions and methods of validation, implementation and evaluation of the chosen solution. By considering the Conference Theme, i.e., OR in a globalised, networked world economy, it is essential that OR carries on a continuous process of updating and growth. IFORS 2002 will be more than a standard Scientific Conference, as it will also provide many opportunities for practitioners and OR users to exchange ideas and experiences. There will be a lot of opportunities to meet old friends, to establish new contacts, to learn from others. The Program and Organizing Committees, chaired by Ben Lev and Lyn Thomas, respectively, have arranged exceptional scientific and social activities.
