The Geographical Planning of Space is the interdisciplinary knowledge, including three dimensions of "space and place", "activity" and "population" at the same time. The Geographical Planning of Space deals with these three categories in space planning from the perspective of geography knowledge. Articles that are merely "review and study", "analysis" and "evaluation" will not be accepted. Analysis and presenting accurate, documented, and practical solutions are the conditions of publishing scientific-research articles in this journal. The research that deals with the policy-making, decision making, planning, planning the geographical spaces and places from the perspective of the principles of geography science will be in printing priority in the geographical planning of space.
Important Research Priorities for the Geographical Planning of Space Journal:
