It was co-written using transcripts of discussion together with debate on symbol selection, to select key meanings to share with a wider audience.

This article reports on a study aimed at identifying the relationship between such locational activities and their impact on the social integration of physically disabled and able-bodied persons, as measured by the friendships they form and the frequency with which they meet outside the confines of the host agency. Based on a sample of members of a NGO in Hong Kong, the major finding is that joint locational activities have a spill-over effect on able-bodied participants, but not on the physically disabled. The implications are discussed and recommendations are made.
