Abstract
The article considers the role of cognitive maps in the perception of urban space and their influence on social interaction and self-identification of city dwellers. The author analyses how mental ideas about a city are formed under the influence of personal experience, cultural and social factors. The relationship between cognitive maps and urban planning is investigated, and ways to optimise the urban environment based on understanding the mental maps of residents are proposed. In particular, the theoretical foundations of cognitive map formation are reviewed, including the works of Kevin Lynch, Edward Tolman, and other leading researchers who have laid the foundation for understanding the processes of mental mapping of urban spaces. The author of the article studies how personal experience, cultural and social contexts contribute to the creation of unique cognitive maps that reflect individual perception of a city.
