abstract = {This article is on collective phenomena in pedestrian
dynamics during the assembling and dispersal of gatherings.
To date pedestrian dynamics have been primarily studied in
the natural and engineering sciences. Pedestrians are
analyzed and modeled as driven particles revealing
self-organizing phenomena and complex transport
characteristics. However, pedestrians in crowds also behave
as living beings according to stimulus-response mechanisms
or act as human subjects on the basis of social norms,
social identities or strategies. To show where pedestrian
dynamics need social psychology in addition to the natural
sciences we propose the application of three
categories–phenomena, behavior and action. They permit a
clear discrimination between situations in which minimal
models from the natural sciences are appropriate and those
in which sociological and psychological concepts are needed.
To demonstrate the necessity of this framework, an
experiment in which a large group of people (n = 270) enters
a concert hall through two different spatial barrier
structures is analyzed. These two structures correspond to
everyday situations such as boarding trains and access to
immigration desks. Methods from the natural and social
sciences are applied. Firstly, physical measurements show
the influence of the spatial structure on the dynamics of
the entrance procedure. Density, waiting time and speed of
progress show large variations. Secondly, a questionnaire
study (n = 60) reveals how people perceive and evaluate
these entrance situations. Markedly different expectations,
social norms and strategies are associated with the two
spatial structures. The results from the questionnaire study
do not always conform to objective physical measures,
indicating the limitations of models which are based on
objective physical measures alone and which neglect
subjective perspectives.},
