This tenth volume in the series addresses an important topic of
research, de sign, and policy in the environment and behavior
field. Public places and spaces include a sweeping array of
settings, including urban streets, plazas and squares, malls,
parks, and other locales, and natural settings such as aquatic
environments, national parks and forests, and wilderness areas. The
impor tance of public settings is highlighted by difficult
questions of access, control, and management; unique needs and
problems of different users (including women, the handicapped, and
various ethnic groups); and the dramatic re shaping of our public
environments that has occurred and will continue to occur in the
foreseeable future. The wide-ranging scope of the topic of public
places and spaces demands the attention of many disciplines and
researchers, designers, managers, and policymakers. As in previous
volumes in the series, the authors in the present volume come from
a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, research and design
orientations, and affiliations. They have backgrounds in or are
affiliated with such fields as architecture, geography, landscape
architecture, natural re sources, psychology, sociology, and urban
design. Many more disciplines ob viously contribute to our
understanding and design of public places and spaces, so that the
contributors to this volume reflect only a sample of the
possibilities and present state of knowledge about public
settings."
