GEOGRAPHIC SPACE AS A SPHERE OF CONCEPTS: STRUCTURE AND CONSTITUENTS

Abstract

The paper reflects an attempt to structure a global sphere of concepts GEOGRAPHIC SPACE. The sphere of concepts is represented as a holistic phenomenon consisting, in its turn, of two minor spheres of concepts - NATURAL SPACE and POLITICAL-ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE, which correlate with each other through the constituting them components, thus reflecting classifying and categorizing human abilities. The interaction of these two spheres of concepts defines the necessary level of detail sufficient enough to identify a geographic site/object.
