Interpersonal lines relate to relationships with others: parents, children, friends, or colleagues. They may also illustrate our spatial relationship with groups of people, associations, religious communities, or workplaces, to name just a few examples.
Interpersonal lines show how an individual’s relationships with the outside world are transposed into the two-dimensional environment of a geographical map. When they carry shared meaning, the places crossed by a line will shed new light on the relationship initially established.
