2.1 | Rela ional alues
Theo ies o ela ionali y as ega ds human– na u e in e ac ions

and his aming domina es la ge ac s o he global conse a ion

indi idually and collec i ely. One way o mo e beyond his di-
cho omy is h ough he concep o ela ional alues (RVs; Chan

Rela ional alues encompass p e e ences (e.g. wo h and/o
impo ance o local na u e connec ed o o he - ega ding, beques ,
p e e ences) and guiding p inciples (e.g. ca ing as he ‘ igh hing

ages esea ch in o he impo ance o desi able ela ions wi h na u e

Al hough all alues a e ela ional in o igin ( alues o hings a ise

no ion o iden i y has been adap ed in esponse o changing discu si e

ounded on humanis concep s depic ing essen ialised, s a ic en i-

a use ul concep ual lens o unde s and discu si e p ocesses which

aken o e e o a si ua ed way in which people in e p e hemsel es
and hei posi ion in social g oups and local places.
2.3 | Place a achmen , sense o place and place
meanings
The concep o ‘place’ comp ises bo h an objec o s udy and a
sou ce o meaning h ough which knowledge abou he wo ld is c e-
a ed (C esswell, 2014). The b oad concep o ‘sense o place’ e e s

may ha e owa ds a loca ion (Tuan, 1977). Unde s anding alues e-
la ed o place is c ucial o p omo e meaning ul place- based human–
na u e in e ac ions (B own & Raymond, 2007; Lee, 2011; P ed, 1984;
S enseke, 2018). Wi hin he concep o sense o place, ‘place a ach-
men ’ is a e m aken om en i onmen al psychology which empha-
sises he emo ional ( ela ional) ies o ex en o a achmen be ween
people and place (Lewicka, 2011; Scannell & Gi o d, 2010), whe eas
‘place meanings’ a e he signi icance ha people a ibu e o a gi en
loca ion (Manzo, 2005).
Sense o place is commonly associa ed wi h indi idual and col-
lec i e RVs bu unde s anding place a achmen can d aw om
di e se and o en di e gen me hodological and heo e ical a-
di ions (B ehm e al., 2013; C esswell, 2014). B oadly, place s ud-

locus o a achmen ’) o quali a i e me hods (‘place as a cen e o
meaning’; Manzo & De ine- W i e, 2013). A dis inc ion has been
made be ween he conse a i e and p og essi e meanings o place
(Lewicka e al., 2019), wi h ea ly schola ship depic ing a place's sin-
gula i y as ixed and na u ally bounded (Di Masso e al., 2019). Such
essen ialis (‘seden a is ic’) iews o place seem o p edomina e
among place schola ship (Malkki, 1992), bu ha e also been chal-
lenged by he p og essi e heo ies o place as ‘ ela ional’, ‘global’
(Massey, 2010) and de ined by being in a cons an s a e o ‘be-

o place om he pe spec i e o ‘place as a locus o a achmen ’
(En ikin, 1976; Manzo & De ine- W igh , 2013).
2.4 | Language
Cu en ly, o e 7,000 languages a e used wo ldwide (Ebe ha d
e al., 2020). Spoken languages a e in cons an p ocesses o e o-
lu ion, and de ini ion o wha cons i u es a language, a he han a
dialec o a ian , owes much o socio- poli ical and his o ical ac-
o s which ully ecognise some linguis ic o ms as ‘languages’ and
s igma ise o he s ( elega ed o ca ego ies like ‘dialec s’ o ‘pa ois’;
Edwa ds, 2009). Beyond hei communica i e unc ions, languages
also cons i u e c ucial symbolic ma ke s o indi idual and com-
muni y iden i y, and language issues can be sou ces o con lic
(Dwye , 2005; Lijpha , 1979). The con inued loss o linguis ic di e -
si y globally implies an i e e sible loss o unique ways o knowing
and dwelling (Ne le & Romaine, 2000). Language loss can indica e
and ein o ce socio- economic inequali ies, as unila e al powe a -
o ded o some linguis ic a ie ies can indica e and in ensi y he
dominance o ce ain social g oups o e o he s (Blanche , 2017;
Phillipson, 2012).
Jus as people hold a ange o alues abou na u e, we posi ha
a i udes owa ds language can also be unde s ood h ough he lens

Language is in cons an ela ion wi h human knowledge and

Mo eo e , language is a a iable exis ing in co- p oduc i e appo

S ong ela ions be ween people's iden i y, local na u e and lan-
