GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Current Lecture-Accessibility oOpportunity for contact or interaction between two locations -Proximity or distance is important in assessing how accessible something is -Connectivity is also critical - networks like streets, roads, internet -Economic, Cultural, Social, - (operating hours, ability to bear costs of access, cultural barriers)-Spatial Interaction oRefers to the movement or flows of human activity -Complementarity, transferability, intervening opportunity, spatial diffusion -Complementarity There must be a complementary need for the interaction Determined through: -Physical environment -International division of labor -Economies of scale -Transferability The costs of moving an item from one location to another -Depends on the place in question and the items market value -Is the area well connected? Can the price of the market bear the costs associated with the travel? Time - Space Convergence-The rate at which places move closer together in travel or communication -Through technologies, there is a decrease in the friction of distance -Intervening Opportunities Alternative destinations or points of origin. Determines not the directionor the network, but the flow or pattern of interaction -Spatial DiffusionThe way things spread over space and time Consider spread of disease…mapping diseases and then analyzing how they become diffused over space tells us something -Regional Analysis oUnderstand complex relations between people and places in terms of similarities and differences oRegionalization - classification - an area sharing the same common coherence -(Right) Meining's Core - domain - Sphere concept -Regionalism - circumstances where different religious or ethnic groups with distinctive identities co-exist -Sectionalism - when those feelings of collective identity develop into extreme devotion with an intent towards autonomy -Irredentism - an assertion by the government of a country that a minority living outside its formal boundary belongs to it - often leads to war oLandscape-Landscapes are collections of evidence about the character of inhabitants - bear the markings of human actvity through our imprints. Read landscapes for names, architectural types, design, symbols -Vernacular landscape - everyday landscapes filled with items of importance and value -Symbolic landscape - formal, often architectural symbols. EX. Neo-classical buildings in Washington, D.C. oSense of Place -Feelings evoked among people as a result of their experiences and memories they associate with a particular place Insiders vs
