地理尺度的概念尽管是地理学的基本概念之一，但与环境、空间和地点等其他核心概念相比，它的理论化程度较低。地理比例尺概念的两个方面(规模和水平)得到了相对较好的认识。第三个方面(比例关系)并非如此。在这篇探索性的论文中，考虑了传统上用来思考和写作尺度的隐喻的含义，并使用了一些地理尺度的音乐隐喻来勾勒出尺度作为一种关系的重要性。
The concept of geographical scale, despite being one of geography's foundational concepts, has been undertheorized compared to other core concepts such as environment space and place. Two aspects of the concept of geographical scale (size and level) are relatively well recognized. A third aspect (scale as relation) is not. In this exploratory paper, the implications of the metaphors conventionally used to think and write about scale are considered, and some musical metaphors of geographical scale are used to sketch out the importance of scale as a relation.
