SoP as Preferences and Priority Performance Generation Gap (Behavioral Culture Studies in ‘Wonokromo’ Traditional Market, Indonesia)

Abstract

Sense of place (SoP) is a theory that originated in the field of humanistic geography and is currently developed in various academic disciplines, such as environmental psychology and architecture. The definition of sense of place itself is the process of the relationship between humans and a place, resulting from a complete perception of environmental conditions, both the physical and social settings that provide an experience of that place. Sense of place has three primary parameters: physical setting, meaning, and activities. However, these three parameters are no longer relevant to the current situation because the factors contributing to the sense of place are not solely based on these three parameters. After reviewing literature and data, researchers have found that in some places, one of these parameters of the sense of place may not be considered, yet some of the community still perceives that place as having a strong sense of place. This is driven by the evolving behavioral culture of the community. Even a person's background and birth year can be reasons for this. Gen Z and millennials, with their fast, efficient, and instant behavioral culture, may have different perceptions of the sense of place in a location compared to Gen X and baby boomers, who tend to prefer more traditional elements. Through the analysis of various literature reviews that have been gathered, researchers will analyze and present the results in the form of a bubble diagram illustrating the relationship between the sense of place and behavioral culture.
