    La investigación sobre lugar, identidad de lugar y apego al lugar presta sustento a la idea de que los lazos con los lugares pueden variar en función de la escala del lugar. Basándose en la premisa de que la identidad depende del contexto, este artículo pone sobre la mesa el impacto de la manipulación de la prominencia del lugar sobre los informes de los sujetos acerca de la intensidad de su identidad de lugar y su apego al lugar. Se diseñó un estudio para examinar la intensidad de la identidad de lugar y el apego al lugar de dos grupos de residentes (temporales y permanentes) en tres escalas distintas (barrio, ciudad y país), en las que se manipuló la prominencia de la escala del lugar. Los resultados mostraron que la prominencia del lugar puede ejercer un efecto sobre la intensidad de la identidad de lugar y el apego al lugar en los residentes temporales y permanentes. Los efectos de la prominencia varían dependiendo de la escala del lugar a que se da prominencia, pero por lo general no varían según el tipo de residente. Estos resultados son congruentes con las predicciones de la teoría de la identidad social y la teoría de la autocategorización, y muestran la importancia de la exploración del concepto de identidad de lugar dentro de este enfoque teórico.

    Research about place, place identity and attachment supports the idea that bonds with places may differ depending on the place scale. Based on the view that identity is context-dependent, this paper brings to the table the impact of manipulating the salience of place on the intensity of place identity and place attachment reported. A study was designed to examine place identity and place attachment in two groups of residents (permanent and temporary) at three different scales (neighbourhood, city and country), in which the salience of place scale was manipulated. The results showed that place salience could have an impact on the intensity of place identity and place attachment in permanent residents and temporary residents. The salient effects differ depending on the place scale made salient but do not generally differ according to type of residents. These results are in congruence with the predictions of social identity theory and self-categorization theory and show the relevance of exploring the concept of place identity within this theoretical approach.
