Document Summary

Hagerstrand was a swedish geographer, his work on mobility and accessibility are particularly important. Personal indivisibility: we cannot be in more than 1 place at a given time, also you cannot exist, then not exist and then appear again. This is the idea that a person must be present at a given place at a certain time, this could be something like being in a class. These can x you to a given place at a given time. Ex if he has to drop his daughter at the bus stop at 8 he will be at the bus stop at. Space time prism think of the x axis as the spatial coordinates. However, we are consuming time but staying at the same place. So this would be a straight vertical line from 6-8 am (where we consume time but do not move spatially) Say at 12:30 he has to be present at the school for of ce hours.
