Abstract
Knowledge is produced and developed in social and spatial settings, such as communities and networks. Knowledge and its spaces are complex and dynamic, which poses a problem to the modeller of monitoring and representation. In this chapter, the elements of knowledge and space are introduced with the purpose of developing a pragmatic approach for professional practice. Knowledge and space are discussed in terms of their interrelatedness, hierarchy and dimensionality. We continue to approach methods of representation by outlining key themes in frame and data analysis. These ‘abstract’ notions are given greater substance by way of a provocative case-study example of social and spatial change relating to a refuse disposal site in Merseyside. Finally, an overview of the remainder of the present book is provided.
