13. Space -The amount of space between places
-The amount of connectivity between places

Spatial Interaction
• Interdependence exists among places based upon the degree of spatial interaction. • It is established through the movement of people, ideas, and objects between regions.

15. Distance Decay
Time and distance cause time-distance decay. Not only is distance an issue but the time it takes to reach an area also has an affect.
Distance decay has a negative correlation. As distance increases the level of connectivity decreases.
Everything is related to everything else but near things are more related than distant things. Distance decay is the idea that the further away something is the less it is influenced by it. Over time distance decay of innovation has declined. This has been due to the interconnectivity amongst places through colonization, improved methods of travel, and technology.
Time-distance decay can mean for example that if it takes too long for an idea or innovation to reach an area the less likely they are to adopt that idea or innovation.

16. Time-Space Convergence
The idea that distance between some places is actually shrinking as technology enables more rapid communication and increased interaction between those places.

17. Space-time compression
Defined as the decreasing effect of distance on the speed of human travel across space, in
movement of people and communications.
