Recently, place attachment has been attracting attention to facilitate community development, and it is known to correlate with the desire to sustain the region and the intention to continue to live there. On the other hand, in order to achieve a sustainable society, we need to change the function and location of the community, and if residents move out, we need them to continue their relationship as “associated population”. Therefore, in this study, in order to understand place attachment from the perspective of future community development, we surveyed the reasons for feeling attachment and attitudes toward contributing to the community. The results revealed that factors that generate and strengthen attachment differ, and that groups with high place attachment do not necessarily have positive attitudes toward future community development.
