Abstract. - In spite of the fact that quantitative revolution is already ancient history to most of those who participated in its innovations, there is still no complete agreement among geographers about the most appropriate form of scientific explanation in geography. Making use of his thesis methodology, the author attempts to make clear the nature and logic of the use of « search » and/or theoretical models in « scientific » geography. Following a criticism of methodology of explanation with special reference to the difficulty which steems from the equivocal nature of terms « explanation » and « models », the author goes on to present the logic stages of mathematical testing an hypothetical spacial structure using a factorial analysis framework.
