Abstract
The long search for geography's uniqueness may be aided with the acceptance of its primary tool being the multiple-scale approach. This is the division of data on a given topic or area into significantly different groups by the scales of the information needed to describe, analyze, and present its distributions. By using several scales in a logical order during research and presentation, geographers can improve the contributions of the discipline to science.Keywords
