Authority constraints

From Geography

Jump to: navigation, search

Authority constraints are restrictions who can not be influenced by ourself. Institutions are making rules, or opening houres, which are constraints because we are not able to do certain activities because of the restrictions (Thrift, 1977). For example, it is impossible to visit a camping at midnight, because that is not during opening hours. Also can be thought of having a driving license. When you own a driving license, you are allowed to drive a car, but when you don't own a driving license, you aren't allowed to drive a car so this is a constraint made by institutions.
