Adapting Barker’s ((2019). The Journal of Navigation, 72(3), 539–554) taxonomy of wayfinding behaviours – originally developed for man-made environments, paper and screen – we examined which behaviours are also found in the outdoors. In the analysis of the collected data from a questionnaire (n=401), we find that participants employ every category in Barker’s framework of social, semantic and spatial behaviours. Our respondents report the use of digital maps on a mobile phone as the most common behaviour, with following directional signs as the second most used. Furthermore, social wayfinding behaviours figure prominently and the participants express preferences for various information sources. We demonstrate similarities of behaviours across the different types of environments and we confirm the applicability of Barker’s taxonomy of wayfinding behaviours also in nature. Our study generates knowledge that potentially can make navigation simpler and more efficient through wayfinding design, and lead to heightened feeling of safety in the outdoors. Wayfinding behaviour studies, like this one, can serve as a bridge between human psychology and practical design.
