Environmental Psychology

Environmental psychology, the study of the environment, be it man-made or natural, impact on human behavior and psychological adaptation.

After the industrial revolution, and with the great advances of the natural sciences in the 1800s and 1900s, it was a prevailing idea that nature could be mastered and overcome by man. Today, it is understood that the relationship between man and the environment must be understood as a complex interaction between psychological factors and the specific environment in which a person lives (human-environment-adaptation). Research in ecological psychology has dealt with a number of factors that are important for such adaptation: personal space, territoriality, population density, noise and temperature, architectural design of buildings and social gatherings are central examples. Knowledge of such conditions gives architects and planners important insight into how man-made environments should – and should not – be designed.
