Does this make sense?
Can you help me to write this in a more effective way? Thank you.
Central to the development of spatial scale is an epistemological debate that emerged in the journal Environmental and Planning, whereby spatial scale was dichotomised into two approaches: positivist and hermeneutic. As Taylor and Johnston (1995) elucidated, the former is underpinned by an empiricist discourse influenced significantly by the quantitative revolution, whereas the latter a descriptive discourse concerned with wider social and cultural phenomena. Goodchild (1991) differentiated spatial scale from quantitative geography, highlighting the ‘fuzziness and generalization’ involved in cartography. According to Pickles (1993), however, geography enhanced by GIS ignored critiques of the reductionist ontology of spatial scale advanced by human geographers. Accordingly, considerable challenges exist when redefining the concept of space, which questioned the feasibility of the scientific method for studying social phenomena. With a view to future research, debate surrounding the epistemology of GIS has become less concerned with the ways in which the positivist approach can model data, and rather focuses on to what extent, and indeed resolution, wider implicit social and cultural qualitative data can be modelled (Shuurman, 2000).
