Abstract: | It has traditionally been accepted that people structure their cognitive map of the city through the five Lynch categories: path, edge, district, node and landmark. This study confirms empirically the existence of these categories in two different experiments applying two forms of multivariate analysis: hierarchical cluster analysis and correspondence analysis based on Euclidean and χ2 distances, respectively. The problematic edge category is also discussed, as well as the influence of centre-periphery dimensions on these categories. |
