GEOGRAPHY CONCEPT

1. Location Concept
The location concept is the main concepts that will be used to determine the geosphere phenomenon. The concept of shared locations on:
- Absolute location: location by latitude and longitude location is fixed. Example: Indonesia lies between 6 ° N-11 ° S and between 95 ° E-141 ° E.
- The relative location: location-dependent effect of the surrounding area and its changes. Example: Indonesia is located between Asia and Australia.

2. Distance concept
In social and economic life, the distance has significance. In geographic distance can be measured in two ways, namely geometric distance is expressed in units of length kilometers and intervals measured in time (mileage).

3. Accessibility concept
Difficult or easy it is an accessible location to be affected by the location, distance and conditions. Example: Surabaya and Jakarta can be reached by bus or plane.

4. Patterns Concept
The pattern is a regular geometric arrangement. For example, the application of the concept of population settlement pattern is a pattern that extends to follow the highway or river.

5. The concept of Geomorphology
Geomorphology is the study of the shape of the earth's surface. Geography science can not be separated from other forms of the earth's surface, such as mountains, hills, valleys and plains. This is what causes the surface of the earth is the object of study of geography.

6. Concept Agglomeration

9. Differentiation Concept Area
Different phenomena between one place to another. Example: a typical rural area of ​​rice fields and patterns.

10. The concept of Spatial Linkage
The linkage between a phenomenon with other phenomena constitute a spatial relation. For example, the relationship between the slope in a region with a thickness of the soil layer as well as the relationship between limestone regions with water shortages.
