    El sentido del lugar (sense of place, SDL) se puede definir como una actitud hacia los lugares, expresada a través de respuestas afectivas, cognitivas y conductuales que se pueden operativizar empleando la escala SDL. Sin embargo, no se han explorado las posibilidades de esta escala respecto a los factores que expresan los vínculos entre las personas y los lugares, como el tiempo de residencia, la implicación personal, y los valores paisajísticos. Llevamos a cabo tres estudios para explorar estos factores en distintas poblaciones, a la par que contribuíamos a validar una versión reducida de la escala. El estudio 1 (N = 184) se centró sobre su estructura latente, empleando el análisis factorial exploratorio; el estudio 2 (N = 138) examinó los vínculos de la escala con el tiempo de residencia y los valores paisajísticos, y analizó el ajuste de los datos empleando análisis factorial confirmatorio; el estudio 3 (N = 58) examinó los vínculos entre SDL, tiempo de residencia, valores paisajísticos e implicación personal y la estabilidad temporal de la escala. Los resultados muestran una relación entre SDL y tiempo de residencia, implicación personal, y algunos valores paisajísticos. También prestan apoyo a la validez de la versión reducida de la escala como constructo actitudinal unidimensional, y facilitan su disponibilidad para el uso con muestras francófonas.

    Sense of Place (SOP) can be defined as an attitude towards places, expressed through affective, cognitive and behavioural responses that can be operationalized using the SOP scale. However, this scale has not been explored in relation to factors of people-place bonds such as length of residence, personal involvement and landscape values. We conducted three studies to explore these factors in different populations, while also contributing to the validation of a reduced version of the scale. Study 1 (N = 184) focused on its latent structure through EFA; study 2 (N = 138) examined its links to length of residence and landscape values, and analysed data fit through CFA; study 3 (N = 58) examined links between SOP, length of residence, landscape values and personal involvement, and the scale’s temporal stability. Results indicate a link between SOP and length of residence, personal involvement and some landscape values. They also support the validity of the reduced version of the scale as a unidimensional attitudinal construct, thus rendering it available for deployment in francophone samples.
