Course Contents:

UNIT I: Environment-Behavior Studies in the design process. Introduction to the subject. The scope of
environment-behavior information USER GROUPS: groups with different ways of life, different socioeconomic
groups, handicapped, infirm, elderly, children BEHAVIOURAL PHENOMENA/CONCEPTS: anthropometrics,
proxemics, personal space, territoriality, privacy, perception, cognition, meaning SETTING/PLACES: World,
nation, regions, cities and towns, urban areas, residential areas, complexes of buildings, buildings of various types,
parts of buildings, rooms, furniture, equipment and objects.
UNIT II: Simulation theory of human behavior and the physical environment SIMULATION THEORIES:
Focus on the physical environment as a source of sensory information that is essential for human well-being (light,
color, heat, texture, or scent; building, streets, or parks), patterns of simulation that influence thinking, feelings,
social interaction, and health, simulation varies by amount—intensity, frequency, duration, number of sources, as
well as type, stimulus overload—too much stimulation, restricted environmental stimulation or stimulus deprivation
UNIT III: Control Theory of human behavior and the physical environment Ability to gain control over one‘s
environment is central, primary—selective control of access to the self or to one‘s group; involves control over
information about oneself as well as control over interactions with others, personal space—interpersonal distance—
is the physical distance we choose to maintain in interpersonal relationships, territoriality—refers primarily to the
behavior of individuals and small groups as they seek control over physical space, crowding—interchangeability
used with density; density is ration of persons per unit area of a space; crowding is the feeling of being crowed or
influenced by an interaction of personal, social, and cultural as well as physical actors
UNIT IV: Behavior-Settings Theory of human behavior and the physical environment The factors that
influence different individuals to behave differently in the same environment Human preference for elements of the
natural environment (water, trees, sunlight, etc.) Built environment—sociofugal spaces (discourage social
interactions), sociopetal spaces (encourage social interaction), building types and design Environment perception,
Gestalt theory of perception, environmental cognition, building imagery, urban cognitive mapping, meaning and
symbolism, neighbourhoods and communities
