Abstract:
To expand the research scope of cognitive map to large-scale space, a new method named space positioning was developed, by which the types of primate node, the construction process and the type of large-scale spatial cognitive map (LSSCM) are studied.The results show that the types of primate nodes are native place, general place, capital, tourism destination, provincial capital, places nearby, study place, business travel place, metropolis and so on, and the construction of LSSCM usually start from native or general place.The construction process of LSSCM are screw type, plaque type and random type.The type of LSSCM are dumb-like, blocky and scatter.
