Cognitive sciences that aim at establishing scientific and explicit
interpretations can diversify approaches to exploring users'
feelings and experiences of a specific environment. For example,
people's emotions and feelings change with their environment,
closely related to people's sensory processes and brain wiring,
personal experiences, and visiting purposes, etc., can be
understood as a prompt intuitive response. Environmental
information and responses are processed very fast to support quick
decision making in relation to people's survival and benefits.
Environmental Psychology explains the environmental types people
prefer and why certain environments make people feel, for example,
anxious or excited. Understanding people's emotional responses to
the environment facilitates, or "nudges" (a term usually used in
the inter-discipline of Psychology and Behavioural Economics),
users to act or make choices as desired. Moreover, research on
attention in cognitive sciences can also inform designers: by
controlling the spatial elements and intangible elements (such as
light and sound) to minimise environmental disturbance or noise,
users' attention can be directed to specific elements, element
combinations or series. During this process, users' specific
emotional memories or symbolic implications are activated, which
augments desired feelings and experiences. This issue explores the
mechanism of how landscape design affects users' feelings,
experiences, and behaviours, as well as usability, by introducing
theories, knowledge, and research methods and findings in Cognitive
sciences, psychology, neurobiology, and computer science, so as to
support landscape architects' decision making.
