Resumo(s)
The transition process between information and knowledge is faster and so the
inputs that influence social and political practises. The dissemination of
information is now determinant in terms of territorial competitiveness and both
public and private sector take large benefits when the data-information-
knowledge value chain repeats itself trough space and time. Mankind depends
nowadays on the creation and diffusion of good and reliable information. Speed
is also important and the greater the speed, the faster the opportunities for
global markets. Information must be an input for knowledge and obviously for
decision. So, the power of information is unquestionable. This paper focuses on
concepts like information, knowledge and other, more geographical and tries to
explain how territories change from real to virtual. Knowledge society appears
on an evolutional context in which information dissemination is wider and
technological potential overwrites traditional notions of Geography. To
understand the mutations over the territories, the causes and the consequences
emerges the Geography of the Knowledge Society, a new discipline inside
Geography with a special concern about modern society and socio-economical
developing models.
