摘要

Understanding residents’ attachment to their homes in Indonesian cities entails a grasp of place attachment. Although occupant comfort affects the length of stay, these connections remain unclear. Therefore, this study probed the interplay between occupant comfort and length of stay and the role of occupants’ perceptions and sense of place to comprehensively describe how occupants view their surroundings in Indonesia’s urban context. Data were collected from 259 respondents via online surveys using snowball non-random sampling. Respondents came from capital cities in many parts of Indonesia, with variations in sex, marital status, income level, education level, and age. Qualitative analyses were performed using open, axial (JMP Pro 13 software), and selective coding. A qualitative analysis was then conducted to analyse the relationship between occupant comfort and length of stay, perception, and sense of place. The results revealed the following three categories of relationships: (1) physiological, with a length of stay of < 5 years; (2) psychological (affective), with a length of stay of 5–10 years; and (3) cognitive, with a length of stay of > 10 years. Based on the occupants’ perception and sense of place, the cognitive group had the highest sense of attachment to the place because of solid social interactions between occupants in the residential environment, leading them to stay the longest. This research has practical applications in such areas as distinguishing the treatment of some of these community groups in structuring settlements in large cities.
