The results of this research project are summarized as follows.(1) A review of the literatures on theoretical and practical issues of spatial cognition and maps revealed that the digitization has promoted user-oriented map making,. making map makers sensitive to the context of map use.(2) We developed a method for analyzing sketch maps with GIS using buffer operation and applied it to a comparison between Japanese Brazilians and Japanese people.(3) A questionnaire survey on the relationship between navigational skills and map use revealed that women with low confidence in their spatial abilities rely heavily on guide maps while men with better sense of directions frequently use multipurpose maps(e.g., topographical maps).(4) A perceptual model of maps representing a surface distribution generated from a point distribution was developed and its validity was demonstrated by applying it to crime maps.(5) Comparison of the sense of direction by a questionnaire(SDQ-S) between elderly and young people revealed that there is little difference in the spatial abilities between two groups, though the ability at "landmark memory" of the elderly is inferior to that of young people owing to the deterioration of episodic memory with aging.

本研究项目的结果总结如下。(1)通过对空间认知与地图相关理论与实践问题的文献综述，发现数字化促进了面向用户的地图制作。使地图制作者对地图使用的环境敏感。(2)我们开发了一种方法，分析草图与GIS使用缓冲区操作，并将其应用到日本巴西人和日本人之间的比较。(3)一项关于导航技能和地图使用之间关系的问卷调查显示，对自己的空间能力缺乏信心的女性严重依赖导游地图，而方向感较好的男性则经常使用多用途地图（例如，地形图）。(4)一个感知模型的地图表示的表面分布产生的点分布，并证明其有效性，将其应用于犯罪地图。(5)通过问卷（SDQ-S）对老年人和青年人的方向感进行比较，发现老年人和青年人的空间能力差异不大，但老年人的“地标记忆”能力不如青年人，这是由于随着年龄的增长，情景记忆能力下降。
