Environmental
psychologists study how people relate to and use the environment.
We at Utah are interested in both the natural and built environments.
How can we create safe, attractive, user-friendly and sustainable
communities? How does the design of the environment contribute to
quality of life?
Brown and Werner conduct research on a variety of aspects of people-place
relationships. Brown has long-standing interests in territoriality
and place attachment, especially how those relate to community relationships
and neighborhood viability. Some of her current research evaluates
place attachment as it relates to "new urbanism", or designers'
and planners' visions of liveable communities. Werner is interested
in behavior change, and how new urban designs facilitate environmental
behaviors such as low water use and transit use. For other information
about Werner's research on environmental activism ("green psychology")
see the "Persuasion
and Behavior Change" interest group.
