👉 Research in "Where" explores the spatial and environmental factors that influence human behavior, cognition, and social interactions by examining how physical spaces shape our experiences and decisions. This interdisciplinary field combines insights from geography, psychology, urban planning, and environmental science to investigate how places—whether urban environments, natural landscapes, or specific locations—affect how people move, interact, and perceive their surroundings. For instance, researchers might study how the layout of a city impacts traffic flow, community engagement, or mental health, or how cultural and historical contexts influence the design and use of public spaces. By mapping these relationships, "Where" research aims to inform urban design, policy-making, and environmental conservation efforts to create more livable and sustainable environments.
