Proceeding down the centrality continuum brings us to regular use settings. These are places frequented on a more or less regular basis by an individual or group, where the individual or group plays some role in maintaining the setting, and/or encounters known others. Territorial functioning in those settings is the focus of this chapter. The settings included in this portion of the centrality continuum are diverse, and more geographically dispersed than the interior residential settings and outdoor spaces near home examined in the previous two chapters. Nonetheless, commonalities across these locations in terms of territorial functioning are evident. It is the relative position of these settings on the centrality continuum that helps explain similarities in territorial functioning in the settings.

The nature of regular use settings is examined and the characteristics of territorial functioning in those locations are outlined. Following the same practice used in the preceding two chapters, evidence of personal, social, physical, and “cultural” predictors of territorial functioning in these settings is presented. The types of places covered include work settings of different types. Arenas in which athletic contests are held are, however, also included. Then, psychological, social psychological, and ecological consequences are noted.
