Abstract
This research considers how the “sense of place” of Shanghai residents is affected by relocation processes during urban development projects. The objective of this research is to present a detailed depiction of current social and living conditions of the displaced residents. The paper draws on the concepts of “place” developed in geography since the 1970s and presents an analytical framework which divides “the production of the sense of place” of the displaced residents into three different parts: ‘external place’, ‘living place’ and ‘being in the place’. These three parts represent respectively the relocation planning strategy of Shanghai in a globalization and urban development context, everyday life of displaced residents, and their personal experiences, emotions and stock of knowledge of the place. The fieldwork, which included initial and follow-up interviews of displaced residents in the central district of Shanghai, was conducted in 2004 and 2005. Ten residents, who were displaced after 2001, responded to an ethnographic interview. Conversation analysis, based on the foundation of hermeneutic phenomenology, was implemented to grasp the diversity and dynamics of “(re)production of the sense of place” of these displaced residents. From this analysis, a new concept of “co-constructed sense of place” is proposed to further develop the concept of “sense of place” as developed in the geographical literature over the past 30 years.
