“…Generally, ETA is proportional to the distance to the destination (Golledge and Zannaras, ; Plumert et al, ); but, a number of factors can alter the perception of ETA, such as the emotions during traveling (Downs and Stea, ), attention (Ozawa et al, ), path direction (Säisä et al, ; Hanyu and Itsukushima, ) and familiarity with the space (Säisä et al, ; van de Ven et al, ; Ozawa et al, ). In this study, we focused on the impacts of familiarity with space on ETA and sketch‐maps.…”

When humans draw maps, or make judgments about travel‐time, their responses are rarely accurate and are often systematically distorted. Distortion effects on estimating time to arrival and the scale of sketch‐maps reveal the nature of mental representation of time and space. Inspired by data from rodent entorhinal grid cells, we predicted that familiarity to an environment would distort representations of the space by expanding the size of it. We also hypothesized that travel‐time estimation would be distorted in the same direction as space‐size, if time and space rely on the same cognitive map. We asked international students, who had lived at a college in London for 9 months, to sketch a south‐up map of their college district, estimate travel‐time to destinations within the area, and mark their everyday walking routes. We found that while estimates for sketched space were expanded with familiarity, estimates of the time to travel through the space were contracted with familiarity. Thus, we found dissociable responses to familiarity in representations of time and space. © 2016 The Authors Hippocampus Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In addition those responses are what influences their behaviours in the environment (Bitner, 1992), (see Figure 1.). The perceived healthscape may evoke cognitive responses (Golledge, 1987;Rapoport, 1982) which (1) affects people's beliefs about a place, and (2) assists people by distinguishing an organization by categorization. For example, it helps people to distinguish the children's department from the radiology department within a hospital.…”

Given that we live in a time within a growing competitive healthcare market, the customer experience and healing opportunities are on top of the priority list. However, little attention has been dedicated on how to merge the disciplines of architecture, healthcare and management to create healthcare environments to enhance the customer experience and the healing process. The goal of this paper is to explore how design can foster customer-perceived intimacy within a healthcare context to achieve enhanced customer outcomes, such as customer well-being. Understanding the importance of customer- perceived intimacy is paramount, as customers are constantly exposed to intimate situations. The study suggest that there is potential for such situations to be wrought with problems involving complexities associated with human cognition, emotions, physiological responses, and behaviors. A literature review is undertaken to highlight the antecedents and the short-term and long-term outcomes of customer- perceived intimacy. As a result, the paper provides a conceptual framework that raises many questions that need to be answered. In doing so, a solid foundation for future inquiry has been laid.

“…In the field of environmental psychology and behavioural geography the study of cognition and spatial behaviour received special attention, including taking tourists as samples (cf. Golledge, 1987; for recent reviews see Gobster, et al, 2003, andEisler, et al, 2003).…”

Most of the visitors (pilgrims in the majority) and the dwellers (mostly Hindus) perform some sorts of rituals at varying degrees and become involved in the religious activities to gain solace or soul healing. Of course, as sidetrack visitors also perform other activities of recreation and side-show. However, these are the marginal activities. It is obviously noted that personality of pilgrims and dwellers in the context of economic, social, cultural, job status, and perspective of life, has a direct effect on the nature of environmental sensitivity to its sacred landscapes and mythologies that support and make them alive. Ongoing rituals, continuous performances of Ramalila in the evening, pilgrimages and auspicious glimpses to the divine images, and associated happenings together make the whole are a part of the sacred environment. These are categorised within the frame of responsive perception, testing Kevin Lynch’s scale of imageability represented with the five elements, viz. path, edge, node, district, and landmark. The perceptual survey of dwellers and pilgrims are codified into a composite cognitive map that reflects the generalised images of various behavioural attributes that fit the cultural and natural landscapes of the city; this is similar to other holy cities of north India like Varanasi, Mathura, and Chitrakut.
