  • Contents in English : Generally, social contacts between neighbours seems to bee enhanced by the presence of three variables in neighbourhoods: the opportunity for passive social contact, proximity to others, and appropriate space to interact. In this study the latter is focused, in an attempt to disentangle relevant spatial-physical neighbour attributes. The general aim of the present study is to investigate possible relationships between attributes of interactional space and neighbouring.
