How do we know so precisely how to behave in different places? Martin Klamt explores this question through an engaging examination of relevant theories and significant empirical data. By comparing various types of urban public spaces, he sheds light on the relationship between space, norms, control, and behavior. The subjective perception of space users is at the forefront of this analysis. Through an interdisciplinary perspective and methodology, the thesis is substantiated that norms and behavior are specifically tied to certain spaces: norms are situated.
