Foreword. Place attachment and the power of geographical approaches

Dealing with place attachment implies two main ontological and epistemological issues, still subject to discussion within the scientific community. In other words, what is place attachment? And how can it be detected? In the light of the relevant scientific literature produced by environmental psychology on place attachment, both at a theoretical and empirical level, this foreword highlights the original contribution that geography can give to the interdisciplinary debate on this topic.
