Place Attachment-The Management of Urban Parks and Public Gardens in the Historical Inner City of Hanoi Towards Sustainable Development

The place values is a multidimensional concept including spatial characteristics, natural features, cultural and historical conditions. “Place” related to the feeling, experience, continuous interaction, and emotional impact of one place that people are attracted to it by emotional and cultural bonds. These are the factors that determine the character and spirit of the place. UPPGs always play important roles and are an indispensable part of the green space/green infrastructure and modern urban space structure. They contributed to renovating the urban environment and improving the quality of citizen life. Recently, UPPGs infrastructure in the historic inner city of Hanoi have received considerable attention from the government, experts, and the community, and offer policies and solutions for renovation and management. However, the reality of UPPGs still has many difficulties and challenges. They have not fully promoted their function values as well as have not become an attractive destination, or connected with the community. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the values and “place” characteristics of UPPGs in the historic inner of Hanoi so that they become valuable places and also create “place attachment”. Based on what is mentioned above, the principles and solutions in the management of UPPGs infrastructure of Hanoi toward sustainable development will be discussed.
