Summary: The study reveals that almost half of the residents in a community in southeast Ireland experience solastalgia due to coastal erosion, especially those who have lived in the area for more than 20 years. Solastalgia is positively correlated with place attachment, with place dependence being the weakest expression of attachment. Despite experiencing solastalgia, those with high levels of place attachment have less negative outlooks for the future.

Summary: This paper examines the association between urban regeneration and place attachment in Zhuanghe, China. Findings suggest that despite having strong place attachment, residents are willing to move for the regeneration program due to fear of losing social networks. The article advocates for an alternative approach to reduce the disruptive impacts on residents' place attachment.

Summary: Drawing from qualitative interviews conducted in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, this study explores the impact of protracted displacement on the place attachment and wellbeing of Syrian and Palestinian refugees, as well as their host communities. The results reveal that the rural host population experiences solastalgia due to refugee-related place change, while Syrian refugees feel nostalgia for their homeland. Palestinian refugees, having experienced multiple displacements, identify strongly with their Palestinian heritage. A place attachment framework offers insights into addressing the mental health impacts of protracted displacement and promoting social cohesion.

Summary: This study examines the impact of quarrying on people's sense of place and place making through a case study in a limestone region of the Czech Republic. The survey of 400 visitors reveals that quarrying affects sense of place through emotions, activities, and quarry features, which can be predicted by socio-demographic characteristics, experiences and preferences, and the context of a specific quarry. The study concludes that sense of place and place making should be central to the sustainable development debate as they help to understand the human factors that influence socially just development.

Summary: Place attachment is a crucial factor in mobility decision-making, but its role in permanent relocation in coastal communities has not been extensively studied. This paper develops a new approach to assess the place attachment characteristics of coastal locations in order to understand how different places may respond to flood-driven relocation.

Summary: The study, conducted in a traditional mining area in Romania, focused on the psychological impacts of the relocation of around 800 people and cultural sites by the communist authorities in 1976. Through triangulation method, data was gathered from questionnaires, interviews, and observations to illustrate how traumatic memories of the communist era affect both the displaced population and the younger generation. The findings showed that the relocation had profound implications on the personal and family mentality of respondents, with lasting effects seen through intergenerational transmission of memories and post-communist recollections.

Summary: The ESPAR program is a significant policy initiative by the Chinese government to eradicate poverty, with place attachment playing a crucial role in the adaptation and stability of poverty alleviation migrants. Research shows significant differences in place attachment levels among different resettlement modes, with factors such as community support, social interaction, economy, and living environment affecting place attachment construction. Policy recommendations focus on appropriate resettlement mode selection, material and emotional support, and comprehensive community assistance to enhance the effectiveness of ESPAR.

Summary: This paper proposes an coal rock full-scale network model (FAM-CRFSN) with a fuse attention mechanism to accurately recognize coal rock at the mining workface. The model extracts coal rock semantic features using a multi-channel residual attention mechanism and a full-scale connection structure. It achieves a balance between deep stacking and error back propagation using dilated convolution and Res2Block structures, and establishes a multi-dimensional loss function for accurate coal rock segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate that the FAM-CRFSN model outperforms mainstream semantic segmentation models, providing a theoretical basis for unmanned and intelligent mining workfaces.
