Based on established definitions in international academia，this study divides the sense of place into three dimensions：attachment，identity，and dependence. Drawing on a survey of 1054 respondents，this study employs item analysis，exploratory factor analysis，and confirmatory factor analysis to rigorously evaluate the designed items. Utilizing the validated measurement tool，it investigates the relationship between a sense of place and various forms of community participation behaviors among residents. The results show that residents’ identity with a place significantly promotes various community participation behaviors，while functional dependence stimulates residents’willingness to participate and increases their focus on rights-related actions. However，compared to identity and dependence，place attachment，as an emotional connection and support，has a less clear impact on residents’ community participation behaviors. In fact，it may even have a negative effect on participation behaviors under external pressure.
