项目摘要

Since the 1965 Association of American Geographers' conference in Columbus, Ohio, anglophone behavioral geographers have worked hard to foster multidisciplinary research, with psychologists in particular. However there have not been such trials by Japanese geographers yet. This is the first collaboration project between geographers and psychologists in Japan. The cross-fertilization of research aims, ideas, and methodologies across disciplinary boundaries is not easy, but we could deepen reciprocal understanding trough the project. Ecological approach is the key. Recent ecological turn in psychology has broadened psychologists' concern to geographical space from narrow laboratory.Now geographers and psychologists can share same interests in geographical space. How and what in geographical space affects spatial cognition and navigation? In order to explore this question, we focus on the people who suffer handicap in spatial cognition and navigation in Japanese urban space : the disabled, foreigners, and children. We also investigate the sex/gender-differences of spatial cognition.We plan the symposium in the association of Japanese Geographers' spring conference in 2000. The followings are our paper titles in the symposium :・ Exploring the fruitful links between geography and psychology・ Notes on the spatial cognition and behavior of handicapped persons : toward a dialogue between geographers and psychologists・ Are females apt to lose their way? The origin of the sex/gender-differences of spatial cognition・ Wayfinding behavior without vision : orientation and mobility of the blind and visually impaired・ A study of spatial knowledge acquisition by Japanese-Brazilian・ Wayfinding difficulties among foreign people who live in Japan・ The research of children's development of spatial cognition on geography : from Piagetian theory contextual approach・ The several barriers in a downtown from the children's suggestion

自1965年在俄亥俄州哥伦布市召开的美国地理学家协会会议以来，以英语为母语的行为地理学家一直在努力促进多学科研究，尤其是心理学家。然而，日本地理学家还没有进行过这样的试验。这是日本地理学家和心理学家之间的第一个合作项目。跨学科边界的研究目标、思想和方法的交叉培养并非易事，但我们可以通过该项目加深相互理解。生态方法是关键。近年来心理学的生态化转向将心理学家的关注点从狭隘的实验室扩展到地理空间，现在地理学家和心理学家可以在地理空间上拥有共同的兴趣。地理空间中的什么以及如何影响空间认知和导航？为了探讨这一问题，我们聚焦于日本城市空间中在空间认知和导航方面存在障碍的人群：残疾人、外国人和儿童。我们还调查了空间认知的性别/性别差异。我们计划在2000年日本地理学家协会春季会议上举行研讨会。以下是我们在研讨会上的论文标题：·探索地理和心理之间的富有成效的联系·残疾人的空间认知和行为笔记：走向地理学家和心理学家的对话·女性容易迷路吗？性别/性别差异--空间认知的差异·无视觉的寻路行为：盲人和视障人士的定向和行动·日裔巴西人的空间知识习得研究·居住在日本的外国人的寻路困难·儿童地理空间认知发展的研究：皮亚杰理论的语境方法·儿童建议的市中心的几个障碍
