On the First Law of Geography: A Reply
D aniel Sui has sent me a written version of comments presented by five geographers at a panel on the first law of geography organized by him at the 2003 AAG meeting in New Orleans. The comments seem to fall into two camps: some reject the idea of ‘‘laws’’ in geography, and others feel that my notion has been of some merit. Interestingly, several other laws are cited in the comments; two by Isa...
متن کاملTerabytes of Tobler: Evaluating the First Law in a Massive, Domain-Neutral Representation of World Knowledge
The First Law of Geography states, “everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” Despite the fact that it is to a large degree what makes “spatial special,” the law has never been empirically evaluated on a large, domain-neutral representation of world knowledge. We address the gap in the literature about this critical idea by statistically ex...
متن کاملThe Benefits of Computer Assisted Cartography for Map Reading
It may be maintained by some that a discussion of the benefits of computer assisted cartography for map reading is premature, and in fact, it may correctly be pointed out that the testing by cartographers of map reading abilities on computer produced maps has not even begun as yet in a systematic way. This state of affairs is especially true of the testing of map reading abilities on 'temporary...
متن کاملFirst Law Analysis of a Compressar Using a Computer Simulation Model
To perform a second law analysis for a compressor, basic thermodynamic variables must be known. This data set can be generated by an analysis requiring use of the first law. This aspect is the focus of the paper. In developing a computer simulation model considerable attention has been given to the proper evaluation of cylinder thermodynamics and cyclic heat transfer. This model compares well w...
متن کاملMAP TRANSFORMATIONS OF GEOGRAPHIC SPACE by WALDO
Many geographic and economic models of human behavior in a spatial context indicate that the measuring rod of the geodesist or surveyor is less relevant than a scaling of distance in temporal or monetary units. It is necessary to take into account not only the shape of the earth but also the realities of transportation on this surface. Automobiles, trains, airplanes, and other media of transpor...
