  • Summary

    This chapter elucidates different pathways of how sense of place changes in response to shifts in social-ecological dynamics. In Bengaluru, sense of place in relation to urban lakes is changing and evolving. It is shaped by factors such as urbanisation, climate change and changing demographics, as well as by reinvention of historical uses as they clash with modern activities. Changing sense of place is furthered by the activist work of local lake groups. Through their active work to shape lake meanings, we show how community activists nurture a sense of place that can be collectively harnessed for conservation in the face of ecological deterioration. Importantly, the exchange of memories and place meanings between different stakeholder groups helps facilitate this and also generates new understanding regarding how to manage lakes as sites with multiple social and ecological place meanings.
