The geographic perspective involves examining how spatial features (such as location, distribution, and interaction of phenomena) are related to nonspatial issues (such as culture, economics, and politics). This distinguishes geography from other fields of study that focus on either only spatial or nonspatial aspects. The use of computers or field work is not what distinguishes geography from other fields. The scientific method is still important in geography as in any other scientific field.
