The term ‘model’ refers to a core scientific activity in and beyond the discipline of geography. But they are also viewed as modes of representation (of processes) as well as tools/instruments. Different concepts, aims and uses of ‘models’ are introduced and compared. More specifically, both social science and natural science perspectives are outlined and discussed.
