Description

Experiments were conducted in two areas with a grid-shaped street pattern, one containing many vacant sites (area 1) and another with few vacant sites(area 2). Subjects were asked to memorize routes by walking the route with the person conducting the experiment. After learning the route, subjects walked it alone. The experiment comprised 65 subjects (32 males and 33 females), 34 of whom walked in area (1), while the other 31 subjects walked in area (2). The results were analyzed for differences among subjects in the two areas. Analysis of the sight behavior questionnaires and cognitive mapping errors revealed that subjects who walked in area (1) showed more intensive sight behavior than those who walked in area (2). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of the number of subjects who successfully reached their destination and the number who could map the route accurately. However, when there were both billboards and open spaces, the subjects showed a tendency to use more open spaces than billboards. We thus found that open spaces were easier to recall than billboards.
