Residents' cognition and attitudes towards protection of the agricultural heritage system from a place identity perspective: a case study of the Fuzhou jasmine and tea culture system

Studies on the conservation of agricultural heritage systems have received extensive attention since the development,in recent years,of the concept of GIAHS( Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems) by the Food and Agriculture Organization( FAO). Unlike industrial agriculture,agricultural heritage systems emphasize on the protection of agricultural systems,technologies,species,landscapes,and cultures; this outlook is of great significance to biodiversityprotection and human-land coordination. Biodiversity and social culture,the foundations of agricultural heritage systems,are threatened by the rapid pace of industrialization,urbanization,and modernization. At the same time,the concept of place identity,derived from the disciplines of human geography and environmental psychology,has been introduced to studies of human-land relationships. At present,the place identity concept has been applied to studies of environmental attitudes and practices and attitudes towards tourism and its effects. Little resea
