Summary/Abstract: At the examination of geographical distribution of economic activities mainly two fundamental approaches and their adequate mapping methods can be found. One of them treats spatial units as separate units, the other takes into consideration also spatial relationships. The present paper outlines the theoretical background of these two methods in short, then it introduces a new approach by combining the two methods, in a way which makes it possible to research the two aspects of spatial structure of economic activity simultaneously at the level of mapping and analysis. The author shows the method through selected knowledge- intensive branches of Hungary.
