Publisher's Synopsis
A problem-solving aid that demonstrates how better parks can result from observing human behavior in commonplace settings. It shows how behavior-based management policies can cut maintenance costs if they are applied during design and contains practical suggestions for fighting vandalism and graffiti in parks. The book describes typical design errors attributed to a lack of attention to behavioral needs, and discusses problems which typically hinder the collaboration between designers and behavioral scientists. In addition, the book is well illustrated throughout.
