10
place
A specific point on earth with human and physical characteristics that distinguish it from other places
New cards
11
sequent occupancy
the succession of groups and cultural influences throughout a place’s history
New cards
12
relative scale/scale of analysis
the level of aggregation, or in other words, the level at which you group things together for examination
New cards
13
formal regions
areas of space that possess some homogeneous characteristic or uniformity
New cards
14
functional/nodal regions
areas that have a central place, or node, that is a focus or point of origin
New cards
15

New cards
16
absolute location
a point or place on the map using coordinates such as latitude and longitude
New cards
17
relative location
the location of a place compared to a known place or geographic feature
New cards
18
site
the physical characteristics of a place
New cards
19
situation
the place’s interrelatedness with other places
New cards
20
distance decay
the farther away different places are from a place of origin, the less likely interaction will be with the original place
New cards
21
friction of distance
movement incurs some form of cost, in the form of physical effort, energy, time; costs are proportional to the distance traveled
New cards
22
Space-Time Compression
Time-space compression refers to the set of processes (new tech, communication) that cause the relative distances between places to grow smaller.
New cards
23
