Active researchers in the areas of geography and psychology have contributed to this
book. Both fields are capable of increasing our scientific knowledge of how human
behavior is interfaced with the molar physical environment. Such knowledge is essential
for the solution of many of today's most urgent environmental problems. Failure to
constrain use of scarce resources, pollution due to human activities, creation of
technological hazards and deteriorating urban quality due to vandalism and crime are
all well-known examples. The influence of psychology in geographical research has
long been appreciated but it is only recently that psychologists have recognized they
have something to learn from geography. In identifying the importance of two-way interdisciplinary
communication, a psychologist and a geographer have been invited to each write a chapter
in this book on a designated topic so that close comparisons can be drawn as to how
the two disciplines approach the same difficulties. Since the disciplines are to some
extent complementary, it is hoped that this close collaboration will have synergistic
effects on the attempts of both to find solutions to environmental problems through
an increased understanding of the many behavior-environment interfaces
