Time-space approaches developed for the study of human spatial behavior may be extended for the study of regional spatial organization. Though the two scales are different in terms of their temporal dimension, they also share a few common aspects
. The time-space approach for the regional scale may be defined using the same languages as used for the human scale. The time-space approach is useful particularly for the study urban growth.
The satisfaction of human needs in physical and virtual spaces
Competition ; Internet ; Social geography ; Space ; Virtual space ; e
This article explores the spatial dimension of Maslow's theory on the hierarchy of human needs, in light of the growing role of virtual space via the Internet in the contemporary information age.It explains that the growing role of virtual space has
evolved into an equivalent hierarchical relation-ship with physical space: complementarity, competition, substitution, escape, and, potentially also exclusivity. Escape from physical to virtual space, as both need and relationship, has been brought about
by social networking, being similar to the physical escape offered by tourism. It does not seem real to foresee that virtual space will offer exclusive fulfillment of as of yet unforeseen new human needs.

Space is a requisite as the air we breathe, the ground on which we stand, we walk over and through it. Human being is with space, he is part of space, he can not be absent from space. To be at all - to exist anyway - is to be somewhere
, and to be somewhere is toba with some kind of space. We are always surrounded by space. We live with space, relate to others with it, die with it. Within this context article deals with the problems arising from analytical approach towards the evaluation of different

The time of space and the space of time : the future of social science

Time and space are irremediably locked together and constitute a single dimension. Social science, as invented between 1850 and 1914, has involved limited interpretations of timespace emphasizing either eternal timespaces or episodic geopolitical

Mapping the terrain of time-space compression : power networks in everyday life
Capitalism ; Concept ; Daily life ; Economic system ; Partnership ; Power ; Social network ; Societal relations ; Space time
The A. seeks a more comprehensive mapping of the experience of time-space in late modernity. Building on Massey's notion of power geometry, he integrates discussions of time-space with an application of different understandings of power
and their manifestations - in latent-power conditions, socioeconomic networks, actor networks, local interpersonal relations, and the network spaces of subjectivity.

approaches to space in geography. It highlights some sciences and limits, factors that constrain, structure, and connect space. The paper then offers a moderate relationism by discussing the notion of phase space.
The Copernican shift in space tourism and its implications for tourism in the Great Karoo

With the widely anticipated launch of commercial suborbital space travel in the near future, space tourism is finally set to come into its own after decades of frustration. This article outlines the history of space tourism. The need for a number

of space. The A. develops the concept of the site via site ontology as an event-space that describes the differential contours and pressures of aggregating and dispersing bodies. The paper's contribution lies in considering how politics and political
potentials are specified by such event-spaces. The A. argues that subjectivity is often suspended where bodies encounter or get enlisted in the unanticipated connections and relations that site ontology describes.

that they reinforce dominant representations of the city and extend retailers’ reach into public space, but at the same time undermine spaces of business activity. It concludes that cultural mobilisation works to support the value-capturing strategies of local
retailers and to reinscribe urban spaces as spaces of consumption.
Emergency shelter topologies : locating humanitarian space in mobile and material practice
Catastrophe ; Materiality ; Mobility ; Political geography ; Space ; Topology
This article focuses on the emergency family tent and the shelter kit and traces the topological associations of humanitarian spaces as enacted through humanitarian practice. The former is shown to effect humanitarian space within the associations
of a network topology by acting as an ‘immutable mobile’, connecting different places of humanitarian crises with each other. In contrast, the latter is shown to effect humanitarian space within the associations of a fluid topology by acting as a ‘mutable
mobile’,ordering space according to an overlapping and partly simultaneous timeline of action. These different ‘shelter topologies’ are shown to convey different assumptions about, and underlie different topographic renderings of, humanitarian space.
