This paper addresses the importance to planning of understanding human perceptions and responses to environmental change. Supporting literature is discussed within the context of a conceptual model of the process of perceiving and responding to change. A plan for urban expansion in Tucson, Arizona, is presented as an example to illustrate the model and to provide a point of focus for the related literature.
