  • Defense of Place: an Overview
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION i. Sense of Place--Defense of Place: An Overview: Using the Toronto Island as a case study, this investigation argues that there is a dialectical relationship between sense of place (i.e., strong emotional attachment to a place of personal significance and meaning) and defense of place (i.e., specific political, legal and other actions taken to protect a place that is threatened). That is to say, When a place to which a person or group of people is strongly attached is threatened in some way. the sense of place may lead to and condition the nature of the defense of place; and. when a place is threatened and defended, that defense of place, in turn, conditions and influences the nature of sense of place. It is impossible to fully comprehend individual and collective responses to a threat without understanding the nature of the individual and collective attachment to that which is being threatened. Actions taken in defense of place, therefore, cannot be fully understood without appreciation of the part­ icipants' sense of place. Similarly, the very actions and experiences associated with defense of place may, in turn, heighten and/or otherwise influence participants' sense of place. In a situation where defense of place has occurred, therefore, participants' sense of place cannot be fully comprehended without a parallel understanding of their defense of place. It follows from this that in order to properly study a dialectical relationship between sense of place and defense of place, - .t ­ both the specific nature of the sense of place and the specific nature of the defense of place must be investigated in depth (as in the case study presented here) • Sense of place is a phenomenon of considerable interest and importance to geographers and a phenomenon Which may exist in the absence of any severe threat or any defense of place.
