abstract: The goal of this thesis is to identify to what extent there is a difference between tourists and inhabitants of Ostfriesland with regard to the natural and cultural identity markers that may shape their place attachment to Ostfriesland. By surveying the tourists and inhabitants, a significant difference in place attachment to Ostfriesland between the two groups is discovered. The amount of times a tourist visited Ostfriesland shows a significant relationship with the tourists’ place attachment to the region. The length of residence shows a significant relationship with the inhabitants’ place attachment to Ostfriesland. In addition, the inhabitants’ general rating of Ostfriesland as well as the rating of the East-Frisian culture show a significant relationship with place attachment.
From the ten identity markers used in this research there were two significantly different regarding the level of attachment or interest towards them between inhabitants of Ostfriesland and tourists: gulfhöfe and lighthouses.
