Navigation framework for digital environments

This paper conceptualizes the navigation process and presents an empirically tested framework for navigation. The framework was modeled according to literature review and four empirical studies reviewed shortly in this paper. The case studies show that navigation framework can describe low-level phenomenon of navigation process. It seems that navigation process consists of acting and browsing sub-processes that forms the navigation process. The contribution of this paper is to offer deeper understanding of users' behaviour in digital environments in order to design more usable and meaningful digital environments.
