In pedestrian wayfinding, remembering landmarks and their relationships is considered key to learning routes. This research explores whether augmenting verbal route instructions with a narrative increases the memorability of a route. Narrative theory is applied as a framework to develop narrative-based navigation instructions, which were tested in a field study (N = 18). After learning a route, participants recalled the route verbally, completed a photo-based landmark sequencing task and discussed their answers. One week later, a route recognition task and a second photo-based landmark sequencing task was completed online. Results show few significant differences between the two groups when compared quantitatively. However, during interviews, the narrative group repeatedly cited the narrative when remembering the route. The results suggest that incorporating narratives into route directions can be further explored, and that some novel direction types may not be well-measured using quantitative methods. This research confirms the prowess of landmark-based instructions to facilitate route memory, contributes to the growing body of work augmenting landmark-based route directions with detailed information, and further encourages designers to consider alternate route communication methods.KEYWORDS: Narrativepedestrian wayfindingroute memorabilityfield study Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1. A weak causal relationship might be said to exist: turning onto ‘Bridge street’ might be impossible without first crossing the bridge, for example, but this seems a stretch. Additionally, the user could be considered a character, but there is no guarantee of transformation, nor is navigating a non-habitual event.2. Modelling the meaning of museum stories. Remembering routes is affected by primacy and recency effects, two phenomena found in the recall sequential lists (Hilton, Wiener, and Johnson Citation2021). Items at the beginning and end of the list are more likely to be remembered than items in the middle (Baddeley Citation1999; Reisberg Citation2010). Introducing an active delay, where the user is occupied with some other task, can reduce this effect (Reisberg Citation2010).","PeriodicalId":44932,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Location Based Services","volume":"13 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135684191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How can we study this in an ecologically valid way, also outside of the highly controlled laboratory? We report first ideas and results from our unique neuroadaptive research agenda that brings us closer to answering this fundamental empirical question. We present our first implemented methodological solutions of novel ambulatory evaluation methods to study and improve Location-based System (LBS) displays, by critical examination of how perceptual, neurocognitive, psychophysiological, and display design factors might influence decision-making and spatial learning in pedestrian mobility across broad ranges of users and mobility contexts.","PeriodicalId":44932,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Location Based Services","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135110426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, customers must divulge their personal information in order to enjoy the benefits of LBA. This raises serious privacy concerns on the part of customers. Very few research studies have looked into the factors that might alleviate customers’ concerns about their privacy when utilising LBA. Therefore, this research attempts to address this research gap and examines the factors that might reduce the privacy concerns of customers towards using LBA. The research model for the study is developed using privacy calculus theory to predict the behavioural intention of the customers towards using LBA. The data of 383 respondents who have experience using LBA was evaluated using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings indicate that advertising value has a favourable influence and privacy concerns have an unfavourable influence on customers’ intentions to use LBA where advertising value plays a much more important role. Privacy self-efficacy and brand trust play an influential role in reducing privacy concerns. By contrast, privacy policy stimulates even more privacy concerns, thereby impacting the intention of the customers towards using LBA.","PeriodicalId":44932,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Location Based Services","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136072117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
