Economic-geographical space — an abstract and idealized representation of the totality of economic-geographical objects, which is simultaneously considered as a real physical space
Other types of space: economic — the totality of economic objects and the relationships between them, political, informational, etc.
Economic-geographical space goes beyond physical space, as individual relationships and processes do not have a definite physical dimension
Economic-geographical space: Continuity and Discreteness
Continuity
- A property that considers space as a continuous, flat formation
- Allows for a more realistic picture of the world
Discreteness
- A property that considers space as a collection of separate objects
- Allows for the identification of individual objects, enabling more detailed research
Dimensionality of economic-geographical space
Positional properties of economic-geographical space
- Metric distances
- Topological distances
- Value, time distances
The phenomenon of space compression
time-space compression, shrinking world effect
- Intensification of events per unit of time and space (D. Harvey)
HARVEY, David. 1992. The condition of postmodernity. Cambridge, US: Blackwell
Temporal characteristics of objects
- Highlighting temporal dimensions for different economic processes (month, quarter, year)
- The concept of cyclicality and seasonality
- Highlighting stages, milestones of economic development
Concepts related to temporal changes:
- development, stagnation, degradation
- transformation
- modernization
Tendencies
- Acceleration of all economic processes
- The onset of the era of scientific and technological revolution (STR)
- Significant differences in the speeds of development and transformation of nature, society, and economy (source of modern ecological crises)
“Time trap”
The saving of time in the compression of space is quite conditional, as it requires significant resource expenditures (often unjustified).
