خلاصه	Activity space analysis measures the geographic area within which an individual moves and carries out their routine daily activities — home, work, shopping, leisure — and the travel that links them. By delineating this lived spatial footprint from observed visit locations, it reveals how far and in what directions people actually range, and what environments they are exposed to in the course of ordinary life. It bridges the behavioural geography of Golledge and Stimson with modern mobility and health research that links where people go to the contexts they encounter.	The space-time cube is a framework from time geography for representing and analyzing phenomena that move and change over both space and time. Two horizontal axes carry geographic location and a vertical axis carries time, so each observation becomes a point in a three-dimensional x–y–t volume and a moving object traces a continuous 'space-time path' through the cube. Introduced conceptually by Torsten Hägerstrand in 1970 and turned into a practical analytic and cartographic tool by Menno-Jan Kraak, it underpins modern spatiotemporal hot-spot and trajectory analysis.
