为了制定和应用未来可持续发展的目标，我们必须考虑人们关心什么以及是什么激励他们参与解决可持续发展问题。地方感理论和方法提供了丰富的见解来源，就像社会生态系统的观点一样，假设了相互关联的社会和生物物理现实。然而，这些研究领域最近才开始融合，我们看到了进一步参与的巨大潜力。在这里，我们提出了一种方法和概念工具，说明地方感视角如何为社会生态系统研究做出贡献。简要回顾重点关注与地方关系特别相关的两个领域：生态系统服务的管理以及对社会生态系统变化的响应。根据综述，我们综合了社会生态系统研究人员可以应用地方感来分析个人和社会行为的具体方法。我们强调描述性地点意义和评价性地点依恋作为工具的重要性，以研究人口或地点类型内部或之间的地点感的模式变化以及对复原力和变革能力的影响。最后，我们制定了未来研究的议程，其中考虑了弹性思维的关注点，例如动态生态的影响、时间和空间尺度之间的相互作用，以及快速和渐进的变化对地方感和地方相关行为的相互作用。未来的研究议程还包括更广泛意义上的地方文学的关注，例如结构性权力关系对地方意义创造的重要性以及扩大地方感如何影响环保行为。
To develop and apply goals for future sustainability, we must consider what people care about and what motivates them to engage in solving sustainability issues. Sense of place theory and methods provide a rich source of insights that, like the social-ecological systems perspective, assume an interconnected social and biophysical reality. However, these fields of research are only recently beginning to converge, and we see great potential for further engagement. Here, we present an approach and conceptual tools for how the sense of place perspective can contribute to social-ecological systems research. A brief review focuses on two areas where relation to place is particularly relevant: stewardship of ecosystem services, and responses to change in social-ecological systems. Based on the review, we synthesize specific ways in which sense of place may be applied by social-ecological systems researchers to analyze individual and social behaviors. We emphasize the importance of descriptive place meanings and evaluative place attachment as tools to study the patterned variation of sense of place within or among populations or types of places and the implications for resilience and transformative capacity. We conclude by setting out an agenda for future research that takes into account the concerns of resilience thinking such as the effects of dynamic ecology, interactions between temporal and spatial scales, and the interplay of rapid and incremental change on sense of place and place-related behaviors. This future research agenda also includes concerns from the broader sense of place literature such as the importance of structural power relationships on the creation of place meanings and how scaling up a sense of place may influence pro-environmental behavior.
