Abstract :
Cyber space cannot be fully understood without understanding the role of space. Cyber space is a complex, decentralized and dynamic space with many components and diverse features. Therefore, the field of cyberspace geography is relatively new and much more variable than other environments. But what initially seemed like the Internet was supposed to end geography; But this was not the case and the cyber space was used as a complement to the geographical space. Therefore, in the current era, each of the geographical sciences seeks to understand the dimensions of cyber space, among which political geography is a science that discusses and examines the concepts of cyber space. Based on this, the current research is based on the method of content analysis and the use of library data in order to answer the question, what is the conceptualization and scope of the political geography of cyber space? The findings show that cyberspace and related technologies are one of the most important sources of power in the third millennium. Therefore, cyberspace is considered one of the geopolitical power generating components for countries; So that today powerful countries influence other countries by using the capacities of cyber space. On this basis, the political geography of cyberspace is formed from human action with a political dimension on cyberspace. Therefore, political geographers can study the cyberspace and present plans to the statesmen to organize this space in line with [its better management].
