GIS (Geographic Information System)

Front

Super-accurate maps with different layers Used to study relationships between data sets

Back

Cultural Barriers

Front

Some practices, ideas, innovations are not acceptable/adoptable in a particular culture • Cultural taboos, e.g. pork, alcohol, contraceptives

Back

Relocation Diffusion

Front

Gets weaker in the core or hearth

Back

Culture

Front

The way a particular group of people live, how they dress, their beliefs and values, funeral & burial rituals and practices, and much more

Back

GPS (Global Positioning System)

Front

Precise location Navigation primary purpose Surveillance Used in GIS

Time-Distance Decay

Front

Farther from the source & the more time it takes, the less likely innovation adopted (more likely the same trait will develop differently) • Technology makes this less important

Back

Cultural hierarchy

Front

Cultural trait (most specific) Culture complex Culture system Culture region Cultural realm (least specific)

Back

Cultural Landscape

Absolute Location

Front

latitude/longitude Benefits of GPS (Global Positioning System) ALWAYS remains the same (in your life time)

Back

Time-Space Compression

Front

Refers to technologies that seem to accelerate or elide spatial and temporal distances, including technologies of communication (telegraph, telephones, fax machines, Internet), travel (rail, cars, trains, jets) and economics (the need to overcome spatial barriers, open up new markets, speed up production cycles, and reduce the turn-over time of capital).

Back

Remote Sensing

Front

Pictures taken above Earths crust

Back

Large Scale

Front

Map shows a small area with lots of detail

Back

Religous syncretism

Front

EXAMPLE) Combination of Native American motifs with Christian church architecture: a church in the shape of a tipi on Manitoulin Island, Ontario

Back

Expansion Diffusion

Front

Stays strong in core or hearth Spread of an innovation or idea . . . in such a way that the # of those influenced grows continuously larger, resulting in an expanding area of adoption

Back

Relative Location

Front

Location determined by what is closest around you Demonstrates focal points of the people Constantly changing

Back

Small Scale

Front

Map shows a large area with little detail

Back

Stimulus Diffusion

Front

Involves the transfer of an underlying concept or idea, without the specific accompanying traits due to some cultural or other barrier to the movement of the idea

Back

Acculturation

Front

Dominant culture forces traits on subjected peoples Conversely, the dominant culture will take on traits of weaker culture

Back

Site vs. Situation of place

Front

Site (New Orleans below sea level) Situation (New Orleans on the mouth of the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico)

Back

Contagious Diffusion

Front

Spread of an idea/trait/concept through a group of people or an area equally without regard to social class, economic position, or position of power

Back
