Interactions among family members can yield valuable information for interpreting individual travel decisions. Typically, each family member plays a set role and travel decisions are made by considering the combined needs of household members. This study investigates both multiactivity and multiperson interactions in urban nuclear families and proposes the novel concepts of “activity-restriction degree” and “activity-constraint niche” to quantify the degree of space-time constraints within time geography. A structural equation model is employed to analyze intrahousehold interactions based on individual activity-travel patterns during the workday. The results indicate that the links between family members reflect behavioral responses (with constraints) between individuals and other family members. Household interaction constraints not only influence individual travel decisions but also affect the realization of the household activity for everyone. These interactions lead to reasonable adjustments and mutual support and to the identification of efficient activity patterns that meet the demands of the entire household.

Key scientific and application questions concern the relationships between individual-level activities and their effects on broader human phenomena, such as transportation systems and cities. Continuing advances in geographic information science, location-aware technologies, and geosimulation methods offer great potential for observational and simulation studies of human activities at high levels of spatiotemporal resolution. The author contributes by developing rigorous statements of the necessary space–time conditions for human interaction by extending a measurement theory for time geography. The extended measurement theory identifies necessary conditions both for physical and for virtual interaction. The theory suggests elegant and tractable solutions that can be derived from data available from location-aware technologies or geosimulation methods. These conditions and their solutions could be used to infer the possibilities for human interaction from detailed space–time trajectories and prisms generated from observation or simulation studies.

This study of the dynamics of shafi’ite school tried to uncover the diversity of the views regardingcertain problems among the scholars of Shafi’ite school and between particular scholar and the imamShafi’i himself. This focus deal with the dynamics existed in the Shafi’ite books. It should be done in thewise manner, for the dynamics it self was triggered by the certain situation and condition, differentcontexts, space, time, geography, circumstance and the condition of the nature that give birth to thedifferent legal regulation. To understand the dynamics that occurred in those Shafi’ite books easily, wemay borrow the rules of Arabic syntax namely ‘ilm nahw, associated with the rule of istitsna’ whichconsisted of six letters; illa, ‘adaa, siwa, ghairu, khala and hasya. Those six letters have the same functionthat is the exemption, but the usage of each letter in the sentence has different rule in Arabic grammar.The dynamics rise dualism of Islamic jurisprudence in Aceh, in which the sharia court refer to theCompilation of Islamic Jurisprudence, while tengku ( local muslim scholars) in Dayah refer to the turasbook of Shafi’ite school. Slowly, the friction started between the legal decision issued by the sharia courtand the fatwas issued by the tengku of Dayah (local Islamic boarding school), for instance, the issue oftalaq, inheritance and other legal issues.

Integrating social and spatial networks will be critical to new approaches to cities as systems of interaction. In this paper, we focus on the spatial and temporal conditions of encounters as a key condition for the formation of social networks. Drawing on classic approaches such as Freeman’s concept of segregation as ‘restriction on contact’, Hägerstrand’s time-geography, and recent explorations of social media locational data, we analysed the space-time structure of potential encounters latent in the urban trajectories of people with different income levels in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This approach allows us to estimate trajectories examining spatiotemporal positions in tweets, and assess spaces of potential encounter and levels of social diversity on the streets. Finally, we discuss the utility and limitations of an approach developed to grasp how clusters of encounters between groups with different income levels are produced.

Significant progress has been made in the analysis of space—time diary data. Drawing on the flexibility that such data provide, in this study the authors group respondents at five different levels of aggregation, and compare them according to their mean and standard deviation values for selected measures of travel behaviour. The measures, derived from the time—geography model, relate to the range and speed of daily movement and to the duration of activities. Wide variation in values were observed among subpopulations and role groups at each level of aggregation and, in general, these increased for higher levels of disaggregation. Graphic plots of the mean and standard deviation values permit evaluations of the effects of aggregation and provide a basis for identification of relationships between respondents' sociodemographic characteristics and their travel behaviour.
