What's in a name? Attachment and interference in placename-based identity

为什么当命名当局和其他利益团体提议改变历史悠久的地名时，经常会出现冲突？这个项目将通过研究对改变地名的具体建议的反对来解决这个问题——特别是在20世纪90年代初，对北黑兹尔伍德和丘吉尔的重新命名，以及对格兰平国家公园及其周边地区重新命名的抵制。将选择一个社区来记录地点身份，并将这些心理地图与官方地名登记册进行对比。结果将使命名当局更好地了解社区对地名的态度，并更好地了解对重命名提案的抵制。本研究将提供一个详细的了解地名依恋，身份和抵抗干扰的地方感。

Why do conflicts often arise when naming authorities and other interests propose changing long-standing placenames? This project will address this question by researching opposition to specific proposals to change placenames - in particular the renaming of Hazelwood North with Churchill and resistance to the renaming of places in and around the Grampians National Park in the early 1990s. A community will be selected to document place identity and contrast these mental maps with official registers of placenames. The outcome will provide naming authorities with a greater knowledge of community attitudes to placenames and greater understanding of resistance to renaming proposals. The study will provide a detailed understanding of placename attachment, identity, and resistance to interference into sense of place.
