What makes a space invader?: passenger perceptions of personal space invasion in aircraft travelTools Lewis, Laura, Patel, Harshada, D’Cruz, Mirabelle and Cobb, Sue (2017) What makes a space invader?: passenger perceptions of personal space invasion in aircraft travel.

This paper presents a questionnaire study which investigated how air travellers are affected by invasions of personal space and how they attempt to adapt to, or counter, these invasions. In support of recent findings on the factors influencing air passenger comfort, the results of this study indicate that the invasion of personal space is not only caused by physical factors (e.g. physical contact with humans or objects), but also other sensory factors such as noise, smells or unwanted eye contact. The findings of this study have implications for the design of shared spaces.
