Societies leave their cultural imprints on a place, contributing to the cumulative landscape.

Fashioning of a landscape by a cultural group.

Total number of people divided by land area.

Physiological Density

Number of people per unit of arable land, which is suitable for agriculture.

Region where innovative ideas originate.

Spread if an idea through physical movement.

The spread of a feature from one place to another in a snowballing process.

Hierarchical Diffusion

Spread of an idea from a person of power or influence.

Rapid, widespread diffusion of a characteristic throughout the population

Spread of an underlying principle, even though it may not apparently diffuse

Exact measurement of the physical space between two places

Approximate measure of the physical space between two places.

Arrangement of something across earth's surface.

Environmental Determinism

How the physical environment causes human activities

Position on earth's surface using coordinates.

position on earth's surface relative to other features.

Physical character of a place; what is found there, and why it is significant

location of a place relative to other places.

Space Time Compression

Reduction in time it takes to diffuse something to a distant place, as result of improved communications and transportation system.

Distance requires some amount of effort, money & energy to overcome. Spatial interactions will tend to take place more often over shorter distances.

Diminishing of importance and disappearance of a phenomenon with distance from it's origin.

Area within which everyone shares in common one or more distinctive characteristics.

Area organized around a node or focal point

Place that people believe exist as a part of their cultural identity

Physical environment may limit some human actions, but people can adjust to their environment

The way a landscape looks without man's interaction

Common property of distribution geometrically.
