In social science, the activity space designates the "set of places individuals encounter as a result of their routine activities in everyday life[1]."
Definition
Activity space research started in the field of geography and urban planning, where scholars investigated the effect of urban spatial structure on individual behavior[2][3]. Horton and Reynolds define the activity space "as the subset of all urban locations with which the individual has direct contact as the result of day-to-day activities[3]." They consider the activity space as a subset of one's "action space," which they define as "the collection of all urban locations about which the individual has information and the subjective utility or preference he associates with these locations[3]". The "action space" is often use synonymously with the terms "awareness space[4]", "mental map[5]," and "cognitive map[6]."
