|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sequent occupance | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cultural landscape | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The total number of people divided by the total land area. This is what most people think of as density; how many people per area of land.
🗑
|

| Physiological density | show 🗑
|

| Hearth | show 🗑
|
||||
| Diffusion | show 🗑
|
||||
| Relocation diffusion | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The spread of a feature from one place to another in a snowballing process. This can happen in 3 ways.
🗑
|
||||
| Hierarchical diffusion | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The rapid, widespread diffusion of a characteristic throughout the population. (Ex: ideas placed on the internet)
🗑
|
||||
| Stimulus diffusion | show 🗑
|
||||
| Absolute distance | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Approximate measurement of the physical space between two places.
🗑
|
||||
| Distribution | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | 19th- and early 20th-century: to the study of geography that argued that the general laws sought by human geographers could be found in the physical sciences. Geography was therefore the study o f how the physical environment caused human activities.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Position on Earth’s surface using the coordinate system of longitude (that runs from North to South Pole) and latitude (that runs parallel to the equator).
🗑
|
||||
| show | Position on Earth’s surface relative to other features. (Ex: My house is west of 394).
🗑
|
||||
| show | The physical character of place; what is found at the location and why it is significant (For more on Site & Situation, see p.16).
🗑
|
||||
| show | The location of a place relative to other places. (For more on Site & Situation, see p.16).
🗑
|
||||
| show | he reduction in the time it takes to diffuse something to a distant place, as a result of improved communications and transportation system.
🗑
|
||||
| show | based on notion that distance requires some amount of effort, money, and/or energy to overcome. Because of this "friction," spatial interactions will tend to take place more often over shorter distances; quantity of interaction will decline with distance.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Diminishing in importance and eventual disappearance of a phenomenon with increasing distance from its origin. The farther away one group is from another, the less likely the two groups interact. (technology has helped with eliminating this)
🗑
|
||||
| Networks | show 🗑
|
||||
| Connectivity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The degree of ease with which it is possible to reach certain location from other locations. Accessibility varies from place to place and can be measured.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Refers to the physical gap or interval between two objects.
🗑
|
||||
| Spatial Distribution | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Is the estimation or determination of extent.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Representation of a real-world phenomenon at a certain level of reduction or generalization. In cartography, the ratio of map distance to ground distance, indicated on a map as a bar graph, representative fraction, and/or verbal statement.
🗑
|
||||
| show | uniform) or homogenous region is an area within which everyone shares in common one or mare distinctive characteristics. The shared feature could be a cultural value such as a common language, or an environmental climate.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Area organized around a node or focal point. A characteristic which defines a nodal region is at a central focus or node and is important outward. This region is tied to central point by transportation or communication or by economic or functional.
🗑
|
||||
| show | is a place that people believe exists as a part of their cultural identity. They emerge from peoples informal sense of place rather than from scientific models developed through geographic thought. Identified by mental map.
🗑
|
||||
| Possibilism | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | (Landscape of nature, not human-created things. Examples are forests and mountains)
🗑
|
||||
| show | A common property of distribution, which is the geometric arrangement of objects in space. Some features are organized in a geometric pattern, whereas others are distributed irregularly. Geographers observe that many objects form a linear distribution.
🗑
|

| Place Name | show 🗑
