Research on Environmental Cognition and Psychological Perception in Urban Microspaces

Urban microspaces play a pivotal role in enhancing public life by facilitating human-environment interactions. However, their design often overlooks the integration of spatial cognition and psychological needs. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach combining environmental behavior theory, cognitive psychology, and spatial analysis to investigate perception, cognition, and evaluation processes in microspaces. Key findings highlight the importance of sensory elements, accessibility, and green infrastructure in shaping user experiences, along with the psychological dimensions of comfort, safety, and identity. By bridging theoretical insights with practical design strategies, this research provides a comprehensive framework for creating inclusive and sustainable urban microspaces.
