ABSTRACT

Research into human spatial behavior has fl ourished since the 1970s, with researchers conducting extensive empirical studies, which, in turn, yielded considerable theoretical advances. Their fi ndings, most notably those of Hägerstrand (1970), Anderson (1971), Chapin (1974), Parks and Thrift (1980), and Hanson and Hanson (1981), were eventually published jointly with other subsequent research in the fi eld in book form (Golledge and Stimson 1987; Golledge and Timmermans 1988; Golledge and Stimson 1997).
