Sheran,
The simple answer is yes - space use varies for different social categories.
In fact this is fundamental to our understanding of the social function of
buildings and cities. Space creates interfaces between different social
groups by patterning their use of space differently, and so facilitating or
inhibiting chances that certain categories meet in certain locations. There
is a lot of detailed evidence on different aspects of this in the
literature, but if you really want to understand it its probably best to
talk...
