Benno Werlen critised behavioral geography and believed that action should be fundamental and action should be a starting point not space. Action was defined by Max Weber as an activity which makes sense. All action has a goal, we do not perform an action unless we have a need and a meaning to do it. In order to make an action have sense we need to see how others actions relate to our own. It is these relations of actions and shared sense that form situations and interactions. An action will always have a motive. Actions are inter-subjective and it is this joint basis of actions which form Life worlds.
