title: Understanding placemaking and place attachment for achieving sustainable cities: analysing sensory encounters of leisure places in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
creator: Kumara, Lydia Aulia
description: Yogyakarta has faced challenges in integrating placemaking and place attachment into its leisure development. It is reflected in how local government acts poorly towards the improvement strategies for leisure spaces. Young adolescents are also battling their needs in places that accommodate emotional needs. Despite scholars’ recognition, knowledge on emotional attachment with youth leisure spaces remains limited. Building on the linkage of emotional geography, place attachment, and youth leisure experience as theoretical frameworks, this thesis shows that positive emotional leisure experience and characteristics of place allowing such emotional attachment can contribute to Yogyakarta as a socially sustainable city. Negative emotional leisure experience indicating poorly managed places need further improvement, especially since local youth express strong cultural and identity attachment to those places. This research contributes to the study of emotions within socio-spatial planning. Evidence-based knowledge from this case study provides urban planners with the appropriate measurement when considering the redevelopment of socially sustainable urban leisure spaces.
