Studies in space syntax and cognition have shown consistent statistical relationship between configurational properties of space layouts and people’s spatial cognition (the ability to recall and form a map of space). However, these studies stresses the aspect of spatial cognition that is based on the layout and quality of environment and say nothing about the view that considers the cognitive mapping as a process that is culturally constrained and results in the filtering of messages from the environment in which people live, this means we may have different cognitive mapping outcomes based on people’s values and considerations. If it could be shown that cognitive mapping process is influenced by people’s values and other cultural habits, then it means that configuration or quality is not the only factor that forms individual’s mental representation of space, but there is also another factor, this includes aspects that help individuals gain a specific sense of what is a proper or a satisfactory environment, based on their own particular view. The aim of this thesis is to explore this prediction by investigating the association between configurational features and cognitive representations and thus throw light on how the difference in people’s cultural background affects this association. Two key questions are addressed in this thesis: The first is whether there is a link between spatial cognition and people’s satisfaction about their local place, and the second is whether place satisfaction affects the association between space configuration and spatial cognition. Another question arises from the analysis: Which of the cultural values are most associated with the process of spatial cognition? The main tools and procedures used include: space syntax software to analyze space configurational characteristics of the study areas in question; the central area of Brno city (Czech Republic) and the old city of Damascus (Syria), a questionnaire to examine people’s satisfaction with their local place, a cognitive mapping test, and an on-site observations of pedestrian traffic. The analysis suggests: First, there is a considerable relationship between spatial cognition and place satisfaction, second, spatial cognition tends to be affected not only by the structure of the space but also by the way people understand and give meaning to space. The thesis also shed some light on findings with regard to those have been confirmed by previous studies, in term of how spatial configuration affects aspects of relationship between people and space, especially, the relationship between configuration and pedestrian flow.

Strategie a metodická podpora udržení a rozvoje zeleně v urbanizovaném prostoru
Projekce zahradní, krajinná a GIS, s.r.o., Brno ; Löw & spol., s.r.o., Brno ; Finstrle, Luděk ; Svoboda, A. M. ; Švamberk, Zdeněk ; Petrů, Jaroslav ; Javorková, Lenka ; Motl, Ivo ; Wolfová, Hana ; Hlinovská, Milada¨ ; Lacina, Darek ; Zapletalová, Olga ; Fridrich, Lubor ; Vaculová, Kateřina ; Langar, Filip ; Maděra, Petr ; Kynčl, Milan ; Hudec, Karel ; Nováková, Miriam ; Štelcl, Václav ; Hartl, Pavel ; Choroboczková, Milada ; Beneš, Martin
Cílem projektu je získat poznatky a údaje o přírodních parcích, významných krajinných prvcích (VKP) a územních systémech ekologické stability (ÚSES) v urbanizovaném prostoru a na základě jejich kritického vyhodnocení zpracovat typologii těchto nástrojů ze zákona 114/1992 Sb. Podle typologie a rozboru problémů při vymezování ÚSES bude navržen soubor legislativních, ekonomických, správních a organizačních opatření a nástrojů k usměrňování rozvoje přírodních parků, VKP i ÚSES v urbanizovaném prostoru. Projekt je výrazně aplikační, pro využití obcemi.
