Even though environmental education research has included the idea of sense of
place, it has rarely taken into account environmental psychology-based sense of
place literature whose theory and empirical studies can enhance related studies in
the education context. This article contributes to research on sense of place in
environmental education from an environmental psychology perspective. We review
the components of sense of place, including place attachment and place meanings.
Then we explore the logic and evidence suggesting a relationship between place
attachment, place meanings, pro-environmental behavior, and factors influencing
sense of place. Finally, based on this literature we propose that in general
environmental education can influence sense of place through a combination of
direct place experiences and instruction.
In this article, we audit this writing and talk about how it can add to comprehension
of the feeling of sense in the instruction setting for environmental education.
