spatial entity — English
A process, variable or phenomenon which occurs at a specific, definable, describable place or point on the Earth’s surface. We can plot it on a map to describe its place of occurrence (see “locality”). A spatial entity could be an object occurring at a certain point, but also a phenomenon occurring within a specific area or even in different areas. It might, however, also be a process or activity that occurs in a certain definable area (see “location”) that can be demarcated and mapped (see “demarcation”). For geographers, the important aspect is that the locality of the entity could be mapped.
