Abstract: The contention that space preferences determine spatial behaviour, and the claim that these preferences may be elicited from behavioural data are examined. Since not all behaviour is discretionary and not all choices are based on preferences, both the manner and the situations in which a preference-based approach is applied should be carefully selected. Conceptually it appears that revealed space-preference modelling reflects consistency of spatial choice rather than preference-based laws of spatial behaviour.
