Накратко на български

Пространственото познаване на средата се изследва чрез анализ на движенията на тялото и очите при ориентация в непознато място. Това помага за създаването на персонализирани навигационни системи, които адаптират инструкциите според нуждите на потребителя и поддържат способностите му за ориентация.

Familiarity is Key! Conceptualizing and Behaviourally Measuring Familiarity In-Situ

This 30-month, highly interdisciplinary MSCA Global Fellowship was dedicated exclusively to the concept of spatial familiarity. Spatial familiarity is a state of spatial cognition which is acquired primarily (but not exclusively) by finding one’s own way through the environment. And, vice versa, spatial familiarity has a large impact on wayfinding itself with respect to both, reasoning about it and performance. Despite this support for the importance of familiarity, there is no generally agreed upon definition of it nor is there an agreement on how to assess it – which is a major research gap due to the evidence that both aspects are highly interrelated in empirical studies. The FamConMe project contributed significantly to the understanding and implementation of familiarity in geographic information systems, adding to our knowledge on how to conceptualize familiarity and providing ways to assess it in-situ based on behavioural data. The project’s focus was on understanding the conceptualization and measurement of spatial familiarity in human wayfinders so far; finding a way to assess a person’s sense of spatial familiarity at different levels and relate it to the person’s knowledge; predict the degree of a person’s spatial familiarity from eye and full-body movements during wayfinding. Beyond the theoretical advancement, the outcomes of this project are an important first step towards personalization of navigation systems. Continuously monitoring how familiar a person is provides one basis for a system to tailor route instructions specific to a user’s need. This improves the user experience of such systems and, even more importantly, helps to mitigate potentially adverse impacts navigation system use might have on our spatial orientation abilities.

Цел на проекта

This interdisciplinary research project contributes to understanding and implementing familiarity in location-based systems through theoretical, methodological and applied advancements. The proposed research adds significantly to our knowledge of how to conceptualize familiarity with different environmental features (e.g., landmarks, routes, regions) and provides novel ways to assess it in-situ based on behavioural data. It provides important theoretical insights by disentangling and interrelating the different conceptualizations and measurements of familiarity. The project’s key methodological advancement is the unique combination of three different sensors to behaviourally assess familiarity during in-situ travel and spatial learning: Mobile eye tracking, high precision GNSS positioning, and head/body-worn Inertial Measurement Unit (e.g. providing acceleration data etc.) sensors are fused to study familiarity behaviourally in-situ. Machine learning and deep learning experiments on the behavioural data, singly and in combination, will be used to classify different levels of familiarity reflected in participants’ activities. The outcomes of this investigation form a basis for future research studies on how smart cities can adapt to its citizens' needs, based on their current state of spatial cognition – for which familiarity is a key example. These results contribute to the European Commission's policy “Smart Cities - Smart Living” and interplay with future programmes of the Horizon Europe cluster “Climate, Energy and Mobility” and the mission area “Climate-neutral and smart cities”.
