Abstract
Planning initiatives have started to focus on the development of positive people-place relationships to create meaningful places within this changing world. The concept sense of place was introduced in planning regulations to create insight into people’s attachments to places. Local events are being incorporated within place-based policies to stimulate positive people-place relationships. However, the impact of cultural events on people’s sense of place is understudied. Furthermore, only social settings are researched and developed to enhance a positive sense of place, while social interactions do not appear out of nowhere. There is a need to focus on the relation between the physical environment and sense of place. Five avenues researched within this study create more insight into people’s sense of place. The chosen case study was a local cultural activity called the Slachtdag in the rural village of Zuidwolde, Drenthe, the Netherlands.
