Study Notes

Spatial Diffusion Concepts

Spatial Diffusion: Refers to how ideas or items spread from their origin to various, often distant, places connected directly or indirectly.
Innovation: Represents cultural changes stemming from new ideas generated within a social group, leading to their adoption by the culture.
Innovation "laggards": A gap between the adoption of new technologies and other social characteristics that progress at a slower rate.

Types of Diffusion

Relocation Diffusion: Involves the movement of innovation through migrating individuals or populations to new locations.
Expansion Diffusion: Characterized by the spread of innovations from one area to others due to direct or indirect interactions.
Contagious Diffusion: Describes the rapid spread of an innovation through widespread contact, often transferring from one practicing area to a nearby one.
Hierarchical Diffusion: Occurs when innovations first diffuse to major or significant areas before reaching smaller or less important locations later on.
