Hall's Zones of Proxemics

Hall's Zones of Proxemics describe how people use personal space in social interactions. These zones include: 1. **Intimate Zone** (0-18 inches): Reserved for close relationships, like family or partners. 2. **Personal Zone** (1.5-4 feet): For friends and acquaintances, allowing for comfort while maintaining some distance. 3. **Social Zone** (4-12 feet): Used in casual interactions, such as conversations with colleagues or strangers. 4. **Public Zone** (12+ feet): For larger gatherings, like public speaking, where personal space is expanded. Understanding these zones helps navigate social situations effectively and respect boundaries.
