'''''Geographia Technica''''' is a biannual [[open-access]] [[peer-reviewed]] [[academic journal]].<ref name=tech1>{{cite web |title=Technical Geography - an International Journal for the progress of Scientific Geography |url=https://technicalgeography.org/index.php/aims-and-scope |website=Geographia Technica |publisher="Geographia Technica" Association |access-date=4 September 2022}}</ref>

The journal focuses on quantitative and technical methods in the discipline of geography.<ref name =tech1/> The [[editor-in-chief]] is Ionel Haidu of the [[University of Lorraine]], France.

==Scope==

In recent years, the branch of [[technical geography]] has emerged as a major focus of the geography discipline.<ref name="Haidu1">{{cite journal |last1=Haidu |first1=Ionel |title=What is Technical Geography – a letter from the editor |journal=Geographia Technica |date=2016 |volume=11 |pages=1–5 |doi=10.21163/GT_2016.111.01|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name ="Ormeling1">{{cite book |last1=Ormeling |first1=Ferjan |title=Technical Geography Core concepts in the mapping sciences |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-84826-960-6 |pages=482}}</ref> Geographia Technica serves as an outlet for research focused on applying quantitative methods to geographic problems. These include [[spatial statistics]], [[geographic information systems]], [[remote sensing]], and [[cartography]], among others. The methods can be applied to topics in either [[Physical geography|physical]] or [[human geography]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Technical Geography - an International Journal for the progress of Scientific Geography: Aims and Scope |url=https://technicalgeography.org/index.php/aims-and-scope |website=Geographia Technica |publisher="Geographia Technica" Association |access-date=4 September 2022}}</ref>

==History==

The journal Geographia Technica was founded in 2006.<ref>{{cite journal |date=2006 |title=ROLUL GIS SI GPS IN MANAGEMENTUL ZONELOR DE DIZOLVARE PE DIAPIR - STUDIU DE CAZ: LACURILE S RATE DE LA SOVATA |url=http://www.technicalgeography.org/pdf/1_2006/gt_1_2006.pdf |journal=Geographia Technica |volume=1 |issue=1 |access-date=4 September 2022}}</ref> Geography techniques, such as GIS and remote sensing, are increasingly becoming disciplines in their own right.<ref name="Haidu1"/> This journal was founded to provide an outlet specific to research with a focus on these techniques as they are applied to human or physical geography concepts. This is essential because other scientific disciplines are increasingly using spatial techniques that originate in geography. The risk is that these other disciplines will completely usurp the methods and may do so without properly understanding their underlying concepts or requirements.<ref name="Haidu1"/> Geographia Technica was established to address this risk by providing an outlet for methods-focused research under the umbrella of geography.<ref name="Haidu1"/>
