PS 3324 - Environmental Psychology

Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

Course deals with the interactions people have with built and natural environments: how settings affect behavior; how people change environments to fit their needs; how people can become an active part of the environmental design process. It is concerned with the way people use space and the way environmental design meets (or fails to meet) human needs. These concerns are valid for very small scale design problems (as in human factors engineering); mid-size spaces (architecture and interior design); and for large scale spaces (communities, urban areas). The goals of the course are to introduce the student to this subject matter, provide familiarity with research methods associated to studying people and behavior in real world settings and issues in environment and human relations. Prerequisite: PS 2104.
