Introduction: Navigation, as a complex skill important for independent living, requires a variety of cognitive processes. Current scales tapping components are lengthy and can be burdensome for older adults. Methods: Community-dwelling older adults (n = 380, age 60–90 years) completed an online survey tapping wayfinding, being lost navigating, and ...

Physical and visual elements that help people find their way around an environment are called visual cues (VCs). The current study aims to evaluate adults' wayfinding abilities (navigation, orientation, spatial anxiety, and distance estimation) and VC (navigational color coding) preferences in terms of color and position; additionally, investigates...

V diplomskem delu smo se ukvarjali s sistemom signalizacije oziroma z iskanjem poti na primeru kompleksne stavbe trgovsko-poslovnega središča Murgle Center. Namen je bil razstaviti objekt na osnovne komponente, to pomeni pridobiti tloris, ga interpretirati in izdelati shemo vseh cirkulacijskih poti, nato pa ustvariti enotno grafično podobo centra, ...

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of wayfinding information (destination reference images) in real-time complex environmental settings through the syntheses of mobile and static information sources. This investigation will help in improving the wayfinding information design for complex institutional environments which will enhance...

This qualitative study examines the browsing behaviours of patrons at two Swedish public libraries. Our methods were semistructured observations and semistructured interviews. The purpose of this thesis is to generate knowledge on how browsing behaviours manifest in practice, especially in the lesser-studied public library context. The research que...

Navigation services are essential for daily navigation, providing turn-by-turn instructions to help wayfinders reach their destinations. These services often differ from the heuristics wayfinders use, resulting in a poor user experience. Researchers have attempted to address this issue by developing algorithms that find less complex routes, by inte...

Navigating through physical environments has evolved over time from using stars and maps to support the wayfinding, to employing Global Positioning Systems and navigation services. Turn-by-turn guidance of navigation services is an effective way to support wayfinding, but it may not align with the way humans naturally navigate. Over-reliance on nav...

The study's aim was to examine whether spatial orientation can be improved in students with cognitive disabilities. Participants were 55 boys and girls with attention deficit and mild cognitive impairment from a special education school. The procedure included an intervention for two experimental groups that studied wayfinding and orientation in th...

This study examined the influences of healthcare facility interior features on users' wayfinding performance and the relationship between stress and wayfinding. General hospitals in China always present significant wayfinding problems due to their sizes and complexity. Poor wayfinding often leads to a frustrating and stressful user experience. It h...
