Dutch term or phrase: plaatsbinding

Net zoals de kerkgebouw voor Seuphor de hoogste morele autoriteit op één plek centreerde, vormde zijn tuinperceel en bureau vertrekpunten om een basale werkelijkheid te overstijgen. Een ongewoon procédé om aan existentiële **plaatsbinding** te doen is dat niet.

What is the best translation for 'plaatsbinding' in this context?
I thought of 'This is not an uncommon procedure for practicing an existential place relationship/bond to a place" Do you have other suggestions?
