The objective of the paper is to introduce the potential of the mobile phone positioning based social positioning method in geography and planning. Mobile phones are widespread and their positioning has achieved such accuracy that it can be used for social and geographical research. The Social Positioning Method (SPM) applies the phone location coordinates and social attributes of the phone carrier for studying the space-time behaviour of society. SPM studies gather similar movement data as GPS or Moby-Drive based tracing experiments. SPM differs from earlier mobile phone based tracking experiments in the sense that it includes the social attributes and other relevant information of phone owners.
