Science, technology and the crisis o f Geography

Abstract

This article discusses the crisis of Geography and its relationship with the development of sciences, especially the so-called hard science. Its analysis is based on the emergence of new techniques and technologies, combined with the access to a series of digital geographic information. In this sense, geographers have seen their work field being reduced. Therefore, Geography has to follow the development of other sciences to keep itself as an autonomous and socially legitimated field of knowledge
