The concept of place is physical as well as psychological. The physical form, activity and meaning are
mixed together to form the sense place (Montgomery, 1998). In the context of environmental psychology,
place is predominantly defined by a physical environment constructed based on its interrelationship with
individual's internal psychological and social processes and attributes and activities done at the place
(Smaldone, 2005). The place could not be separated from people who make places and invest meanings in
them as stated by Soja (1996) quoted in Gieryn (2000), "places are also interpreted, narrated, perceived,
felt, understood, and imagined." It is apparent that without addressing the significance of the people's
psychological connection with places, any form of assessment in determining place quality will be
inadequate.
