ABSTRACT Time geography has been applied to study geographical situations characterised by intertwining temporal and spatial aspects. The availability of space for the conduct of land-use activities as temporal-action sequences can be investigated using time geography. The present study utilises time geography to examine how geography matters in the context of a contested mining proposal in Swedish Lapland, namely the case of reindeer herding in Gállok. The time-geographic notion of “packing” that denotes time–space compactness is utilised to investigate the room to manoeuvre available for reindeer herding. The theoretical entry lies in the idea that maximum nearness in human society has to do with the manner in which activities are organised in space and time. This is embraced by the time-geographic concept of the pocket of local order. The article reviews discussion in the literature of the notion of packing and discusses the organisation of reindeer herding as land use in the case studied. The study examines how space and time may matter in detail, as well as how the concept of the pocket of local order can be utilised to assess this and to detect the prevailing degree of packing. It suggests that such dependences represent more-than-subjective preconditions of operational character in land use. The study contributes to understanding of how the successful conduct of the business of land use may depend on the ability to maintain organisational coherence in a temporal–spatial sense.

太拥挤了？地方秩序中超主观的土地使用问题：瑞典拉普兰土地使用冲突案例

摘要 时间地理学已被用于研究以时间和空间方面相互交织为特征的地理情况。可以使用时间地理学来研究作为时间动作序列的土地利用活动的空间可用性。本研究利用时间地理学来研究地理在瑞典拉普兰有争议的采矿提案背景下的重要性，即 Gállok 的驯鹿放牧案例。“包装”的时间地理概念表示时空紧凑性，用于调查驯鹿放牧可用的回旋余地。理论入口在于这样一种观点，即人类社会的最大接近程度与活动在空间和时间上的组织方式有关。这被地方秩序口袋的时间地理概念所包含。本文回顾了文献中关于包装概念的讨论，并在所研究的案例中讨论了作为土地利用的驯鹿放牧组织。该研究详细研究了空间和时间的重要性，以及如何利用本地订单口袋的概念来评估这一点并检测普遍的包装程度。它表明，这种依赖性代表了土地利用操作特征的主观前提。该研究有助于理解土地使用业务的成功开展如何取决于在时间-空间意义上保持组织一致性的能力。该研究详细研究了空间和时间的重要性，以及如何利用本地订单口袋的概念来评估这一点并检测普遍的包装程度。它表明，这种依赖性代表了土地利用操作特征的主观前提。该研究有助于理解土地使用业务的成功开展如何取决于在时间-空间意义上保持组织一致性的能力。该研究详细研究了空间和时间的重要性，以及如何利用本地订单口袋的概念来评估这一点并检测普遍的包装程度。它表明，这种依赖性代表了土地利用操作特征的主观前提。该研究有助于理解土地使用业务的成功开展如何取决于在时间-空间意义上保持组织一致性的能力。
