Dissertation "Walk-and-Learn: Effects of Human-Centered Navigation Systems on Pedestrians' Navigation Behavior": A city of the future is likely to be one where people, sensors, and the environment fuse together into one interconnected, dependent, and intelligent system - a smart city. Accordingly, navigation in a smart city will also change drastically, as intelligent navigation systems will autonomously guide people from one place to another. Using these automated systems, people will be able to navigate to their destination more efficiently, but these systems also appear to decrease cognitive development relevant to learning and memory in everyday activities. By relying more on a navigation system rather than relevant features in the environment, humans may lose the ability to acquire spatial knowledge that, amongst other things, ensures brain development. It is known that people develop these essential cognitive abilities for everyday situations when using analog maps. However, little is known about how analog and automated navigation assistance can be combined to ensure efficient navigation without losing the ability to acquire spatial knowledge. This thesis aims to understand the relationship between a human navigator and partly automated navigation systems in real-world environments, as most navigation experiments up until now have only assessed human behavior and spatial knowledge acquisition in virtual labs.
