The aim of the study is to investigate whether individuals re-port the places they are attached to in location-based services, and whether there is a relationship between the attachment scores of these places and their corresponding check-in fre-quency information. A survey is conducted to measure the degree of place attachment of individuals based on self-reported locations. Then their Foursquare log data is collected which includes their check-in and venue information. Our re-sults show that the majority of the participants check in to lo-cations that they are attached to. Attachment score is shown to be related to the check-in frequency. The tips left for venues include terms and phrases, suggesting place attachment.
