Recently, research has also been focused on conceptual or non-physical territoriality, based on groups with special education, the professions etc. A study was carried out in Gothenburg 1986 with the aim of developing and testing hypotheses on non-physical territoriality in health care organizations in Sweden. Similar studies were performed in the other Nordic countries. This survey is number two of five subsequent articles with the results from Iceland. In this paper two hypotheses were tested: 1.

The majority thinks that the GP should examine and treat these patients. The GPs agree more strongly on this subject than other specialists in Iceland.
