Legal Definitions - jus spatiandi

Jus Spatiandi is a legal term that means the right to walk around in a specific area for recreational or educational purposes. It is a public right-of-way over certain land.

• A park that is open to the public for walking, jogging, or picnicking is an example of jus spatiandi.
• A nature reserve that allows visitors to walk around and observe wildlife is also an example of jus spatiandi.

These examples illustrate the definition of jus spatiandi because they both involve public access to specific areas for recreational or educational purposes. The public has the right to walk around and enjoy these areas, and the landowners have a legal obligation to allow this access.
