ABSTRACT

Perception of space is a multifaceted process, where humans may direct their behaviour within the environment through the influence of sensory stimuli, cognitive processing and subjective evaluation. Yet in streets, perceptual studies commonly focus on the physical structure of the environment while undermining the psychological and subjective components that shape the environmental perception. This paper has adopted a perceptual-cognitive approach to construct a multisensory perceptual social and physical model. It addresses visual, auditory, haptic, and olfactory stimuli as well as pedestrians’ preference score to extract main components of the street perception. Critical review of the literature, the expert’s validation, a pilot study, and the exploratory factor analysis are thoroughly used in this study. Factor analysis extracted eight components associated with perception, including Sociability, Mobility, Convenience, Contentment, Urbanization, Pollution, Safety, and Nature. The results exhibit and discuss the latent correlations between street attributes and perception.

摘要

空间感知是一个多方面的过程，人类可以通过感官刺激、认知加工和主观评价的影响来指导他们在环境中的行为。然而，在街道上，感知研究通常侧重于环境的物理结构，同时破坏了塑造环境感知的心理和主观成分。本文采用感知-认知方法构建多感官感知社会和物理模型。它处理视觉、听觉、触觉和嗅觉刺激以及行人的偏好分数，以提取街道感知的主要组成部分。本研究充分利用了文献的批判性审查、专家的验证、试点研究和探索性因素分析。社交性、流动性、便利性、满足感、城市化、污染、安全和自然。结果展示并讨论了街道属性和感知之间的潜在相关性。
