  • Approach attempts to understand human activity in space, place, and environment
  • Study at the disaggregate level- from the perspective of individual person.
  • Recognize individuals vary from each other.
  • Model human activity and interaction

  • People evaluate decision alternatives according to their beliefs
  • Perceptual knowledge acquired via the senses
  • Human-environment relations are dynamic and bidirectional: The actions and mental states of individuals cause, and are caused by, physical and social environments
