What is NOT one of the types of territories?

The correct answer indicates that social territories are not typically recognized as distinct categories within the framework of territoriality. In the study of social and behavioral factors in design, territories are classified based on their function and the level of ownership or control an individual or group has over them.

Primary territories refer to spaces that are owned or personal spaces that individuals have exclusive access to, such as one’s home. Secondary territories are spaces that one utilizes but does not own, which can include work areas or community spaces where individuals have regular access. Public territories are areas accessible to everyone, such as parks or sidewalks, where personal ownership is absent, but people engage in social interactions.

Social territories, while they may describe social dynamics happening within various spaces, do not constitute an official category of territory when discussing territoriality in design. Hence, the absence of social territories as a formal type highlights a nuanced understanding of how different spaces influence social behavior and interactions.
