Spatial Learning Theory
Gersmehl’s Scissors:
Topical and Regional Analysis
An effective means of geographical learning
uses the interaction between two methods of
examination: topical and regional.
Topic: Seals
Region: Long Island
Spatial Learning Theory
Twelve Thought Modes

•
Location – Where?
Condition – What?
Situation – How?
Comparison
Aura – Influence
Regionalization

Location – Where?
• (x,y); Lat, Long; Address; Landmark; Roadway
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Condition – What?
• Campus, Park, Hospital, Roadways, …
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Situation – How?
• Connections: How is this place linked to others?
• Primary land donation, urban growth, infrastructure, …
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Comparison
• How are places similar or different?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Aura – Influence
• What effect(s) does a feature have on nearby
areas? Waterfront vs. Blight, Park vs. Industry
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Regionalization
• What nearby places are similar to each other for
grouping? By color? Street Density?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Regionalization
• How about now? By Shadows, Grassland,
Pixels ?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Hierarchy
• Where does this place fit into structure of nested areas?
State, City, Borough, Community, Campus, Building
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Transition
• Is the change between places abrupt, or
gradual? Cross-section, profile, Graph-able?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Pattern(s)?
• Are there imbalances, clusters or other
arrangements?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Pattern(s)?
• Are there imbalances, clusters or other
arrangements?
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Correlation
• Do features tend to occur together?
• Industry, Tall Buildings, High Density Housing, Parks?!
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Temporality
• Need Historic Photos for Area
• Independent, Individualistic Frame of Reference
Models
• Do features arrange themselves according to a
set of rules?
