Time, space and regionalisation.

Abstract

It is of prime importance to provide a much more rigorous scrutiny of the concept of place than can be found in classical time-geography. 'Place' cannot be used simply to designate 'a point in space'. Introduces the term 'locale' to refer to the use of space to provide the settings of social interaction. The properties of these settings - in effect, the distribution of the conditions of action in space and time - are used by agents in the constitution of encounters across space and time. -from Editors
