It is a science that deals with regions as part of the earth's surface, and includes geography, economics, sociology, demography, urban engineering, and others. However, nowadays it generally refers to the theory of W. Isard of the United States after World War II. It uses mathematical models to investigate the spatial dimension of human activities, and is considered a type of econometrics. According to Isard, the spatial dimension refers to the spatial relationships between humans and human activities, and the spatial relationships between these and the natural environment. While geography deals with the surface space filled with things, regional science studies abstract spaces to which quantitative methods can be easily applied.

地表面の一部分としての地域を対象とする科学で,地理学のほか,経済学,社会学,人口学,都市工学なども含まれる。しかし,現在では第2次世界大戦後のアメリカ合衆国の W.アイサードの学説をさすことが一般的となっている。これは,数学的モデルを用いて,人間活動の場所的次元を究明するものであり,計量経済学の一種とみなされている。アイサードによると,場所的次元とは,人間と人間活動相互間の空間関係,それらと自然環境との空間関係を意味する。地理学では事物で充填された地表空間を問題とするのに対し,地域科学では計量的手法が適用しやすい抽象的な空間が研究の対象となる。
