However, comprehensive research focusing on indoor environments remains lacking due to the complexity of space-behaviour studies. This study addresses this gap by proposing a conceptual framework to evaluate indoor spatial behaviour through a mixed-method approach. Key elements are identified using affinity diagramming and expert elicitation, and presented in a visual summary. The “multi-dimensional assessment of indoor spatial behaviour (MAISB)” framework includes three indicators (movement, perception, and configuration) and six dimensions (psychological, personal, socio-cultural, environmental, spatial, and temporal) encompassing 24 parameters. Findings show that the MAISB framework enhances understanding of the relationship between human behaviour and indoor environments, offering a structured approach for evaluating and improving spaces in future studies. This framework helps to build the theoretical foundation to integrate various elements of spatial behaviour, ensuring a holistic perspective on the design and evaluation of indoor environments.
