摘要：Geographic Monitoring and Management. A Paradigmatic Approach. We generally consider that we operate with “present”;in fact,we are analyzing and forecasting future. Our possibilities to analyze future are restricted and we do not know how to think rationally and productively about it,because we are not accustomed to analyze it integratively and holistic. This is the reason why geography,a predictive science par excellence,is required to shift from the incipient phase of things observation to a further step of analyzing geographic facts’ structure,function and role within geosystems. The number of possible succession ways implies a process of carefully monitoring the events,while the determination of the geographic facts value requires both an integrative and a specific management. From this point of view,an important discrepancy is set between the ancestral practices to follow up “the sky and the earth” and the needs for exactness of nowadays phenomenology imposed by modern technologies. Thus,interpreting space,time,processes,phenomena or places,necessitates a monitoring process based on models and on performance techniques. The operational-realistic geography turns into a prospectiveforecasting one,with increased efficiency in fitting to society needs. The reflexive monitoring of human actions within communities may constitute an important element in discerning or interpreting aim hitting ways.
