| Research Abstract |
When we recognizee the environment and form it's image or cognition map, there are many affecting factors.
In this study, I analyzed the influence of the indivisual psychological differentiation on making the cognitive map and forming the image of the environment.
The results are as follows:
1. When people surmise the distance between the cities, they always make overestimations.
2. The amount of overestimation of distance is maximized at middle distance (2.8 times at maximum).
3. The visit experience to a city make distance estimation shorter. (A visited city estimated nearer than not visited city)
4 When analyzing the cognitive map ,"node" is the nost important facter.
5. The psychologically diffirentiated can draw a cognitive map very well. That means the map have many nodes and landmarks.
6 The subjects that have abilities of good orientation have also feelings of good orientation himself.
7 Male subjects are usualy psychologically differentiated, so they can draw a good map, and they have good sense of orientating.
8 I got four factors from the factor analysis of the Big City "Tokyo" (a) Tokyo desert
(b) Crowded Tokyo
