Architects, city planners, and other design professionals have used theory and research from psychology and other behavioral sciences to make their work more responsive to the needs of people who use the buildings, parks, and city streets the designers help to shape. Applications of Environment—Behavior Research describes and analyzes 13 projects for which the final plans were informed by social-scientific research. Using a common con-ceptual framework, author Paul Cherulnik considers a variety of settings, including treatment facilities, public housing, offices, parks, neighbor-hoods, and city centers. Some of the cases utilize basic behavioral theory or research, including classic work in psychology and other disciplines, whereas in other cases applied research was conducted specifically for the purposes of the project in question.
