The time-space path, devised by Hägerstrand, shows the movement of an individual in the spatial-temporal environment with the constraints placed on the individual by these two factors. Three categories of constraints were identified by Hägerstrand:
The methods associated with time geography have been criticized by a number of postmodern and feminist geographers.
