Abstract:
Man identifies the world in the form of images and these images intern
build up his own world. Boulding (1965) describes the image as a mental picture
which is a product of experience, attitudes , memories and immediate
sensations, which further makes each individual to build a unique image
different from another, even regarding a single thing , totally depending on his
or her uniqueness of personality. Further these menial images are used to
interpret information and to guide behavior, for it offers a relatively stable
ordering of relationships between meaningful objects and concepts. A complex of images, such a combination of events, persons, characters and objects as a whole, form the phenomena called the environmental images. The environmental images are a two way process between the observer and the environment. That is; people with their ability to sense and perceive, build images, with in a unique frame work of immediate sensation and memory of past experience and the environment with a capacity of evoking images, stimulate the sensation of people, in building an image.
