Algorithmization of the description the relationship to the local space in daily life – social experience

Abstract

In daily life there are many relationships between human being and the local space. A typical feature of the state register (cadastre) is stability in time. But in other relationships to the local space – the role of time can be crucial.
In this paper the task of defining the relationships to the space in a formal way was undertaken. The method of making the conditions (facts) for the selected examples of relations was applied, and then the procedures (algorithms) were carried out, building the relationships to the local space, making it active for an individual or a group.
As examples, at first the relationships to 2D objects was presented, regarding the addressed fragment of the local space and the defined time when the relationship is active. Then the hierarchic structure of the space was taken into account by dividing it into smaller final units using a developed address recorded in the set of base conditions.
A reverse case was discussed – hierarchic increase of the area in subsequent steps of the procedure of defining the relationships between the activity and space. In this case the access to the subsequent larger and larger areas is the function of the eligibilities of individuals or social groups to the subsequent stage of extending the area up to its final maximal form. Such relationships take place in industrial companies, where the gradation of eligibilities is a form of protecting the production details.
Another relationship to the space is the relationship of the individual or group to linear objects, for example to the network of roads and marked trails. The example of the relationship to the network of trails and the complex case of the relationship, regarding additional conditions were presented.
The next section developing direct relationships to multistep relationships is discussed. It extends the feature only for the sequence of pedestrian movements combined with the traffic. In this case two relationships occur: the relationship to a spatial object and relationship to a linear object (the route of the vehicle).
In almost all the cases the time factor plays an important role in the relation to space, which is defined as one of the conditions in the set of base facts.
The contemporary time is the era of digitalisation of data and processes. The space we live, is a unique good. This good should be managed in a sustainable way Hence the need to explore, analyse and formalise various relationships to the space.
