以人文地理学和环境心理学为基础的地方依恋理论强调人对所处地方的感情联系,有助于弥补传统社会学、经济学、城市规划学及其他相关领域视角的不足,为快速城镇化背景下促进农业转移人口市民化提供更广阔的人本化的思维,具有深刻的理论和现实意义。随着"以人为本"的新型城镇化进程与户籍体制改革的推进,对宏观结构变迁背景下农业转移人口微观行为的研究亟待深入,藉此本研究在总结国内农业转移人口市民化研究与地方依恋在西方城市化研究领域进展的基础上,分析了地方依恋理论应用于我国农业转移人口市民化研究的思维视角,总结了相关研究的立足点。最后提出了未来的研究方向。

Place attachment theory, which emphasis on human emotional connection to the place, has profound practical significance by helping make up the lack of perspective of traditional sociology, economics and other related fields, and providing new urbanization a broader human-oriented thinking to achieve"human urbanization". Based on the knowledge of human geography and application of psychology, this study attempts to discuss the application of place attachment theory in China's new urbanization and citizenization of agricultural population in transfer.
