1 AP Human Geography Basic Concepts

2 An in-depth Social Science Many people have misconceptions about geography and think of the discipline as simply an exercise in memorizing place names.

3 Where we find Geography? Geography exist in the global issues receiving attention at this time; things such as Population growth Terrorism Cultural diffusion. Diffusion is defined as the spread of linguistic or cultural practices or innovations within a community or from one community to another.

4 Location, Location, Location Geography's importance can also be established by looking at community issues, such as: Water supply Pollution Growth management Housing Retail Openings and Closures

5 Thinking Geographically In addition to political rule, boundaries can be drawn based on various components of culture including language, religion, values.

6 Questions to Ponder Where would the most desirable places to live be located? What impacts would this population increase cause?

7 Every Story Can be approached from a Geographers Perspective Consider natural events and natural disasters. Do humans choose to live in harm s way?

8 Spatial analysis Geography by its nature is a spatial science. Geographers therefore study space in order to locate the distribution of people and objects. Geographers ask two main questions, where and why. Spatial analysis is concerned with analyzing regularities achieved through interaction. Regularities result in a distinctive distribution of a feature. Distribution has three properties: Density Concentration Pattern

9 World Political Boundaries (2004) Fig. 1-1: National political boundaries are among the most significant elements of the cultural landscape

10 How Geographers Address Location Maps Early mapmaking Map scale Projection Land Ordinance of 1785 Contemporary Tools GIS Remote sensing GPS

11 Ptolemy s view of the world c150ad

12 Old Islamic Maps Fulfilling the duties of formal prayers and the pilgrimage, Muslims need to find the direction and routes leading to al Ka'ba from virtually any spot on the globe. The Ka'ba is the house of Abraham in Mecca. And it is the point at which Muslims must face when they perform prayers. Left - map of the world in 1154 by Idrissi Right - map of the world made by the Muslim geographer Jihani in the 10th century of the Christian era.

13 Maps of the Marshall Islands Fig. 1-2: A Polynesian stick chart depicts patterns of waves on the sea route between two South Pacific islands. Modern maps show the locations of these Marshall Islands.

14 Scale Differences: Maps of Florida Fig. 1-3: The effects of scale in maps of Florida. (Scales from 1:10 million to 1:10,000)

15 Examples of Map Projections Robinson Projection

16 Township and Range System in the U.S. Fig. 1-4: Principal meridians and east-west baselines of the township system. Townships in northwest Mississippi and topographic map of the area.

17 Layers of a GIS Fig. 1-5: A geographic information system (GIS) stores information about a location in several layers. Each layer represents a different category of information.

18 GPS

19 Uniqueness of Places and Regions Place: Unique location of a feature Place names Site Situation Mathematical location Regions: Areas of unique characteristics Cultural landscape Types of regions Regional integration of culture Cultural ecology

20 Site: Lower Manhattan Island Fig. 1-6: Site of lower Manhattan Island, New York City. There have been many changes to the area over the last 200 years.

21 Situation: Singapore Fig. 1-7: Singapore is situated at a key location for international trade.

22 World Geographic Grid Fig. 1-8: The world geographic grid consists of meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude. The prime meridian (0º) passes through Greenwich, England.

23 World Time Zones Fig. 1-9: The world s 24 standard time zones are often depicted using the Mercator projection.

24 Election 2000: Regional Differences Fig. 1-10: Presidential election results by county and state illustrate differences in regional voting patterns.

25 Formal and Functional Regions Fig. 1-11: The state of Iowa is an example of a formal region; the areas of influence of various television stations are examples of functional regions.

26 Vernacular Regions Fig. 1-12: A number of factors are often used to define the South as a vernacular region, each of which identifies somewhat different boundaries.

27 Vernacular Region - Kurdistan

28 Spatial Association at Various Scales Fig. 1-13: Death rates from cancer in the U.S., Maryland, and Baltimore show different patterns that can identify associations with different factors.

29 Culture is a body of customary believes, material trades, and social forms that together constitute the distinct tradition of a group of people. The Latin root of culture is cultus, which means to care for. Example Agriculture (term for growing things) What is Culture?

30 Cultural Ecology Geographers also consider environmental factors as well as cultural factors, when looking at regions. Cultural Ecology - the geographic study of human-environmental relations. In the 19 th Century some geographers said that human actions were caused by environmental conditions. (environmental determinism) This is rejected by modern geographers that say some environmental conditions limit human actions. (possibilism) Of course now we are realizing that humans can actually adjust their environment. (For good or bad)

31 World Climate Regions Fig. 1-14: The modified Köppen system divides the world into five main climate regions.

32 This is the branch of geology that studies the characteristics and configuration and evolution of rocks and land forms. Geomorphology

33 Environmental Modification in the Netherlands Fig. 1-15: Polders and dikes have been used for extensive environmental modification in the Netherlands.

34 Environmental Modification in Florida View of Miami Beach The barrier Island Fig. 1-16: Straightening the Kissimmee River has had many unintended side effects.

35 Similarity of Different Places Scale: From local to global Globalization of economy Globalization of culture Space: Distribution of features Distribution Gender and ethnic diversity in space Connections between places Spatial interaction Diffusion

36 Globalization of the Economy Fig. 1-17: The Denso corporation is headquartered in Japan, but it has regional headquarters and other facilities in North America and Western Europe.

37 Globalization of Culture What are the major Elements of culture? Customary beliefs Social customs Material traits Affects of globalization of culture Fewer local differences Enhanced communications Unequal access Difficulty in maintaining of local traditions There is also globalization of environment Sensitive and insensitive environmental modification

38 Density, Concentration, and Pattern Housing density in Hong Kong Fig. 1-18: The density, concentration, and pattern (of houses in this example) may each vary in an area or landscape.

39 Density and Concentration of Baseball Teams, Fig. 1-19: The changing distribution of North American baseball teams illustrates the differences between density and concentration.

40 Space-Time Compression Fig. 1-20: The times required to cross the Atlantic, or orbit the Earth, illustrate how transport improvements have shrunk the world.

41 Spatial Interaction Interdependence exists among places based upon the degree of spatial interaction. Spatial interaction is established through the movement of people, ideas, and objects between regions. For example, Travel has changed considerably over the last 500 years. In the past, most forms of interaction among cultural groups required the physical movement of settlers, explores, and plunders from one place to another. Today travel by car or plane is much faster and communication is instantaneous. When places are connected to each other through a network, geographers say there is a spatial interaction between them.

42 Airline Route Networks Fig. 1-21: Delta Airlines, like many others, has configured its route network in a hub and spoke system.

43 Diffusion Diffusion is the process by which a characteristic spreads across space from one place to another over time. The place of origin of the characteristic is called the hearth. For example US, Canadian, and many Latin cultures can be traced back to the European Hearth. There are two basic types of diffusion: Relocation diffusion Expansion diffusion Expansion Diffusion includes: Hierarchical diffusion Contagious diffusion Stimulus diffusion
