what does it mean? | e*******o
发帖数: 4654 | 2 Chorology (from Greek χῶρος, khōros, "place, space"; and -λ
ογία, -logia) can mean
the study of the causal relations between geographical phenomena occurring
within a particular region
the study of the spatial distribution of organisms.
The goal of the chorological point of view is to know the character of
regions and places through comprehension of the existence together and
interrelations among different realms of reality and their varied
manifestations, and to comprehend the earth surface as a whole in its actual
arrangement in continents, larger and smaller regions, and places.Alfred
Hettner
In geography, the term was first used by Strabo. In the twentieth century,
Richard Hartshorne worked on that notion again.[1] The term was popularized
by Ferdinand von Richthofen, uncle of Manfred von Richthofen (aka the "Red
Baron").[2]
