Abstract

In this letter I try to outline a definition of Technical Geography as an emerging new branch of Geography. The first part presents personal views based on two fundamental concepts: spatial and temporal AUTOCORRELATION and FREQUENCY. In the second part I present viewpoints from literature, as Technical Geography, which relies on spatial techniques, statistical techniques and modern technologies, is seen as a branch serving the geo-informational management and the decision-making system. I anticipate that in the not-too-distant future, the thorough research and constant increase in the number of Technical Geography applications will make all fields of Geography become technical and will remain so in the future.
