The findings obtained in this research project are summarized as follows.(1)Theoretical and practical issues of spatial cognition in terms of GIS can be classified into the following topics : GIS as a tool, GIS as a model, GIS as a source of spatial information, and application of spatial cognition to GIS development.(2)Measurement of navigational skills by the sense of direction questionnaire (SDQ-S) revealed that spatial abilities are closely related to the performance of spatial tasks.(3)Comparison of direction giving between by words and maps showed a marked difference in the description of choice points on the route.(4)Effectiveness of GIS in geographic education at junior high school was examined by comparing with topographic maps.(5)A system for visualizing a lot of regional information on a map was devised and its efficiency was tested in Tokyo.(6)Methods for selecting class intervals in choropleth map were reexamined in terms of an optimization problem.(7)An experiment on the conditions for communicating geographic information and navigation with guide maps shows that performance of map reading and navigation is affected by not only map reader's spatial abilities but also style of the map.(8)A guiding system for assisting wayfinding of wheelchair persons was developed and applied in Nagoya City.(9)To make a map for assisting wayfinding of visually impaired people, living environment was evaluated from a viewpoint of easiness to walk in Osaka.

本研究项目的研究结果总结如下。（1）GIS中空间认知的理论和实践问题可以分为以下几个方面：GIS作为工具，GIS作为模型，GIS作为空间信息源，以及空间认知在GIS开发中的应用。（2）方向感问卷（SDQ-S）对空间技能的测量结果表明，空间能力与空间任务的完成密切相关。（3）文字与地图指路的比较表明，在路线选择点的描述上，文字指路与地图指路存在显著差异。（4）通过与地形图的比较，检验了地理信息系统在初中地理教学中的有效性。(5)A设计了一个在地图上显示大量区域信息的系统，并在东京测试了其效率。（6）从最优化问题的角度重新研究了分区图分类区间的选取方法。(7)An通过对导航地图与地理信息交流条件的实验研究表明，地图阅读与导航的效果不仅受地图阅读者空间能力的影响，而且受地图风格的影响。(8)A在名古屋市开发并应用了一种辅助轮椅使用者寻路的引导系统。(9)To制作了一个用于帮助视障者寻找道路的地图，从大坂的步行容易度的角度评价了生活环境。
