In an era of globalization where the progressive deterioration of local values is a dominating characteristic identity is seen as a fundamental need that encompasses all aspects of human life. One of these identities relates to place and the physical environment. Place identity is concerned with a set of ideas about place and identity from the perspective of a wide range of disciplines. Mainly it refers to the meaning and importance of places for their inhabitants and users.

Readers of this e-book will gain an insight on the role of identity as a basis for the perception experience and appreciation of the form of built structures. This e-book explains knowledge in relation to place identity focusing on people's identity and those factors that play a significant role in this process. Most of all the book gives further insight about place identity with regard to global and local contexts and across multifaceted and multicultural societies. The theme is approached from a number of disciplines that include environmental psychology philosophy urban sociology geography urban planning urban design architecture and landscape architecture.
