Theory and methodology in social geography

R. J. Johnston

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Three ways can be adopted for approaching the study of spatial patterns and processes in social geography, namely naive and sophisticated description, innocent appreciation, and realistic explanation. Whichever approach is followed will raise the question as to how far a viable separate sub-discipline of social geography can be recognized, and how the knowledge acquired might then be applied. -J.Sheail
