Abstract

Fengyu ancient bridges are significant heritage resources that bear the historical and cultural. However, it has not received enough attention or strong protection globally. Existing research has largely focused on physical aspects rather than the people-place relationships. Behavior, as a concrete manifestation of the people-place relationship, is regarded by Gonçalves et al., (2020) as a core element in promoting the sustainable development of heritage. Based on it, this study aims to investigate if place attachment can elicit particular behavioral responses that aid in the sustainable conservation of the ancient bridge. The methodology of the study included a review and analysis of 37 scholarly papers pertaining to place attachment, activity categories, ancient bridge heritage, Bai ethnic culture, and public space. These constitute the theoretical basis for the proposed framework. This research examines the Fengyu Ancient Bridge as a case study-an outdoor public space characterized by a distinctive structural design and significant social and recreational roles-investigating the relationship among place attachment, Behaviour, and sustainable conservation. Findings show that place attachment can effectively stimulate interaction between residents and the ancient bridge, which will help promote its sustainable development. Moreover, the suggested framework provides both theoretical insights and practical tools to assist in identifying critical priorities for the conservation of Fengyu Ancient Bridge. Subsequent research may enhance the applicability of this approach by integrating various heritage sites and community situations. Empirical studies on the connections between place attachment and protective Behaviour can enhance actionable methods for the sustainable development of architectural heritage.
