Abstract
City centres are important to many people. Besides being an important attraction for people from outside, the city centre is also appreciated by its own inhabitants. Due to the many functions, many people have a reason to visit the city centre. At the same time, city centres are facing many challenges recently, with the financial crisis, the advent of online shopping and the pandemic due to the Covid-virus. While all the shops and restaurants were closed during the strict lockdown, people continued to visit the city centre. From this one can conclude that the city centre has a certain significance for inhabitants because they attach a sense of place to it. This sense of place does not arise overnight and is influenced by a number of factors. This research has figured out which factors contribute most to this sense of place and to what extent this sense of place is a reason to visit the city centre. The main question central to this research is: What are the most important factors that contribute to a sense of place in the city centre for inhabitants and to what extent is sense of place a reason to visit the city centre?
