Yi-Fu Tuan  

Definition

  • The works of the Chinese American geographer Yi-Fu Tuan represent a major contribution to geographical scholarship. His huge corpus of writings reflects a humanistic-geographical approach that in the 1960s and 1970s went against the grain of positivistic studies that were reflected in the so-called quantitative revolution. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Tuan, Yi-Fu (1930–)]
