Abstract

Purpose-Place attachment is not just dependent on the place of birth and, as phenomenologists have acknowledged, "experience, " is the most significant element of the perception of concepts and meaning of a place; accordingly, meaning in a place is directly related to the way of human perception and its related categories. The main objective of the present study is to investigate and analyze the spatial-geographic factors affecting Place attachment of the Kurdish immigrants in Rudbar, Guilan province. Design/methodology/approach-This study is quantitative in terms of the nature of the research and is descriptive-analytical in terms of data analysis. Data collection was done using library and documentary as well as field and survey methods. The statistical population of the study consisted of the Kurdish villages of Guilan province in Rudbar with 12 villages and a total population of 2, 955 people. Using Morgan's table, the number of samples was determined as 340 people. To increase the level of confidence and reduce the error in data, the number of samples was increased and 355 questionnaires were finally completed. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a number of professors in the geography department of Guilan University. Moreover, to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha was run. The value of 0. 874 was obtained for the coefficient. Findings-The results of the study showed that there was a negative relationship between the location of the villages and the level of education and Place attachment of the villagers in the way that the more the distance between the villages and districts, towns, and cities, the lower the sense of Place attachment of the villagers would be. Based on the coefficient of determination (R2), 4. 5% of the variance of place in the rural households under study was explained by these indicators. Also, with the increase in the education level of the villagers, Place attachment is reduced. On the other hand, there was a direct and positive relationship between the duration of residence in the village and Place attachment to the village, which means that people who had lived longer in the village had also more sense of place. The obtained results showed the effect of spatial-geographic factors on Place attachment of rural households. Based on the coefficient of determination (R2), 99. 1% of the variance of Place attachment was explained by spatial, economic, and socio-political factors. Research limitations/implications-A limitation of this study was the lack of easy access to the Kurdish villagers in the above-mentioned villages. Originality/value-By providing the ideal conditions for living in different spatial (geographical) dimensions, one can strengthen Place attachment in the villagers and significantly reduce its harmful consequences. For instance, despite the great ethnic and cultural differences with the host society within a long period of residence, the immigrant Kurds in Rudbar have been able to have pleasant feelings towards their place of life and somehow attach to it due to the existence of certain desirable spatial, social, and economic features and potentials such as proper and safe physical environment, intergroup and intragroup interactions, as well as desirable areas for earning money and employment.
