Spatial Science is an approach in the human geography, starting in the 1950’s. Geographers in North America and Britain were convinced that geography could be treated as any other science. Their aim was to specify the laws of spatial organization, by looking at the spatial patterns in landscapes and the human activity in these landscapes.
