Place attachment theory derives many insights from disruptions to place attachment, such as displacement, migration and changing landscapes. Development-induced displacement – a specific involuntary disruption to place attachment - invites a particular examination. This paper examines a lengthy process of development-induce displacement in Bangalore, India and draws new insights on place attachment as a structure and a process. The loss of routine and the sense of time-space continuity, in addition to the severe impoverishment that most displaced people encounter, are unpacked with security-exploratory model from interpersonal attachment theory and with the framework of urban ontological security. We argue that spatial routinization encapsulates the social and spatial attributes of continuity and forms the secure base needed to explore the world. Thus, positive and strong place attachment is established through the process of routinization (i.e., a secure base) that enables physical and mental space for exploration. Our findings strengthen the theoretical links between attachment and place attachment theories. Moreover, this study positions the act of displacement not only as obscuring material and citizenship rights of the displaced but also as depriving basic sense of humaneness.

场所依恋理论从对场所依恋的破坏中获得了许多见解，例如位移，迁移和景观变化。由发展引起的流离失所-一种特定的非自愿性地破坏依附感-需要进行特殊检查。本文考察了印度班加罗尔漫长的发展-导致迁徙的过程，并就场所依恋的结构和过程得出了新的见解。除了大多数流离失所者所遇到的严重贫困之外，日常工作的丧失和时空连续性的感觉还与人际依恋理论中的安全探索模型以及城市本体安全框架相提并论。我们认为，空间常规化封装了连续性的社会和空间属性，并构成了探索世界所需的安全基础。因此，通过常规化（即安全的基础）过程建立了积极而牢固的场所依附关系，从而为探索提供了身心空间。我们的发现加强了依恋和场所依恋理论之间的理论联系。而且，这项研究不仅将流离失所行为定位为使流离失所者的物质和公民权利模糊不清，而且还剥夺了其基本的人道意识。
