Determining Hierarchy of Landmarks in Spatial Descriptions
Anacta,VJ; Schwering, A; Li,R
Abstract in digital collection (conference) | Peer reviewedAbstract
Communicating wayfinding instructions involves selective inclusion of spatial elements that may guide a person to reach the destination. These spatial elements could provide someone an idea of the place layout depending on how instructions are structured. In this study, we investigate the types of landmark information participants include in verbal route descriptions and sketch maps. We focus our analysis on the composition of landmarks in the spatial descriptions whether participants are confined in giving only local landmarks in the route instructions.
