Document Summary
The solution sought after in many economic circumstances. You select the solution with which you are satisfied, even though you may know that a better one exists: uncertainty is present here and so is non-optimal judgement on your part. You use information to satisfy an expectation that will be suboptimal that is, you incorporate subjective judgement of the information available to you. Adaptive environments refer to how proxemics features affect the activities of people in an environment. That is, how fixed, semi-fixed and informal features (the intimate, personal, business and public distance) help or hinder people"s use of e(cid:374)(cid:448)iro(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts. For example, streets, curbs, and sidewalks are all shared fixed features. People cooperate in order not to collide a learned rule of the place. But for pa(cid:374)ha(cid:374)dli(cid:374)g, the features a(cid:374)d rules are used differe(cid:374)tl(cid:455) . Concealed locations are safe but not lucrative. Sidewalk and ambulatory exposures are highly visible but irritate pedestrians and do not generate income.
