Why do some people recycle and others don’t? How can we encourage more people to use public transportation? What can we do to make inner cities more lively and safe?
If questions like these interest you, join our section. Our members study the relationships between behaviour and the physical environment, both built and natural. Areas of interests include: management of scare natural resources; psychological effects of lighting, noise, and extreme environments; territoriality and personal space; and perception and evaluation of buildings. Non-CPA members can join our section as members of the Behaviour-Environment Interest Group (BEInG). Members receive the section newsletter and are subscribed to an e-mail discussion list. Annual membership is $15.00 for Members/Fellows and $5.00 for Student Affiliates, which supports the costs of the newsletter and the costs of occasional invited speakers at the CPA Convention.
