....user behavior as well as analyses of user behaviors overall. These results lead back to central design and system management issues related to the development of 3D graphical environments for social interaction. Our work follows the studies of physical social spaces pioneered by William H. Whyte [11, 12]. Whyte s studies highlighted the ways people moved through and came to rest in parks and plazas and how social interactions, from the casual to the intense, were shaped by design choices and the structure of the space. We examined user behavior focusing on three issues: 1) general usage patterns ....

....in which people interact. People turn spaces into places where social interactions are encouraged and which are visible through the configuration of the space and how people conceive of the various interactions in it. Once again architecture is a significant influence on these ideas. Whyte [13] in particular, is interesting; the photographic studies of various different configurations of space, showing in a very detailed way what configurations of space work and what ones do not, what ones lead to higher crime levels, what configurations lead to sociability. One of his main findings is ....
....from the settings from the laboratory, which was felt by these psychologists to be too far divorced from the everyday conditions in which they lived. Ecological psychology s methodology is thus probably more similar to ethnography than not. But we can see other commonalties also, with Whytes [13] studies of the city. All these are contextual and naturalistic, situated. The family of concerns is thus overlapping with ethnographic work. Cognitive psychology While there is a sympathetic relationship between an ecological view of behaviour, ethnography and social navigation, this is not the ....

....is also shown. It depicts a small dinosaur, thus signifying the page as extinct . STUDY Our initial hypothesis was that visualization of interaction history through the new markers and footprints encourages additional traffic based on the observation that what attracts people is people [4]. Furthermore we hypothesized that navigation would be more efficient for users since they would be able to easily see what had recently been modified and or accessed. Users would navigate in a more social way, rather than in a spatial or semantic way. Participants We studied the usage of the ....
