Spatial

Perspective

A geographic perspective that seeks to identify and explain the uses of space

Clustered spatial pattern

The arrangement of objects on earth’s surface are clumped and close together

Dispersed spatial pattern

The arrangement of object objects on earths surface are spread out in an organized fashion

Random spatial pattern

Randomized arrangement of objects on earths surface

Map scale

The distance on a map in relation to distance in actual space for example 1 inch on a map might indicate a distance of 100 miles

Scale

The territorial extent of an idea or object

Absolute distance

The distance that can be measured with a standard unit of link such as a foot yard mile or kilometer

Relative distance

A measurement of the level of said cultural or economic similarity between places, despite they’re absolute distance from each other

Relative direction

A direction that can be described as position such as in front of or behind to the left or the right

Space

The areas we occupy as humans it has no value until the people who occupy it, make it their own

Place

How we modify space based on who we are as a group of people

Cultural landscape

The built forms that cultural groups create an inhabiting earth - Farmfield cities houses in so on and the meaning values representations and experiences associated with those forms

Site

Refers to the physical characteristics and location of where a settlement is built the physical location what’s already there

Situation

Describes how a settlement is located in relation to its surroundings and accessibility

Isoline map

On a map, a line that connects or links, different places that share a common or equal value, such as elevation

Topographic map

A graphic representation of the three-dimensional configuration of earths surface

Reference maps

A map that shows geographic locations on earth surface, such as the locations of cities or oceans

Thematic maps

Emphasize spatial patterns of geographic, statistics or attributes, and sometimes the relationship between them

Choropleth map

Mathematic map that shows data aggregated for a specific geographic area often using colors to represent different values

Cartogram map

A map that distort the geographic shape of an area in order to show the size of a specific variable, the larger area on a cardiogram larger the value of the underlying variable

Proportional/graduated circle map

A map that uses symbols such as circle circles or dots of different sizes to represent numerical values

Fieldwork

Learning and doing research involving firsthand experience, which takes place outside the classroom setting

Absolute location

A precise position on earths surface

Latitude

The horizontal lines Circling earth parallel to the equator latitude is the degree of distance north or south from the equator, which is at 0° as far as the pools which are at 90°

Longitude

The vertical lines on earths surface that mark imaginary circles, connecting the north Pole with the south Pole

Prime Meridian

The 0° longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England, also known as the Greenwich Meridian

Satellite imagery

Images of earths surface gathered from sensors, mounted on orbiting satellites the sensors record in both the visible and non-visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing humans to view patterns and processes that are both visible and invisible to the naked eye

The effects of using geographic data types

Affects of URS census, data and satellite images

census data have important implications for the people who live in a place and how they go about their daily lives

satellite data makes it Possible to better understand how earth is changing, which intern helps experts make better decisions

Global scales of analysis

Geographic scale that looks at geographic phenomena across the world

Regional scale of analysis

Geographic scale that identifies and analyzes Geographic phenomena within a particular region

National scales of analysis

Geographic scale that identifies and analyzes Geographic phenomenon within a specific country

Local scales of analysis

Geographic scale that identifies and analyzes Geographic phenomena within a state or province, a city or town or a neighborhood

Effects of changing the scale of analysis

A change in scale analysis Means a change in perspective

Formal region

A geographical area inhabited by people who have one or more traits in common

Functional/nodal region

A geographical area that has been organized to function, politically socially culturally or economically as one unit

Perceptual/vernacular region

A geographic area that is perceived to exist by its inhabitants based on the widespread acceptance and use of a unique legional name

Nodes

The functions are coordinated And directed example city, Halls, national capitals, county seats, Parish, churches factories, and banks

Metropolitan Area

An area composed of a heavily populated urban core in it’s less populated surrounding areas

Mercado projection

A map projection that is useful for navigation because the lines connecting points on the map represent the true compass direction. However, land masses become increasingly distorted the farther away they are from the equator.

Peters projection

A map projection that shows all land masses with their true areas, but distort their shape

Good homolosine projection

The map projection that avoids shape distortion and the restrictions of a rectangular map by creating interruptions in the maps continuity in each section that projection regions are shown equally like an orange peel being laid out in a flat surface distortion at Ocean direction

Polar projection

A map projection that looks down at earth from the perspective of one of the pools north Pole or south Pole distortion at equator

Robinson projection

A map projection that attempts to create the most visually appealing representation of earth by keeping all types of distortion, relatively low over most of the map distortion of all types, less than others distance distort at edge

Time space compression/convergence

The decreasing distance between places as measured by travel time or cost often summarized by the phrase. The world is shrinking.

Sense of place

How a person feels about a particular place and why is important to them

Contested boundaries

Boundaries that are disputed for religious political or cultural reasons

Placelessness

The feeling resulting from the standard Zatron Of the built environment occurs where local distinctiveness is erased in many places end up with similar cultural landscapes

sense of Place

How a person feels about a particular place and why it’s important to them

Place making

effort to use and design public places to better serve the needs of residence and to foster a stronger community

Cultural landscape

The built forms that cultural groups create an inhabiting earth
