CHANGING PARADIGMS OF GEOGRAPHY

Abstract

Nowadays for an appropriate, way to deal with geographic space there is an axiomatic need to accept an integrated approach both in terms of the way we regard geographic space and how we investigate it. This leads to a two-prong position: First, that geographic space constitutes a dialectic entity and second that the spatial methodological approaches presently in use are now absolute. That is, Geography has recently undergone a paradigm shift from Geoinformatics, which in their own way have replaced traditional concepts, towards an integrating approach, bringing Geography into a new paradigm, called in this paper Choroinformatics.
