Abstract

AbstractAction spaces and the related topics of human spatial behavior patterns have been the subject of a great many studies. Despite this, theory development in behavioral geography has not proceeded rapidly. The slow progress in the theoretical area of behavioral geography in general, and action space in particular, may be attributed to the fact that the action‐space concept combines the diverse elements of perception, action, preference, and potential activity into one elusive term. Theory development might be facilitated if these elements were separated and an operational definition established. This paper presents an operational definition and description of the action component of action spaces and evaluates the application and utility of the concept in the study of spatial behavior patterns.
