This chapter reviews a model of measuring the salience of a specific class of spatial features—
fagades of buildings—for adaptation to abilities and preferences of user groups of …

The intention of this article is to create a link between human spatial cognition research and
architectural design. We conducted an empirical study with human subjects in a complex …

In the absence of any global positioning infrastructure for indoor environments, research on
supporting human indoor localization and navigation trails decades behind research on …

Although understanding wayfinding behaviour in complex buildings is important to ensure
pedestrian safety, the state of the art predominantly investigated pedestrian movement in …

Abstract In The Image of the City Lynch describes how individuals perceive and recall
features in urban spaces. The most distinctive elements in the urban landscape-categorised …

Virtual Reality (VR) provides the possibility to study pedestrian wayfinding behaviour in multi-
level buildings. Although VR has been applied increasingly to study pedestrian behaviour, it …

This paper begins by reviewing the motivation for an informatics of indoor space. It then
discusses application domains and consider why current geospatial technology, with its …

The Region-Connection Calculus (RCC) is a well established formal system for qualitative
spatial reasoning. It provides an axiomatization of space which takes regions as primitive …

In this paper, we explore the mutual effect of prior background expectations and visibility
afforded by the 3D configuration of the physical environment on wayfinding efficiency and …

Semantics constitutes the highest level on the communication ladder. The mutual
understanding of terms makes it possible that information systems can communicate with …
