An Investigation into the Home Environments of 10-14 Age Group Children in the Cognitive Maps
Öz
Nowadays, urbanization is increasing and children’s relationship with their living environment
is becoming more and more important. This study aims to examine the urban
imagery elements in children’s minds concerning the urban space in which they live and
to show how children reflect spatial information about their home and home environment
in their cognitive maps. A field study was conducted with children (n=387) in the Kadıkoy
neighborhood of Istanbul during the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The
study group was selected using stratified random sampling. Questionnaires and cognitive
maps were created with children aged 10-14 years. IBM SPSS 25.0 statistical program
was used to analyze the research data. The study used descriptive data analysis to determine
frequencies and percentages. The results of the study are divided into two categories.
The first consists of drawing an image map of the real environment and determining the
image elements, and the second consists of spatially analyzing the content of the cognitive
maps drawn by the children. Spatial content analysis of cognitive maps; i) explanation of
home environment in children’s cognitive maps following Lynch’s methodology (path and
landmarks); ii) Matthews’ categories for classifying children’s drawn cognitive maps. The research findings show that i) paths are drawn more frequently as landmarks in children’s
cognitive maps, but landmarks are drawn in more detail and defined in writing. The second
finding of the study is ii) that the reflection rate of children’s functional cognitive map
drawings (elements of the built environment) from the immediate environment of their
home is quite high. This study of children’s city images and cognitive mapping abilities is
likely to give researchers in fields including city planning, architecture, educational sciences,
cognitive psychology, and child psychology a new perspective.
