	Topophilia and the quality of life
		Confirmatory factor analyses revealed four domains of topophilia (ecodiversity, synesthetic tendency, cognitive challenge, and familiarity) and four domains of QOL (physical, psychological, social, and environmental).
		Synesthetic tendency was the strongest domain of topophilia, whereas the psychological aspect of QOL was the strongest.
		All four domains of topophilia were significantly correlated with the level of restoration experienced by respondents at their current domicile [for cognitive challenge: r = 0.19; p < 0.01; familiarity: r = 0.12; p < 0.05; synesthetic tendency: r = 0.18; p < 0.01; ecodiversity (the highest value): r = 0.28; p < 0.01].

	FW: [Sbse] Re: feedback on student academic workload
		The term topophilia was coined by the geographer Yi-Fu Tuan of the University of Wisconsin and is defined as the affective bond with one's environment--a person's mental, emotional, and cognitive ties to a place.
		Topophilia is studied here as a latent construct, an abstract psychological concept similar to "attitude" or "intelligence" whose variability can only be observed indirectly through its effect on measurable responses.
		That is, people who had the highest topophilia ratings (who, for example, most highly valued flowers or color as important for achieving a restorative effect) tended to have the highest QOL scores.

	Topophilia : A Study of Environmental Perceptions, Attitudes, and Values (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Topophilia, the affective bond between people and place, is the primary theme of this book that examines environmental perceptions and values at different levels: the species, the group, and the individual.
		Yi-Fu Tuan holds culture and environment and topophilia and environment as distinct in order to show how they mutually contribute to the formation of values.
		Topophilia examines the search for environment in the city, suburb, countryside, and wilderness from a dialectical perspective, distinguishes different types of environmental experience, and describes their character.

		Understanding the stress-fighting effects of certain elements of the built environment may shed light on how people's surroundings affect their quality of life.
		The environmental features surveyed mapped closely onto four domains of topophilia: ecodiversity (the presence of flowers, water, and other elements of nature), synesthetic tendency (a commingling of colors, smells, and other sensory stimuli), environmental familiarity (which includes spaciousness and privacy), and cognitive challenge (which includes structural complexity and texture).

		From the mid-1960's into the early 1970's, while still known primarily as a geomorphologist, he edged toward announcing a vision for humanistic geography in a few of his many journal papers.
		Tuan complained that the geographer "writes as though people were endowed with mind and vision but no other sense with which to apprehend the world," and he proposed that, instead, the discipline should "describe and try to understand what 'being-in-the-world' is truly like."

		The instability of the sign is also combined with the term &#145;topophilia,’; which describes the affective relationships that exist between members of a culture and the spaces they occupy.
		Topophilia is also understood as a major component of narrative, thus exploring parallels between conceptions of space and deployment of images.
		The manipulations of space articulated by Carrizales are studied as individual interpretations that are read (and lived) ‘allegorically’ by other characters who use that space according to their needs.

	TOPOPHILIA & TOPOPHOBIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		What distinguishes human habitat is not the size and complexity of our buildings – many animals, after all make grand as well as intricate ones - but our ability to reflect on what we do and our ambivalence about our affinity to – as well as detachment from - the soil, the terrain we occupy.
		Though the words topophilia and topophobia belong to our time, an ambivalence between the love of place and aversion from it has been a recurrent paradox in human history.
		Implications of both topophilia and topophobia have been disregarded while we have been overtaken by the speed and the mass of building which seems to go up with animal rather than human energy.

	LandscapeOnline.com :: Article : Professor Studies How People Feel about Their Environment
		Oladele Ogunseitan, a social ecology professor at the University of California at Irvine, who is also a microbiologist, has been studying topophilia, topo meaning region or place, and philia “tendency towards.” Topophilia was apparently coined by Yi-Fu Tuan, a geographer at the University of Wisconsin.
		His hypothesis was that “individual preferences for specific ecosystem components and restorative environments are significantly associated with quality of life.” He asked 379 people on the UC Irvine campus to rate features in the urban landscape and their sense well-being, measured by the WHO's “Quality of Life” survey.
		Ogunseitan identified four categories of topophilia: “ecodiversity” (the presence of nature's elements); “synesthetic tendency” (colors, smells, and other sensory stimuli); “environmental familiarity” (such factors as spaciousness and privacy); and “cognitive challenge” (structural complexity and textures, as in buildings).

	Today@UCI: Press Releases:
		In a study being published in the February issue of Environmental Health Perspectives, Ogunseitan uses this method to examine topophilia – a person’s love of place – to dissect people’s preferences for specific environmental features.
		Ogunseitan says the real significance of this study is the development of a scientific method for measuring the relationship.
		The complex exterior of the Seattle Central Library designed by Rem Koolhaas and the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry are the types of structure that his study participants would not find restorative.

		Con il termine topophilia si intende la dimensione in cui lo sport ha un connotato affettivo con il luogo in cui è praticato o seguito.
		Vi sono due differenti forme di sport legate alla topophilia: la prima è rappresentata dallo spazio-legame ovvero l’attaccamento al luogo e la seconda è costituita dalla funzione di luogo-lancio degli sport.
