Geography is usually defined by space and place, especially in the social and behavioural sciences. Place attachment, as such, forms an integral part of social research when it comes to defining individual psychology, emotions, and behavioural aspects. This paper tries to analyse the emotional bond between people and places that forms the major backdrop of environmental psychology, which is highly correlated with individual behaviour and personal experiences. Here, the royal sites of Burdwan Raj have a huge impact on the minds of urbanites that involves physical, social, ecological as well as emotional strings. This attachment is related to the identity as well as the dependence of the place. Therefore, this paper tries to find the reason for such attachment and bonding towards the place and portrays the hidden relations between them. A 22-item place attachment scale has been used here among a random sample of 322 respondents of various age groups, from 18 to above 90 years, representing the views of young, middle-aged and elderly generations. The dimensions used here to measure place attachment include place identity, place dependence, social bond, family bond, friendship bond, and natural bond through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA).
