  1. 1. Map-reading and wayfinding

    Författare :Torgny Ottosson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Children; cognition; cognitive psychology; map skills; maps; orienteering; phenomenography; phenomenology; preschool children; primary education;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the study is to make an analysis of map-reading as a cognitive phenomenon, with the use of a map for finding one's way as the specific focus. As a point of departure, the nature of human beings' knowledge of spatial relationships in their physical environment (here termed macro-spatial relations) is discussed. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of Art and Design on Orientation in Healthcare Architecture : A study of wayfinding and wayshowing in a Swedish hospital setting

    Författare :Muna Ibrahim; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; health-care architecture; hospital design; interior design; public art; wayfinding; orientation; affordance; familiarity; wayshowing; heterogeneity; temporality;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the role of interior design elements, especially artwork, in way-searchers’ wayfinding and orientation in hospital environments. The thesis considers the way-searcher’s background and the impact of cultural belonging, occupation, memories, aesthetic preferences, and language, and the influence that such factors might have on the perception of the hospital environment and its guiding elements.

  4. 3. Escaping 'death by GPS' : foundations for adaptive navigation assistance

    Författare :Fateme Teimouri; Kai-Florian Richter; Henrik Björklund; Sabine Timpf; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wayfinding; navigation systems; navigation complexity; prominent locations; route generalization; spatial cognition; mental models; route learning; direction giving; Human-centered study.;

    Sammanfattning : Navigating through physical environments has evolved over time from using stars and maps to support the wayfinding, to employing Global Positioning Systems and navigation services. Turn-by-turn guidance of navigation services is an effective way to support wayfinding, but it may not align with the way humans naturally navigate. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Talk the walk : Empirical studies and data-driven methods for geographical natural language applications

    Författare :Jana Götze; Johan Boye; Martin Raubal; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedestrian wayfinding; salience; route instructions; reference resolution; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Finding the way in known and unknown city environments is a task that all pedestrians carry out regularly. Current technology allows the use of smart devices as aids that can give automatic verbal route directions on the basis of the pedestrian's current position. LÄS MER

  7. 5. By foot at ease : environmental affordances for wellbeing in walking

    Författare :Thomas Höjemo; Beatriz Fedrizzi; Anna-Johanna Klasander; Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Walking has been shown to provide benefits for our health and also for the environment. Research has also shown that if the built environment is adapted for pedestrians, people walk more. However, there is a lack of qualitative research in architecture and urban design on walking at the micro (streetscape) scale. LÄS MER
