Definition of Transportation Geography

Transportation Geography

Transportation geographers research transportation networks (both private and public) and the use of those networks for moving people and goods.

In the traditional sense transportation comes under Spatial Geography:
Spatial Tradition (also called Locational Tradition)

* Mapping
* Spatial analysis
* Boundaries and densities
* Movement and transportation
* Quantitative techniques and tools, such as computerized mapping and Geographic Information Systems
* Central Place Theory
* Areal distribution
* Spatial patterns
