对人地关系（包括地点依恋和地点认同）的研究通常采用结构方法，忽视了这些关系随时间变化的动态性质。更多面向过程的研究倾向于调查单个时刻或事件的影响，而忽略了对人们生命历程的更广泛关注。为了解决这一差距，本研究调查了居住地依恋模式（“生活-地点轨迹”），并利用这些模式更好地理解当前的地点关系和对变化的反应，包括对原有地点纽带的破坏。叙述性访谈（n = 25）是在2013年对居住在Nailsea的居民进行的，Nailsea是一个英国小镇，受到高压电线建设提案的影响。有三个值得注意的发现。首先，研究提出了五种新的生活场所轨迹，其特征是不同的居住流动性配置和聚落类型的连续性。其次，该研究扩展了我们对与当前居住地的各种关系的理解，包括确定了一种新的“传统主动依恋”。第三，该研究指出了理解对地方变化建议的反应的轨迹的相关性，包括接受和反对。研究结果表明，叙述性访谈方法在揭示生命历程中的地点关系、了解人-地关系和基础设施选址方面具有重要价值。(C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Research on people-place relations, incorporating place attachment and place identity, has often adopted a structural approach, overlooking the dynamic nature of these relations over time. More process oriented research has tended to investigate the impacts of single moments or events, neglecting a broader focus upon people's life course. To address this gap, this study investigated patterns of residential place attachments ('life-place trajectories') and used these to better understand current place relations and responses to change, including disruption to pre-existing place bonds. Narrative interviews (n = 25) were conducted in 2013 with residents living in Nailsea, a UK town affected by proposals to construct a high voltage power line. Three notable findings emerged. First, the study indicated five novel lifeplace trajectories characterised by diverse configurations of residential mobility and continuity of settlement type. Second, the study extends our understanding of varieties of relationship with the current residence place, including identifying a novel variety of 'traditional-active attachment'. Third, the study indicates the relevance of the trajectories for understanding responses to place change proposals, including acceptance and opposition. The findings show the value of the narrative interview method for revealing place relations across the life course, informing understanding of people-place relations and infrastructure siting.
