Researchers sorted all maps into four different categories and analyzed the marked distinctions towards place perception, the physical/spatial correspondence between maps and reality, the absences and presences of architectural and urban landmarks, the relation between the map and the specific studies in which students are involved in, and the main objects and references included in the maps, as well as their frequency.

Los investigadores clasificaron los mapas en cuatro categorías, y analizaron sus marcadas diferencias en relación a la percepción del centro histórico, la correspondencia o no de lo representado con la realidad físico-espacial, las ausencias y las presencias de los soportes arquitectónicos y urbanos en los mapas, la relación entre el tipo de mapa y los estudios que adelanta el estudiante que lo realizó, los principales objetos o soportes urbanos incluidos en los mapas y la cantidad de veces que aparecen en ellos. Se concluye que los mapas cognitivos son una herramienta pertinente para el estudio de las ciudades, pues hacen evidente la percepción y el significado que los habitantes atribuyen a los elementos arquitectónicos y urbanos de las urbes en las que habitan.application/pdfspaUNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑOhttps://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/73/56https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2REVISTA NODO; Vol. 7 Núm. 13 (2012); 7 - 222346-092X1909-3888Percepción de la ciudadpsicología y espacio públicorepresentación social de la ciudadCity perceptionurban space psychologysocial representation of the cityImagination and representation: cognitive mapping of Merida Historic Centre by students at Yucatan Autonomous UniversityImaginación y representación: mapas cognitivos de jóvenes universitarios sobre el centro histórico de Mérida, Yucatán, Méxicoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por pareshttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Fuentes-Gómez, José123456789/10542oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/105422024-10-14 03:46:03.686metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co
