Comparing the complexity of wayfinding tasks in built environments
Wayfinding is a basic activity that people do throughout their entire lives as they navigate from one place to another. Many theories of spatial cognition have been developed to account for this behavior; however, most of the computational models focus on knowledge representation (e.g., cognitive maps) and do not consider the process of how people structure wayfinding tasks and space. This pape...
متن کاملWayfinding Choremes
How can we represent spatial information in maps in a cognitively adequate way? The present article outlines a cognitive conceptual approach that proposes primitive conceptual elements from which maps can be constructed. Based on work in geography that starts with abstract models of geographic phenomena, namely modelisation chorematique by R. Brunet (1980, 1987), we coin primitive conceptual el...
متن کاملDeveloping the geographical space cognation through architectural experiences (Case study: A study of spatial cognation of primary school students in Tehran)
Since geographical space is a subjective space, due to the difference in the spatial cognation of different people, its perception can be changed from person to person. This cognation depends on the person's experiences of the environment and can be taught. On the other hand, the best age for this training is childhood. But this issue has received less attention. Therefore, the aim of this stud...
متن کاملFacilitating Wayfinding Using a Hypermedia Representation of Spatial Cognitive Maps
Navigation in large-scale natural environments is not new and has been dealt with some success across various cultures and species in the animal kingdom. Currently, interest in navigation and wayfinding has been revived by difficulties users usually experience when navigating through large-scale 3D computer virtual environments (CVEs). In this paper, the facilitation of wayfinding in such envir...
متن کاملEvaluation of Wayfinding Aids Interface in Virtual Environment
It is difficult for a navigator to find a way to a given target location in an unfamiliar environment. Often, wayfinding guidance such as an overview map is provided to assist the navigator. However, overview maps can only show survey knowledge at one particular scale, and cannot provide other kinds of spaital knowledge (e.g. procedure knowledge) or survey knowledge at different scales. In this...
