The correlation between physical elements and the level of wayfinding and orientation in cities

This study is set up to provide the conceptual framework of legibility in the urban environment particularly in the new urban area of Yazd (Safaieh). In fact, investigating urban environment and its effect on dwellers’ spatial cognition is a subtopic under Environment and Behavioral studies. Moreove...
