Abstract

Abstract Abstract In 1965, Studer and Stea were able to compile a preliminary directory listing over 170 persons who are professionally interested in the relation of behavior to the physical environment.1 The directory is only one of several signs of the increasing attention being paid to the possible implications and significance of behavioral science research for the environmental planning and design professions. The source and potential of this awareness is broadly interdisciplinary in scope as is evidenced by the inclusion in the directory of persons in the fields of anthropology, architecture, city and regional planning, engineering, design, geography, landscape architecture, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and zoology.
