TOPICS |
Eight Aspects of Spatial Thinking1. Comparison - How are places similar or different? How can we compare them fairly? 2. Aura (Influence) - What effect(s) does a feature have on nearby areas? 3. Region - What nearby places are similar to each other and can be grouped together? 4. Hierarchy - Where does this place fit in a hierarchy of nested areas? 5. Transition - Is the change between places abrupt, gradual, or irregular? 6. Analog - What distant places have similar situations and therefore may have similar conditions? 7. Pattern - Are there clusters, strings, rings, waves, or other non-random arrangements of features? 8. Assocation (Correlation) - Do features tend to occur together (have simlar spatial patterns)? |
