Hilda is extending her personal space by placing her coat and books on the chairs next to her. Personal space is the region around a person which they regard as their own territory. Intimate space refers to the very close proximity to a person that is reserved only for highly personal communications such as embracing or whispering; social space refers to the area that people maintain between each other during interactions that are considered more formal or professional; public space refers to the space used by the community at large such as streets and parks.
