Attributive properties of geographical space and patterns of spatial development
Abstract
Attributive properties of geographic space are singled out (geotoriality, continuity, discreteness, multidimensionality and coherence). Systematised and developed ideas about the criteria of geography (geotoriality, complexity, specificity, globality and glocality) – the main features of geographical thinking, which predetermine the essence of the geospatial paradigm as a methodological basis for geographical research. Spatial structures of Belarus are divided into institutional and dissipative. The selection of seven spatial processes-regularities is theoretically substantiated. The multilevel nature of the center-periphery processes, which include polarisation, fragmentation and hierarchisation, is proved. The processes of integration of spatial structures include continualisation, agglomeration and conglomeration, while continualisation and conglomeration are described for the first time in this context. It is substantiated that the joint action of the processes of spatial integration and center-periphery processes leads to the regionalisation of geographical space. The knowledge of geographical patterns is considered as the most important mechanism for optimising the policy of spatial development.
