“…Our results for associations between relational issues and leisure preferences and behaviours in adolescence would further suggest that there is some linkage between psychosocial focuses and the "use" of leisure contexts by young people in order to meet developmental needs (e.g. Silbereisen et al, 1987;Noack and Silbereisen, 1988;Cotterall, 1991). In the present study, for example, a shifting focus from the informal peer-oriented local neighbourhood context to the commercial pub context is associated with issues of family support and control, challenge to parental authority, with issues of peer acceptance, and with perceptions of social competence and social integration.…”

“…They said that these places were fun, interesting, exciting and good. This result suggests that the adolescents like the places with atmosphere that are compatible with their needs (Cotterell, 1995). The mentions of 'people' as the things they liked suggest the adolescents' needs revolve around settings of social interaction.…”

This study examines the adolescents' use of urban public places for hanging out activities in Jakarta, Indonesia and the multiple affordances that these places possess for adolescents' hanging out behaviour. The set of questionnaires was distributed among adolescents aged 11-16 in four schools in Jakarta to obtain the description of their utilisation of the available public places. The study found that the adolescents use various types of places to accommodate their need to hang out with friends. They use places designated as settings for entertainment and socialising as well as places designated for other functions. The findings also highlighted the potential of certain types of urban places such as bus stops, street corners and some unplanned places that become an integral part of adolescents' everyday activity spaces. Such places possess various affordances that support the adolescents' need for social settings. The study confirms the adolescents' use of the whole city as hangouts. In designing urban places, it becomes important to consider the adolescents' capabilities to perceive multiple affordances of urban places and to utilise these places for the activities beyond the main functions of the places.

“…When the components are different, the created environmental atmosphere also differs. In addition, previous (Cotterll, 1991), and environmental atmosphere can affect a person's emotions (Machleit & Eroglu, 2000) and mood (Brodnax, 1983). In this study, although the environmental content 'seen' by the onsite participants, the video viewers, and the slide viewers were the same, the environmental atmosphere 'experienced' was different.…”

The Validity of Visual Surrogates for Representing Waterscapes

Visual surrogates have been widely used for solving environment related issues. Researchers now have concern over the validity of surrogates. Human perception is multi-modal (Wohlwill, 1976;Ittelson, 1973) and motion is an essential aspect in the perceptual process (Gibson, 1979). Therefore, a surrogate has to be able to represent the dynamic elements in the environment and more realistically reflect human environmental experience. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of videos and slides as visual surrogates for representing dynamic environment. The validity of the surrogates was verified by comparing subjects' perceptual responses to on-site and simulated situations. The perceptual assessments included emotional, cognitive, behavioural and preference responses. The results indicated that on-site participants' emotional responses and preferences are significantly stronger than those of video and slide viewers. In addition, on-site participants' and video viewers' cognitive and behavioural responses were significantly higher than those of slide viewers. Overall, the validity of videos and slides for representing waterscapes was not supported.
