Abstract

【Objective】In this study, the particularity of place attachment(PA) to urban waterfront parks was explained. By distinguishing the degree of visitors’ place attachment, the influencing factors of the vitality of urban waterfront parks were discussed, and the mechanism of waterfront space vitality was clarified.【Method】An analytical framework for social connectivity of urban waterfront park was built. Four typical riverside parks along the Yangtze River, Nanjing, were selected as case studies. Information was collected through a questionnaire survey (n=392) and the “t-test”, variance analysis, and Chi-square test were used to analyze the correlation among variables. The overall objectives were to (1) analyze the particularity of place attachment of urban waterfront parks, and (2) explore the social connectivity factors of urban waterfront parks.【Result】(1) There were differences in cognitive structure of visitors connected to nature. Visitors with high place attachment values identified with natural experiences of water ecology, whereas those with medium/low place attachment values identified with environmental experiences of leisure experiences. (2) Visitors were more likely to form social bonding in places with high place identities. (3) The differences in recreation behavior of visitors in daily/occasional recreation activities depended on whether the river was regarded as part of the individual/community.【Conclusion】 Social connectivity is a specific indicator of urban waterfront vitality and also a state of the visitor using the urban waterfront environment. To enhance the vitality of urban waterfront, it is necessary to fully consider the differences in visitors’ environmental attitudes and recreational behavior towards the waterfront landscape. By applying the place attachment analysis method to the research of social connectivity of urban waterfront, the depth of interpretation of urban waterfront vitality mechanism can be increased, which could provide new insights for the study of urban waterfront vitality.
