摘要：Several recent studies and scientific contributions have addressed the dialog methods and education in sustainable spatial development in architecture and urbanism,which at the same time also dealt with interdisciplinary and inter-generation communications and lifelong learning on the process of urban design. For education purposes on the topic of sustainable spatial development,we were interested in how the younger generations come to understand this notion. This fundamental understanding will direct further efforts in that segment. The study [Svetina et al,2013] provides an interdisciplinary account determining how children and adolescents understand urban and architectural aspects of sustainable development. The concept of sustainability implies complex relations between ethical,economic,social,technical and other qualities of our environment. The concept is difficult to understand for children who lack the abilities of abstract reasoning and multi-dimensional thinking. A new measure of sustainability understanding was formed based on pictorial rather than textual format and was applied to a large sample of over 2000 participants aged 6–19 years. The general understanding and interpretation of spatial information on urban environments were addressed by several contributions,which dealt with a novel approach to understanding the complex information and logics of urban spaces by the non-expert public. Verovšek, Juvančič in Zupančič [2013a] propose a model for interpretation of qualities in urban space. The objectives are threefold: first,to form common,valid and applicable measures to assess features of space design,second,to indicate the developmental trait that considerably affect user's spatial experience which – taken as a consequence – derives from either sustainable/prudent or poor design decisions;and third,to generically recreate and visually represent urban spaces for communicative purposes (figure 4). The model represents an identification method and is intended as a pragmatic instrument for recognizing crucial information, narrative,embedded in spatial scene. The selected results are described also in Verovšek,Juvančič in Zupančič [2013b]. The model is following the initial idea for an educational digital interface for the general public,participating in the process of urban decision-making,which was later addressed by a doctoral thesis [Jutraž,2013] under the mentorship of prof. dr. T. Zupančič.
