You use the "Temporary Tablespace <ts_name> clause in the create/alter user command to assign a user to the TEMP TS for sorting, etc. Otherwise, ORACLE will will do all such activity for the user in the SYSTEM TS. Actually, you can name the TEMP TS anything you want as long as you use the clause above to point the user to it. TEMP is just the standard, meaningful, name for a TS for this activity.
