Behavioral geography examines man in concrete situation in a micro-spatial setting. The research of behavioral geography is formed around some basic themes: cognitive processes, spatial images, mental maps, spatial learning and habits, decision making and choice. Other (more specialized) themes are e.g. understanding maps and geographic material, hazard cognition or disability studies. |

Optional course. Behavioral geography is one of the streams in socio-economical geography which accentuates the role of psychological background behind the spatial behavior of man and stresses the importance of cognitive and decision factors entering the relations between the multidimensional environment and human activity. Cognition in this context means active mental process of gathering the information about different locations. Behavioral geography examines man in concrete situation in a micro-spatial setting. The research of behavioral geography is formed around some basic themes: cognitive processes, spatial images, mental maps, spatial learning and habits, decision making and choice. Other (more specialized) themes are e.g. understanding maps and geographic material, hazard cognition or disability studies.
