This article obtains the logical foundation which forms from "place attachment", proposed the forming system of "place attachment" of tourists who choice traveling destination independently for the first time: people obtain the related information freely and firstly form a concept place in the mind. If accepted, it then leads the actual traveling behavior. After visiting on the spot, people will have a place reflection which is named model place. If the model place surpasses the anticipated concept place, also conforms to individual values system, crossing immediately "the introspection" process, then "the place dependence" possibly to produce. The formation of "place dependence" is a complex, frail, and immeasurable process. The key to the solution of the question is the scientific revision to the related mete.On "place attachment" mechanism, the attachment sites at the process of forming substantially affected by many factors, we can trace back through empirical research to confirm the mechanism. We will study for the following two aspects of "place attachment" on empirical research. First, for the same travel "places", the tourists of "place attachment" exist on differences in the demographic characteristics; Secondly, the cognitive gap between "concept place" and "mode places", What on earth the relationship between" emotion" and tourists" place attachment is.Research has found that the level of place attachment in DuJiangYan is generally not high, at most place identity, a deeper emotion need to be further cultivated. The tourists of "place attachment" do exist on differences in the demographic characteristics. General view, except place rootedness male and female tourists hold differences and men at this level performs more strongly than women. In the "place attachment" on the other four aspects of difference does not exist. From age, education of view, there are differences among place belonging, place identity and place dependence, and the feeling of the older, educated tourists is much stronger than the younger and less educated tourists. On the different monthly income of family, except the differences between the shallowest of place familiarity and the most deep-seated of place rootedness exit in volatility, the feeling is basically even stronger with the increase of incomes. Therefore, visitors "place attachment" level differences more concentrated in the place belongingness, place identity and place dependence between the three levels, and showing a certain degree of regularity, that is, older, educated home high or high per family monthly income is more strongly felt. The differences between the most shallow of place familiarity and the most deep-seated of place rootedness fluctuations in the relative apparent.At the exploration among tourists "place attachment" and "cognitivegaps" and "emotion", we can know, there is a positive influence between "emotional" and "place attachment", while negative influence between "cognitive gap" and "place attachment"...
