Rating-Scale Methodology For Environmental Designers, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
There are many methods and techniques available to environmental designers to obtain and use information on spatial behavior, attitudes, preferences, opinions, and so on.

Three case studies are described to illustrate the application and usefulness of the graphic rating-scale technique to environmental designers.
