Abstract
Geography can contribute its handling of spatial concepts, which were widely incorporated and reformulated from the 1950s, and which allow theorizing about the location, distribution of phenomena and their associations in the earth's surface. This is especially important today, when the amount of data available is vast and is continually growing. In this situation it is critical to reaffirm the importance of quantitative and positivist tradition in geography. Without losing the critical contributions that the discipline had in the last half century, and the ones that they have been made in various branches of human geography, from the historical to cultural geography.
