About the Book

How do human beings comprehend, evaluate, and utilize the physical environments they inhabit? In this edited volume, a distinguished group of international contributers examines in detail the interconnections between what we know about, feel, and hope to accomplish in real world environments. Psychologists, planners, architects, and geographers discuss the state of knowledge in environmental cognition, building and landscape assessment, aesthetics, and decision-making. Gaps in our thinking about environmental issues are also discussed. The authors present an analysis of how our knowledge can be utilized in the design and planning of settings better suited to human needs. Of interest to psychologists, geographers, and environmental designers, Environment, Cognition, and Action examines the dynamic interplay of assessment, knowledge, and action of people in all settings relevant to daily life - home, school, office and industry.

Review :
"Making sense of one's environment is a largely unconscious concern. This collection of essays brings light to bear on a number of interdependent variables which lead to value judgements, which, in turn, might lead to important social decisions regarding such matters as the siting of schools, hospitals, housing, workplaces, recreational facilities." --Aslib Book Guide "An attempt to bring structure and theoretical focus to a fragmented field. Garling and Evans have taken a significant step." --Richard B. Barnes, Contemporary Psychology "Making sense of one's environment is a largely unconscious concern.
