Abstract

High densities, mainly, in the opinion of settlement in different aspects are undesirable. The difficulty in defining high density illustrates the importance of a contextual approach that incorporates all relevant physical, social, cultural, economic, geographic, ecological, technological, and personal aspects of a situation. PERCEIVED DENSITY is a person's subjective evaluation of population or built density; a measure that is related to environmental cues, culture and design. PERCEIVED DENSITY may have little to do with the actual measured density. By using the concept of PERCEIVED DENSITY, the negative effects of densities will decrease. Factors contributing to PERCEIVED DENSITY are hypothesized to include the perceptual, associational-symbolic and physical aspects of an environment; the temporal aspects of activities and the sociocultural characteristics of actors and settings. The notion of PERCEIVED DENSITY is based on the fact that any environment offers cues that enable people to judge about an environment's nature, the potential for action that an environment offers and the behavior this is appropriate for that environment. Certain physical and social cues can be read and interpreted as indicating a high-density environment. Other cues can be read as indicating a less dense environment. In both cases, these cues are at least partly independent of the actual number of people per unit area. The degree to which a perceived environment makes demands on our attention and the level of information processing an environment requires are related to the degree of density that is perceived. These factors interact with a person's perceptual abilities because individual thresholds for visual or auditory stimuli may be very different. Physical variables are hypothesized to be related to PERCEIVED DENSITY by affecting the number of physical sensory stimuli in an environment that indicate the actual or potential presence of people. These physical variables include tight or open spaces; intricate or simple spaces; large or small building height to space ratios; numerous or few signs lights, cars, and people or their traces; the predominance of artificial versus natural elements or smells; high or low noise levels; and the presence or absence of nonresidential or mixed land uses.
