THE 1960's: A DECADE OF PROGRESS IN GEOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION.
The emergence of geography as an abstract, theoretical science appears to have been the most overriding development in geographic research during the 1960's. Attention has focused on the spatial organization of economic, social, physical, political and urban processes, and on how outcomes generated...

Attention has focused on the spatial organization of economic, social, physical, political and urban processes, and on how outcomes generated by these processes are evidenced at given times and in particular places. Special attention has been placed on the spatial aspects of social processes, giving rise to a new social geography. Problems related to environmental perception and control have also been researched. Accompanying these developments has been a widespread acceptance of the need for more geographically- oriented quantitative methods for use in model building. Continued progress has been made in the observation and handling of data, computer programming, and the application of remote sensing to geographic problems. All of these developments have had impacts on the teaching of geography, especially at the high school and undergraduate college levels through projects sponsored by the Association of American Geographers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1970 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
