In addition, what people consider a long distance changes over time. In the mid-1800s, Irish families held funeral-like ceremonies for emigrants leaving for the United States, Australia, and elsewhere. Trips by ship to these other lands were so long, expensive, and dangerous that families expected they would never see the departing person again. And they often didn't. But what seemed far away in the 1800s seems much closer today. A flight by jet from Dublin to Boston takes about seven hours, costs only two days' pay and is remarkably safe. 

SCALE AND DISTANCE 
A third factor shaping the perception of distance is scale. At a personal level, eight people crowded into an elevator, separated by inches, probably feel close together. At the community level, Tampa and Orlando seem close together, even though they are about 85 miles apart. At the global level, the countries of Mali and Chad seem close together, separated by only 1,500 miles. 

OTHER DISCIPLINES AND DISTANCE 
Geographers are not alone in studying distance. Historians might research the change over time in how immigrants viewed distance. Sociologists might focus on how distance affects how neighbors interact. However, unlike others who study human actions, geographers emphasize the role of distance and other concepts that describe spatial distribution.

Physical geography - the study of spatial characteristics of various elements of the physical environment
Human geography - the study of spatial characteristics of humans and human activities
Toponyms - place names
Time-space compression spatial interaction - the shrinking "time distance" between locations because of improved methods of transportation and communication
Friction of distance - the contact , movement, and flow of things between locations

Human- environment interaction -The dual relationship between humans and the natural world is called Human-environment interaction.  

Cultural ecology- is the study of how people adapt to the environment.

Environmental determinism-  is the belief that landforms and climate are the most powerful forces shaping human behavior and societal development.

Possibilism- A view that acknowledges limits on the effects of the natural environment focuses more on the role that human culture plays.

Landscape analysis- is the task of defining and describing landscapes

Field observation- the act of physically visiting a location and gathering info.
