THE GEOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE
Geography is non-linear
Geography occurs on a micro and a macro level
Geography is about the relationship of over lapping themes
It is broken up into Units, but the Units overlap
We expect you to see and apply these overlaps
Geography is: “the study of how observable spatial patterns
evolved through time” (Getis et al. 2009, p. 4)
