Finding mobility in place attachment research: lessons for managed retreat by Robin Willcocks-Musselman, Robin Willcocks-Musselman, Julia Baird, Karen Foster, Julia Woodhall-Melnik, Kate Sherren

“…We find that place attachment and mobility research has contributed to the development of a more complex and dynamic view of place attachment: such research has explored the role of place attachment as either constraining or prompting decisions to relocate, and started to explore how the place attachment process responds to disruptions and influences recovery from relocation. Beyond informing managed retreat scholars and practitioners, this research synthesis identifies several areas that need more attention. …”
