From Geography

In Benno Werlens work the Action setting (or Locale) denotes a spatial context of action, as a setting for action. It is constituted by material elements as well as by sets of social norms and culturally shared values, these should also be understood as material, socio-economic and socio-cultural constellation of action with intersubjective shared meaning contents.
Therefore, it is an action-related concept that cannot be turned into an objective fact or a generalized as a social category, having the same meaning for members of a society (in a certain region).
