This article foregrounds sense of place as a key concept to further advance spatial theorisations within both ecological economics and degrowth. We delineate the scope of the concept and apply it to the fracking controversy in Lancashire, UK. Specifically, we elucidate how sense of place associations were mobilised by pro- and anti-fracking actors to legitimate and advance their respective positions. Our study makes three contributions. First, we review an extensive body of work in humanistic and cultural geography, developing an integrative analytical framework which can be adopted by ecological economics/degrowth scholars. Second, drawing on insights from Lancashire's anti-fracking movement, we illustrate how sense of place became critical for actors involved in degrowth-minded activism. In doing this, our work contributes towards narrowing the gap between degrowth theorisations and the enactment of degrowth-minded activism within real world complexities. Finally, we conclude by reflecting on the ideological implications of incorporating a global sense of place within degrowth politics, particularly in the context of rising ethnonationalism and right-wing populism.

本文展望地方感作为进一步推进生态经济学和生态退化的空间理论的关键概念。我们描述了该概念的范围，并将其应用于英国兰开夏郡的水力压裂争议中。具体来说，我们阐明了反水力运动和反水力运动参与者如何调动位置感，以使其合法地位和地位得到提高。我们的研究做出了三点贡献。首先，我们回顾了人文和文化地理学领域的广泛工作，建立了一个综合分析框架，生态经济学/退化学者可以采用该框架。其次，利用兰开夏郡抗裂运动的见解，我们说明了场所意识对于参与消极态度的行动主义者的重要性。这样，我们的工作有助于缩小除错理论与现实世界中复杂化的行动主义之间的差距。最后，我们在总结时总结了意识形态的涵义，特别是在民族民族主义和右翼民粹主义崛起的背景下，将全球性的地方意识纳入了消极政治。
