Abstract：Assessment of geo-setting is an important field in political geographical studies and is critical for identifying geopolitical risks and making geopolitical strategies. However, few studies have examined the scale problem in assessing geo-setting. Based on previous geographical research on the concept of scale and the theoretical perspective of scalar traps proposed by Fenglong Wang, this paper summarizes 4 types of scalar traps in research on assessment of geo-setting. First, since the selection of geographical scopes and level of resolution is mutually dependent with the results of assessing geo-setting, there is a scalar trap of selecting the optimal scale for assessing geo-setting. Second, since we should consider components of geo-setting at different scales yet the indicators at different scales may be incomparable, assessment of geo-setting need to deal with the trap of multiple-scale coupling. Third, because assessment of geo-setting should incorporate different elements of different scalar forms, e.g. some indicators are calculated based on areal region yet some others are calculated based on network, it is difficult to integrate these indicators into a unified framework. Forth, to balance the demands of evaluating comprehensive indicators and proposing priorities for making geopolitical strategies in assessing geo-setting, it is necessary to overcome the scalar trap of trade-off between extensiveness and conciseness.
