Il costrutto di attaccamento ai luoghi (place attachment) si riferisce alla relazione che lega gli individui o interi gruppi a luoghi specifici ed è diventato una prolifica area di ricerca della psicologia di comunità, ambientale e sociale, così come in altri settori scientifici. Questo articolo fornisce una revisione della letteratura psicosociale sul place attachment, evidenziando come i diversi focus di ricerca abbiano approfondito le sue dimensioni emozionali, cognitive e comportamentali. Tale revisione sintetizza le teorie sullo sviluppo e sui processi sottesi al costrutto e gli studi che mirano a evidenziarne la rilevanza nella vita del singolo e delle comunità. Infine, vengono proposte direzioni future per la ricerca e l’intervento.;
