Based on individuals’ location and the type of their presence in the built environment, this study suggests classifying individuals’ actions into four typologies. In addition, two categories of social interaction are introduced regarding the types of individuals’ actions. The proposed typologies allow researchers to better consider and classify the effective factors in the social interaction process among individuals in a built environment. ER -
