We specifically investigated how blind people use their senses to compensate for the lack of visual information and how the priority of senses changes according to the urban context. The participants of the study consisted of nine congenitally blind individuals and the study took place in two urban settings: a dense urban district, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">K<\/jats:styled-content>emeralti district in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\u0130<\/jats:styled-content>zmir; and an urban park, the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\u0130<\/jats:styled-content>zmir <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">F<\/jats:styled-content>air <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">P<\/jats:styled-content>ark. During the learning phase, a first trial along the selected routes was conducted for each participant individually along with one of the researchers. In the test phase, the participants were requested to re\u2010walk the route and verbally report the environmental cues they attended to. The participants\u2019 verbal reports were recorded and transcripts of the recordings were coded according to the environmental sensory inputs. In addition, the short\u2010term memory of each participant was also evaluated. The results show that the characteristics of the urban environment seem to have an impact on way\u2010finding strategies of blind individuals. It was found that the sound of the city and the echo from the environment are the most important factors for blind participants in the dense urban environment. Environmental boundaries provided echoes and gave a sense of enclosure that helped them orient themselves, whereas, in the park environment, the sense of enclosure was not enhanced due to a lack of boundaries in the environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/pchj.187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,24]],"date-time":"2017-10-24T08:42:40Z","timestamp":1508834560000},"page":"303-315","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Way\u2010finding strategies of blind persons in urban scale"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9501-7694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Didem","family":"Kan\u2010Kilic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design \u0130zmir University of Economics  \u0130zmir Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fehmi","family":"Dogan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture \u0130zmir Institute of Technology  \u0130zmir Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"American Foundation for the Blind.
