Development and Problems in Automated Geography
Online published: 2010-03-25
With the development of technology and the quantitative revolution within geography, automated geography was brought about in western countries during the 1980s and was replaced by Geocomputation in 1990s. It means the application of automated electric technology and devices in combination to explain geographic phenomenon and solve geographic problems. Automated geography was concerned and criticized by a great number of scholars and scientists of various fields from different angles, including technological, academic, theoretical, political and societal dimensions. These make automated geography to develop both conceptually and technologically, and they also improve our understanding of geographic representation under digital environment and its possible social consequences. To examine the development process of automated geography in the Western countries is helpful to the development of GIS and geography in China.
Key words： automated geography; geocomputation; geography; GIS
