Abstract
Geography versus spatial management. The aim of the article is to draw attention
to substantive connections that combine spatial management with geography, first of all with
socio-economic geography. Both disciplines are of a multidimensional nature and they expose
physical space as a field of their interests. The convergence of disciplines is also reflected in the
research methodology – a spatial analysis has been developing in socio-economic geography
since the 1960s by the so-called spatial direction. Both disciplines are competitive not only on
the scientific, but also educational and utilitarian (socio-economic practice) market. The article
focuses on the essence and a cognitive sense of both fields, in general, and on their scope
of competence. Spatial management should be developed as part of basic sciences, including
geography as its professional specialization.
