1 Chapter 1: Basic Concepts The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography
2 Defining Geography Word coined by Eratosthenes Geo = Earth Graphia = writing Geography thus means earth writing
3 Contemporary Geography Geographers ask where and why Location and distribution are important terms Geographers are concerned with the tension between globalization and local diversity A division: physical geography and human geography
4 Geography s Vocabulary Place Region Scale Space Connections
5 Maps Two purposes As reference tools To find locations, to find one s way As communications tools To show the distribution of human and physical features
6 Early Map Making An Early City map. Figure 1-2
7 Maps: Scale Types of map scale Ratio or fraction Written Graphic Projection Distortion Shape Distance Relative size Direction
8 This type of map scale shows us a large area at the top, with progressively larger scale maps the further we go down. The larger scale maps show little detail, while the smaller scale maps show a wealth of detail. Figure 1-4
9 U.S. Land Ordinance of 1785 Township and range system Township = 6 sq. miles on each side North south lines = principal meridians East west lines = base lines Range Sections
10 Township and Range System Figure 1-5
11 Contemporary Tools Geographic Information Science (GIScience) Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Remote sensing Geographic information systems (GIS) Each map represents a set of information with Figure 1-7 Geographic Coordinates, which allows them to be combined with other maps to be more informative. This has changed dramatically with the advent of computers.
12 A Mash-up Figure 1-8
13 Place: Unique Location of a Feature Location Place names Site Toponym Situation Mathematical location Toponymy is the study of place names (toponyms), their origins, meanings, use and typology. The word "toponymy" is derived from the Greek words tópos (τόπος) ("place") and ónoma (ὄνοµα) ("name"). New York is named after the English city York.
14 Place: Mathematical Location Location of any place can be described precisely by meridians and parallels Meridians (lines of longitude) Prime meridian Parallels (lines of latitude) The equator N, W N, W S, E
15 The Cultural Landscape A unique combination of social relationships and physical processes Each region = a distinctive landscape People = the most important agents of change to Earth s surface
16 Types of Regions Formal (uniform) regions Example: Montana Functional (nodal) regions Example: the circulation area of a newspaper Vernacular (cultural) regions Example: the American South
17 Culture Origin from the Latin cultus, meaning to care for Two aspects: What people care about Beliefs, values, and customs What people take care of Earning a living; obtaining food, clothing, and shelter
18 Cultural Ecology The geographic study of human environment relationships Two perspectives: Environmental determinism Possibilism Modern geographers generally reject environmental determinism in favor of possibilism The theory that the environment sets certain constraints or limitations, but culture is otherwise determined by social conditions.
19 Climate Vegetation Soil Landforms Physical Processes These four processes are important for understanding human activities
20 Modifying the Environment Examples The Netherlands Polders The Florida Everglades Figure 1-21
21 Globalization Scale Economic globalization Transnational corporations Cultural globalization A global culture?
22 Space: Distribution of Features Distribution three features Density Arithmetic Physiological Agricultural Concentration Pattern
23 Space Time Compression Different forms of transport and communication have changed the way we travel and talk to on another. Think of all the technological inventions that have seemed to compress time. Figure 1-29
24 Spatial Interaction Transportation networks Electronic communications and the death of geography? Distance decay Figure 1-30
25 Diffusion The process by which a characteristic spreads across space and over time Hearth = source area for innovations Two types of diffusion Relocation Expansion Relocation diffusion: The spread of an idea through physical movement of people from one place to another. Ex: spread of AIDS from New York, California, & Florida. Expansion diffusion: The spread of a feature from one place to another in a snowballing process. Three types: hierarchical, contagious, stimulus -Hierarchical diffusion: The spread of an idea from persons or nodes of authority or power to other persons or places (Ex: hip-hop/rap music) -Contagious diffusion: The rapid, widespread diffusion of a characteristic throughout the population. (Ex: ideas placed on the internet) -Stimulus diffusion: the spread of an underlying principle, even though a characteristic itself apparently fails to diffuse. (Ex: PC & Apple competition, p40)
26 Relocation Diffusion: Example Figure 1-31
