“Che meraviglia”. Wonderland del turismo
The study is part of the new field of Environmental Psychology called Tourism behavior and regards its link with the sustainable tourism. The wonderland is analyzed in term of landscape (Ecotourism, UNESCO 1992) and tourism experience.
We have focused some issues: places representations and their influence on decision processes within the “touristic product” as a individual and social experience. We underlined the concept that the social actors of the sustainable tourism are the public administrators, tourism operators, natives and tourists’ behaviors which can maintain or not a specific place identity and a wonderland for now and future natives and tourists
La rappresentazione del paesaggio attraverso le mappe cognitive
Within the framework of Environmental Psychology this study
deepened the relationship between landscape and environment to understand what kind of landscape concept is represented in
inhabitants’ minds. We analysed cognitive mapping like a process by which people learn, remember, and process spatial
information about an environment and produce sketch maps (Lynch, 1960). In particular we considered landscape a specific
spatial phenomena with high social value because it represents ecosystem diversity (di Castri, Balaji, 2002) and assumed sketch
maps as social representation of it. Our results suggest cognitive maps are the outcome of a series of psychological elaboration
in which memories, residents’ social and cultural background, impressions, associations, restorative experience of self-regulation
are processed and become an important component of place identity (Korpela, Hartig, Kaiser, Fuhrer, 2001)
