Abstract

Human action on earth surface has a natural flowing result. This flow expresses all intentionality oriented towards a utilitarian logic, that is, the resolution of human survival is translated into the atribution of functions to the things. This behavior of man before things implies in the humanization of nature. The meaning of this is called geographic fact. Besides, we discuss the indispensability of this molding of things into human crafts, since being the things space, they are able of construction however the space in itself is not. In other words, we consider space a datum and, therefore, only able of qualification. Furthermore, we shall analyse the formation of place as expression and support, in a fundamental way, of the spacial qualification process and we elect the Phenomenology as the adequate approach of this study.
