متن کاملChildren's spatial thinking: does talk about the spatial world matter?
In this paper we examine the relations between parent spatial language input, children's own production of spatial language, and children's later spatial abilities.

New technologies and multilevel data sets that include geographic identifiers have heightened sociologists' interest in spatial analysis. I review several of the key concepts, measures, and methods that are brought into play in this work, and offer examples of their application in a variety of substantive fields. I argue that the most effective use of the new tools requires greater emphasis on ...

Certain concepts such as location, scale, representation, and distance play particularly important roles in the teaching and learning of geographic information systems (GIS). As GIS is increasingly used by people...
