Abstract

One of the most quoted authors in scientific papers that deal with territorial issues, Robert David Sack is constantly mentioned superficially, based on the initial concepts of territory and human territoriality presented in Human Territoriality: Its theory and history. This work, not yet officially translated for Portuguese, is the focus of this article, which seeks to produce a synthesis of Sack's theory and a relationship between its contents and the view of other authors, exploring potentially deeper aspects of its content and demonstrating its important contribution to the understanding of territoriality as a spatial strategy of control and influence, capable to produce effects and combinations of effects that directly impact the relations between people and the phenomena that manifest themselves in a territory..
