environmental system

A <system> which has the disposition to surround and interact with one or more material entities.

The social and physical environment surrounding a person.

'The term 'disposition' is used to describe that an environmental system can surround and interact with one or more material entities. This conditionality is important, as an entity does not necessarily have to be in an specific environment system at all times. The class 'environmental system' relates to what is found in the physical and social environment (e.g., how many streets are there for you to walk on), while the class 'opportunity' is about the features of the environment and how they interact with the person (e.g., whether an environment enables a person to take walks). 'environmental system' includes physical and social aspects of the environment. As all subclasses of 'environmental system' will have physical aspects, a separate subclass for 'physical environmental system' would not capture a unique aspect of its parent class.
