    T h i n k S p a t i a l The UCSB brownbag forum on spatial thinking presents Reginald G. Golledge Professor, Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara The Nature of Geospatial Knowledge (and when to teach it) Ellison Hall 5824, 12:00 p.m. Wednesday, 21 May 2008 Abstract: Knowledge of spatial concepts is the key to enriched Spatial Thinking. I distinguish between the unconscious awareness of space and spatial relations that permeate our everyday behavior, and the level of spatial awareness that is achieved by developing a spatial concept vocabulary along with a (learned) comprehension of what the concepts and relations embedded in that vocabulary imply. To elaborate this idea, I build on the basic work of Mark and Egenhofer’s “Naïve Geography” paper. The result is a compendium of language and behaviors in space that support the idea that we all have different mixes of incidental and intentional spatial knowledge. Reginald Golledge obtained his PhD in Geography from the University of Iowa, and holds BA and MA degrees in Geography from the University of New England, Australia. His research interests focus on cognitive behavioral geography, including spatial decision making and behavior and environmental perception; transportation modeling; and geography and disability. Golledge is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Honors of the Association of American Geographers, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Grosvenor Medal for Geographic Education, and the Institute of Australian Geographers International Geographers Gold Medal. He also holds honorary degrees from Göteborg University and Simon Fraser University, Canada, and served as a Past President of the Association of American Geographers.

    Cities As Complex Systems: Scaling, Interactions, Networks, Dynamics and Urban Morphologies

    UCL CENTRE FOR ADVANCED SPATIAL ANALYSIS WORKING PAPERS SERIES Paper 131 - Feb 08 Cities as Complex Systems: Scaling, Interactions, Networks, Dynamics and Urban Morphologies ISSN 1467-1298 Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis University College London 1 - 19 Torrington Place Gower St London WC1E 7HB Tel: +44 (0)20 7679 1782 [email protected] www.casa.ucl.ac.uk Cities as Complex Systems† Scaling, Interactions, Networks, Dynamics and Urban Morphologies Michael Batty Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London, 1-19 Torrington Place, London WC1E 6BT, UK Email: [email protected], Web: www.casa.ucl.ac.uk Abstract Cities have been treated as systems for fifty year but only in the last two decades has the focus changed from aggregate equilibrium systems to more evolving systems whose structure merges from the bottom up. We first outline the rudiments of the traditional approach focusing on equilibrium and then discuss how the paradigm has changed to one which treats cities as emergent phenomena generated through a combination of hierarchical levels of decision, driven in decentralized fashion. This is consistent with the complexity sciences which dominate the simulation of urban form and function. We begin however with a review of equilibrium models, particularly those based on spatial interaction, and we then explore how simple dynamic frameworks can be fashioned to generate more realistic models. In exploring dynamics, nonlinear systems which admit chaos and bifurcation have relevance but recently more pragmatic schemes of structuring urban models based on cellular automata and agent-based modeling principles have come to the fore. Most urban models deal with the city in terms of the location of its economic and demographic activities but there is also a move to link such models to urban morphologies which are clearly fractal in structure.

Barnes University of British Columbia, Canada Abstract The thread linking the history and philosophy of geography literature for 2008–2009 is the return of previously expired approaches, particularly quantification and Marxism. On the one hand, there has been a resurgence of quantitative techniques combined with a critical political sensibility, and, on the other, a renewed interest in Marxism but leavened by various strains of poststructuralism.

    University of North Carolina Department of Geography Spring 2016 Geographic Thought: Seminar in the History and Philosophy of Geography M 3:30—6:30pm Carolina Hall 321 John Pickles, Earl N Phillips Distinguished Professor of International Studies The purpose of this course is to examine the historical and philosophical development of modern geography and geographical knowledge. We focus mainly on geography from the early nineteenth century to the present. The course explores the key discourses, debates, and controversies which shaped the modern discipline, and also raises questions about how developments seemingly internal to the discipline have related to broader dynamics in science and society. Each week students will be introduced to four aspects of these disciplinary histories: (i) the historical/political/social context within which claims about science and geographer emerged; (ii) philosophical arguments that emerged as central to definitions of science, explanation, understanding, and geography; (iii) sites within which such knowledge was produced (e.g., laboratory, the field, museums, botanical gardens, etc.); and (iv) selected individuals and groups that have played important roles in defining how we understand the world geographically. The seminar concludes with a survey of contemporary approaches in geography, and in discussion of the relations between natural and social sciences in geographic thought and practice. When we are finished, students should understand: 1. The theoretical and practical concerns that have molded contemporary Geography. 2. How geographers have variously understood the relationship between geographical knowledge and practice. 3. The broader epistemological and social contexts and conditions that underpin basic concepts and keywords in the discipline (nature, landscape, exploration, mapping, physical/human, determinism, diffusion, culture, space, place, positivism, eurocentricism, planetary science, empiricism, etc.).
  • Encounters with the Early Highpointers by Charles

    Encounters with the Early Highpointers by Charles

    SOME CLOSE (AND NOT SO CLOSE) ENCOUNTERS WITH THE EARLY HIGHPOINTERS BY CHARLES FERIS Many stories can be told of how we got our first inspiration to pursue this hobby of ours, this highpointing. We’ve been inspired in a hundred ways; mine arose during a period of boredom, while in college. Seeking something other than study, I took out a Rand McNally road atlas, and looked at a map of my native state of Illinois, noting the little red dot in the northwest corner of the state. Wow, something neat to do. So while the other kids were off to Florida, off to Charles Mound I went during spring break 1961. Then it hit me; I had already done Mt. Whitney the year before, so why not do all the states. Now I was really excited. The next few years saw me collecting 13 more highpoints in the Midwest and southeast. I went my merry way, never realizing that others might be crazy enough to be pursuing the very same project. At this point I was not aware of the tiny fraternity of early highpointers who were already years before me. I had no idea of the remarkable people I was about to meet. Then in August 1965 a Sierra Club friend of mine in Chicago told me about C. Rowland Stebbins. I had found a kindred soul, one who had already completed the 48. I phoned him immediately. Soon my wife and I were off on the four hour drive to Lansing, Michigan. We arrived to an expansive mansion on Moore’s River Drive atop a bluff overlooking the Grand River.

Director©s Statement for 1999/2000 1. Initial Goals and Purposes For more than two decades, the Institute for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research (ISBER) – formerly the Community and Organization Research Institute (CORI) – has served as the campus ORU for sponsored research in the social sciences and, to a lesser extent, the humanities and other units of the university. ISBER's original charge was to “serve as a major resource for basic research in the social sciences,” encouraging “faculty participation in interdisciplinary research.” With ISBER's absorption of the Social Process Research Institute (SPRI) in 1990, ISBER grew rapidly and became even more diverse in terms of client base, a trajectory which has accelerated in recent years.
