The concept of geographical space

Abstract

In the process of shaping the geography as a science there appeared two research trends. One of them is reflected in ongoing scientific specialization and isolation of new disciplines, while the other is characterized by making attempts to synthesize the results achieved by the specialized disciplines. Against this background, this paper is trying to find a frame to synthesize the phenomena through the relations between the natural, socio-economic and cultural elements of geographical space. More and more precise study of the processes of the geographical space is necessary to understand and make rational decisions concerning the transformation of spatial systems.
