Abstract

As a crystallization of human history and culture, historical and cultural cities have immeasurable value. However, with the acceleration of modernization, many famous cities face the contradiction between protection and development. As the owners of the city, residents' emotional identification and psychological needs are vital to the protection of historical and cultural cities. Therefore, how to balance residents' psychological needs and the preservation of historical and cultural cities has become a hot topic in current research. This study selected two historically and culturally famous cities at the national level: Nanjing and Liuzhou. By employing methods such as questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and participant observation, a comprehensive investigation was conducted on residents' psychological needs and their sense of identity towards the protection of the famous cities. Through data analysis, the characteristics of residents' psychological needs and their relationship with the protection of the famous cities were explored. This will provide a useful reference for the protection and development of the famous city.
