Abstract

In the contemporary consumer-oriented world, where desire often outweighs rationality, there is a growing significance attributed to specific-historical decision-making models, among which the Dutch navigational model stands out. The article explores the primary dimensions of importance and universality inherent in decision-making mechanisms within human life. Specifically, it examines the case of the historical-cultural, semantic, and environmental legacy of the East and West India Company in Amsterdam through the application of visual sociology techniques related to the environment and decision-making culture in the field stage. The examination of culture and the decision-making process, particularly within historical expansion processes as a scaling of outcomes, is intertwined with crucial dimensions of decision-making. These include aspects related to activity, volition, personal-status (social-power) attributions, and the consequential significance of decisions as agents shaping fate in history. Political-strategic decisions made collectively at the highest echelons were harmonized through a unified command structure with hierarchical elements, adherence to the ship's charter, the rationality inherent in navigational logic, and a system celebrating the success of the ship's crew upon the venture's completion. The core of the navigational decision system revolved around key inquiries that mirrored crucial stages of decision-making: Where am I (reconnaissance)? Where do I want to go (goal setting)? Which direction to go (orienteering)? How do I get there (tactics and ship navigation)? 


Multimedia thinking, characterized by visual clarity and the openness associated with terrestrial geography, necessitated the integration of virtual marine geography. This marine geography not only reflected concealed but quantifiable underwater factors but also aligned with the invisible environment, reconstructed on maps. Additionally, it harmonized with subjective-architectural construction cartography, collectively fostering flexibility in decision-making.
