Abstract

According to environmental psychology, in the process of behaviour physical environment is man’s companion, equal partner, which, together with the internal psychological processes and in interaction (transaction) with these, partakes in the behavioural process. This standpoint makes it possible to raise quite a few questions, psychological in nature, about humans acting in a built/physical and natural environment, starting from this psychologically unusual set-off. These questions can (or for the most part can) be answered with psychological tools – “only” the man-environment transaction must be taken seriously, both from theoretical and practical perspective.
