THE INDOOR SPACE AS A DISTINCT ENVIRONMENTAL CATEGORY FOR SPATIAL ANALYSIS

Abstract The words "environment" and "space" demonstrate distinct spatial units. It must be questioned whether the internal space, seen as an analytical subcategory of space, adds specificities of this type of designation. Therefore, if indoor is a subcategory of space, then its characteristics and types of representation must be observed and analyzed considering aspects of space. The purpose of this article is to present the characteristics of the indoor space unit as a subcategory of space. The “space” terminology applied to specify the indoor spatial unit has some features of spatial analysis that allow a broader and deeper spectrum as an object of study. Compared to space, the "environment" proves to be limited to represent the characteristics of the indoor. The intern must be understood as a space within a space, inserting a subcategory of the urban space, however, it is never seen as in its entirety. The totality does not observe space as it is, but everything within it. Space, as a creation of man, allows the creation of subspaces with no connection to the outside, in the category called indoor contributing to the analysis procedures based on the understanding of their relationships.
