• Personal Space – is the maximum space available to a person in a stationary

position.

like gymnasia, the swimming pool, classroom, ballroom, plaza & others.

 Elements of Space (DLRPF)

1. Direction – This refers the movements: forward, backward, upward, downward,

sideways, right, left, diagonals and combinations of all these.
