From the perspective of the external environment, analyzing the interactive effects between individuals and the environment. Therefore, the opening statement of this course is as follows: "Humans impact the environment, and the environment changes behavior. Welcome to Environmental Psychology." With this introductory phrase, the overarching theme of this course is sufficiently outlined. On the positive side, there are many factors to consider in making good use of the natural environment, planning and designing artificial environments, and creating suitable personal living spaces. The planning of public facilities such as schools, workplaces, hospitals, communities, and diverse-friendly environments is of great concern. In particular, learning to integrate classical cultural patterns with modern living environments is a unique feature of this course.
As for the negative aspects, dealing with noise, environmental pollution, coping with natural disasters, and man-made disasters, and constantly considering the sustainable utilization of the environmental ecology are also part of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
"Environmental Psychology" is the third series of courses following "Applied Psychology" and "Social Psychology" and is based on a systemic view of psychology.
本次国际班课程以国际推广为目的，只设置一次测验作为通过标准，且与一般课程不同，并无发行证书。
The international class curriculum for this session is designed for international promotion purposes, and only one test is set as the passing criterion. It is different from regular courses and does not issue certificates.
This course begins by exploring the individual's psychological factors in sensing and perceiving the external environment, including how information from the physical environment is received and processed cognitively. This includes the individual's reception, perception, and response to major environmental stimuli such as visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory factors.
As urbanization gathers more people in urban spaces, numerous construction and alterations have been made to alter the natural environment and create artificial environments, such as high-rise residential buildings, transportation systems, internet networks, and public facilities. These altered environments, in turn, influence human behaviors, resulting in various urban issues such as economic development, crime, noise pollution, air pollution, and traffic congestion.
Within a population, spatial allocation and usage boundaries are inevitable. The harmonious and orderly sharing and possession of space often encounter conflicts and pressures from external environments, which are also topics explored by environmental psychologists.
From the beginning, this course outlines the approach that "humans change the environment, and the environment influences behavior." It analyzes individual's sensory, perceptual, and cognitive psychological factors in response to natural and artificial environments, thereby elaborating on the positive benefits as well as the negative aspects of urban living environments, such as urban crime and various environmental pollution issues. It also incorporates classical environmental models to reconcile the planning perspectives of modern living environments, contributing to the design of private and public spaces. The course aims to achieve a more balanced development in aesthetics, multiculturalism, and sustainable environments.
The course also explores the identification and coping strategies for natural disasters and man-made disasters. It emphasizes the importance of considering sustainable development of ecological environments while pursuing human civilization and economic growth.
