Spatial Distance and Properties of the Environment

The model of spatial reality contains more than just the description of phenomena and their characteristics. There are also elements which determine the spatial dynamic such as the processes of diffusion, of displacement or of propagation. We already found out that space can be considered in a simple way in the flat dimension, or taking other characteristics such as the altitude or the height of vegetation into account, or including directional forces. In this unit, the theme of movement is introduced.
