Does anyone know what it’s called when you study how people move through a given space? (eg: the patterns of waiters moving through their section/s?) Google just keeps sending me results for ergonomics and urban planning. Derp.

There’s a practice called “time and motion study” that was used by industry to study and optimize the way workers move when performing tasks.

Thank you, of all the suggestions this one seems to be the most accurate for what I was thinking of.

I guess it depends on what aspect of movement you’re studying and what kind of analytic framework you’re using. Ergonomics is not far off imo. ‘Time-and-motion studies’ is the field that fits a Taylorist framework - ‘workplace studies’ fits a more ethnomethodological framework.
