    Edward Hallsays there are four differentdistances that we keep between ourselvesand other people:intimate distance-0 to 18inches;personal distance-18 inches to 4 feet;

    social distance-4 to 12 feet; and publicdistance-12 feet to thelimit ofsight.

    factors

    Researchersdivide environmentalspaces into threecategories:informal, semifixed-feature, and fixed-featurebased on theperceived permanence of thephysicalspace.

    Territorialityis an important concept in communication:typically, human beingsstake out space or territory.

    Territoriality describes the need to demonstrate apossessive or ownership relationship to space.Markersare used to reservespace and set boundaries that helpidentify thespace as belonging to someone.
