“…Younger respondents also tended to choose the sequential type of sketch map, while older respondents tended to opt for the spatial type of sketch map [41,71]. Age was not confirmed in two studies [74,83]; however, both dealt only with adults.…”

“…Out of 22 studies, sex was confirmed to influence content frequency in only 12, while nine studies did not confirm any influence and one confirmed partial influence. In studies that have confirmed the influence of sex on content frequency, the difference was observed in only one direction, i.e., women drew fewer elements in their sketch maps than men did [74,83,89,131]. Nine studies found no difference [7,75,80,132].…”

“…The sketch map quality changes most distinctly in the age group of six to twelve [8,9], where older children depict the territory more precisely [8,9]; the content of the sketch map increases [11,71,82]; the elements depicted change from natural to functional [8]; and the choice of cartographic methods changes, with younger children selecting more pictorial elements and older children tending to select elements of Euclidean geometry [8]. Notably, most of the studies [7,74,[83][84][85] that did not confirm or partially confirmed the influence of age on the sketch map did not use the age categories associated with individual cognitive development (see [24] for more), which may explain their failure to prove this dependency. Only the Drumheller [48] study failed to confirm the influence of age on sketch map quality despite designating age categories according to cognitive development.…”

“…Individuals draw more objects on maps of the neighbourhood of their place of residence [85,96], and they draw them with greater positional accuracy [62,[97][98][99]. However, Lee and Schmidt [83] state that proximity to the place of residence does not guarantee that the sketch map would be more diverse. Most of the unconfirmed and partially confirmed studies involved the creation of a sketch map of a larger territorial unit (or even of the whole world) [42,100,101].…”

Spatial perception is formed throughout our entire lives. Its quality depends on our individual differences and the characteristics of the environment. A sketch map is one way of visualising an individual’s spatial perception. It can be evaluated like a real map, in terms of its positional accuracy, content frequency and choice of cartographic methods. Moreover, the factors influencing the sketch map and/or its individual parameters can be identified. These factors should be of interest to geographers, cartographers and/or (geography) educators. The aim of this paper is to identify and describe the factors that clearly affect sketch map quality, by conducting a systematic review of 90 empirical studies published since 1960. Results show that most empirical studies focus on individual differences more than on environmental characteristics or information sources, even though the importance of these overlooked factors, especially source map characteristics and geographical education, has been proven in most analysed studies. Therefore, further research is needed in the field of sketch map quality parameters, especially in the use of cartographic methods. This paper could serve as a framework for such research.

“…As the point of ecology, those reasons have close relation to the ecological position, the control of urban community resource, and the proximity to central position of different classes(Lee et al, 1986). Unfortunately, relevant studies are still too few to call for deserved attention.…”

Urban social geography and its subfield--urban social-spatial differentiation have been developed since the 1960s. In China, with the development of urban geography during the 1970s and prosperity in the 1980s, its study fields have been expanded, the r~arch technology and theory have been renewed. There are two main sub-methodologies of urban social space study: ecological and comparative methodologies. Since Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou metropolitans are located at the window of China to overseas, it is reasonable to chose them as the main research regions, and the study on them has been strengthened since the 1980s. The research fields can be classified into five sub-fields: (1) social structure transformation and economic transit; (2) the change of cognition and behavior differentiation; (3) the relation between culture transformation and space differentiation in organization; (4) land use differentiation and the transit of planning' method; (5) material environment differentiation. We should strengthen the study of internal relation between resident space structure changing with time and space, and landuse; the division of a consumer and provision markets which can further understand the mechanism of social spatial differentiation; the effect of resident segregation; what's its benefits which can be accepted by community; and, how .to the study result of community replacement, state house distribution policy and management into the social practice.KEY WORDS: urban social space, progress in geography, social spatial differentiation, urban social geography Urban social geography and its subfield--urban social-spatial differentiation have been developed since the 1960s. Till now, by its basement and theory, it can be divided into three stages and four research schools. 1 ) methodological description stage; 2) behavior study stage; 3) radical Marxism stage which can be subdivided into two schools --structure and later structure study In China, with the development of urban geography during the 1970s and prosperity in the 1980s, its study fields have been expanded, the research technology and theory have been renewed. Recently, some new urban social problems have emerged, which make urban social geography earn much more space to fill the blanks of urban geography because of its structure defect and requirement for understanding the property of urban social problems, which strengthen the practice of research. Particularly, under the leadership of Premier Zhu Rongji, the government will take solving urban unemployment, housing and social welfare and so on as the main duties, thus renewing the study fields, methodology and the social practice (i) This project was ABSTRACf: Urban social geography and its subfield-urban social-spatial differentiation have been developed since the 1960s.

Evolution of Urban Spatial Cognition: Patterns of Change in Guangzhou, China

This paper includes an analysis of the evolution of urban spatial cognition over time among a sample of Chinese students attending Zhongshan University in Guangzhou, China. Changes in the features of sketch maps, based on classifications developed by Lynch, Appleyard, as well as Golledge, are examined. The slow evolution of urban cognition and the tendency to construct maps of the same style and structure over time are noted. Explanations for the absence of changes hypothesized by various investigators are offered.
