Abstract
Place attachment plays an important role in revitalization efforts in the neighbourhood. Whilst place attachment is a widely studied concept, there is a lack of understanding in place attachment with regards to planning failure. Therefore this thesis aims to identify place attachment in a neighbourhood with planning failure. To research this, a case study of unfunctional tramrails in the Haarlemmerbuurt in Amsterdam is examined. This case is unique since the tramrails have never been used and are part of the neighbourhood for over 30 years. Two dimensions of place attachment (place identity and place dependence) together with three dimensions of place (physical shape, symbolic shape and institutional shape) have been investigated with the help of a questionnaire amongst inhabitants of the Haarlemmerbuurt. Subsequently, four semi-structured interviews were carried out in order to deepen the understandings. The results have shown that respondents are moderately strong attached to the neighbourhood. Whereas place identity is moderate to strong, place dependence appeared to be weak to moderate. Respondents show a relative positive attitude towards the physical and institutional shape of the planning failure. Towards the symbolic shape respondents show a neutral attitude. It is recommended to conduct further research into the relationship between place attachment and planning failure. This will be helpful in order to clarify whether or not place attachment to a neighbourhood is influenced by planning failure.
