The Journal of Environmental Psychology plans a special issue on children
and their environment.
There is much research activity in a variety of disciplines which would
fall broadly under this heading: from the social sciences and education
through to the planning disciplines; and, within psychology, many
developmental, social and environmental psychologists have contributed to
our knowledge. Yet, ironically, not much of this research has been reported
in the main journals of environmental psychology
We therefore invite people working in this broad field to contact the
editors of this special issue (details below) with proposals for articles,
reviews and research reports which they might be able to offer for this
special issue. From these initial expressions of interest, we would hope to
build an issue which reflects something of the range of current activity.
Topics that potential contributors to this special issue might include, for
example,
Children's place attachment and their growing sense of self
Environmental cognition and the changing freedoms of the child to
experience their locale
The roles of media and of formal education children's understanding of
distant places
Rural versus urban children's experiences
Development in the understanding of the grammars of place
Facilitating children's participation in planning
Children and safety in the environment
Children's wayfinding and cognitive maps
Design of environments for children
Cross cultural studies of children's environmental cognition
These and many other foci would constitute worthwhile contributions to such
a special issue.
So too would literature reviews which gave thoughtful consideration to the
approaches of (narrowly defined) environmental psychology and those
aforementioned other disciplines which have also been researching children
and their environments
Authors should remember the willingness of JEP to include good quality
black and white photographs and other relevant illustrations.
