The aim of this research study is to explore the wandering of the individual in a proxemic-structured environment. An environment that consists not only of the spatial boundaries created by  "inanimate" objects, but also of the "animate" subjects that constantly affect the wandering of the individual. To achieve this exploration we first try to understand the way in which the individual functions in terms of biological and psychological status, starting from the base where the semiology of distance began, animals.

The Case Study focuses on the creation of a mechanism for the transcription and analyzing of routes, parts and distances within an urban web, which have acquired a new significance and topicality with the COVID-19 pandemic. This transcription method requires the existence of a subject whose daily activity is recorded and classified through a mechanism of recognition of movements and location with time changes.

After extracting the data for this time period, a first analysis of the results is performed to create a toolbox. The analysis of this toolbox focuses on the subject's behavior within each space (parts and means of public transport), which is influenced by the perception of "distance semiology" (Proxemics) as analyzed by the cultural anthropologist Edward T. Hall in his book The Hidden Dimension. This term refers to the study of proximity between people, and the distances they keep between them, creating a new way of approaching human behavior. This approach will be the compass for understanding the data of this mechanism and the "paradoxes" within them.

The purpose of this mechanism is to create a tool, through which each subject will be able to perceive the overall picture of his "footprints" and his behavior in the urban fabric and in public space.
