TY - THES M1 - master AV - public ID - theses_frw3043 N2 - Place attachment and resilience are two complex concepts that are both discussed in relation with community well-being. Literature on resilience acknowledges the importance of connection to place and claims that place attachment is often at the basis of community development; however prior to this study this relationship has never been explored in great detail. This research question of this paper is: ?What is the influence of place attachment on rural (community) resilience?? This research has revealed a direct bilateral connection between place attachment and individual resilience. There is however no direct positive relationship between individual- and community resilience. The connection between place attachment and community resilience is interfered by the personal history with the place. A strong connection to the land can have both positive as well as negative influences on place attachment, leading to the recognition of a division between preservative ? and adaptive place attachments.
