Geographies of Distance
• Friction of Distance
• Action at a Distance
• Time-Space Convergence: reduction of time required. to move people or goods over distances
• Cost-Space Convergence: reduction of expenditures, especially relative to income, required to move people or goods over distances
![Page 6: Cape Verde Islands Globalization Increasing connectedness of people and places through converging processes of economic, political and cultural change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d055503460f949d8a93/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• “Time-space compression is a term used by the geographer David Harvey (The Conditions of Postmodernity. Oxford: Blackwell, 1989) and refers to a process in which time is reorganized in such a way as to reduce the constraints of space, and visa versa. Time-space compression involves a shortening of time and a ‘shrinking’ of space. We might argue that if people in Manila can experience the same thing at the same time as others in Copenhagen, say a business transaction or a media event, then they live in effect in the same place; space has been annihilated by time compression. Harvey illustrates the process with maps of the world that shrink over time proportionately to the increasing speed of transportation. The world of the 1960s then is about one-fiftieth the size of the world of the sixteenth century because jet aircraft can travel at about fifty times the speed of a sailing ship.”

Space
Literally “area”, but two meanings are more prevalent in Geography.
• Absolute or abstract space: the sort of space that acts as a container for things
• Social or relative space: space produced through social interaction. Societies produce space and space, in turn, produces societies.– Public space: space made available by
the government or by private groups for political or leisurely activity.

Place
• Place: A portion of geographical space occupied by a person or thing, and thus given meaning. Place is constructed out of interconnected processes operating at all scales, but which come together in a unique configuration at a particular location.
![Page 21: Cape Verde Islands Globalization Increasing connectedness of people and places through converging processes of economic, political and cultural change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d055503460f949d8a93/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Environment Society Relations
• Cultural Landscape: The environment as it is altered by humans via the construction of built forms; the natural landscape as altered by humans.
• Political Ecology: the geographical study of the political processes at various scales that cause ecological change in a place or region
