GENERAL STATEMENT
A.
This revision was prompted by a number of circumstances. First, the present program has
been in effect, with some modifications, since 1966. It has been an excellent program. But
during the past two decades the discipline has evolved in a variety of ways which have been
reflected in the curriculum by a series of incremental changes. The accumulation of these has
resulted In some imbalances and lack of clarity. Thus the feeling has grown that the structure of
the program itself should be re-examined.
Second, during the last six years the department has suffered the loss through retirement of four
senior faculty members. One more such loss will be felt next year, and one faculty member
resigned from the university. There have been four replacements. This turnover, along with
the evolving interests of the continuing faculty, represent the particulars of the generally
changing complexion of the discipline as they apply in this department. The re-shaping of
courses, the proposals for new courses and the elimination of others, along with the prospect of
changes in coming years, combine to suggest the need to provide a curriculum structure capable
of accommodating the development of the program for the forseeable future. To this end the
proposals modify the sub-disciplinary groupings of courses in addition to proposing courses
for addition and deletion.
Third, it is anticipated that the collective action in the Faculty of Arts to change its breadth
requirements will have an impact on the lower level courses. Proposals for the first and second
years respond in part to this new context.
Fourth, the department also belongs to the Faculty of Science, offering the B.Sc., and any changes
. ?
must therefore reflect the contexts of two Faculties and their requirements while at the same
time the geography program must be maintained and developed coherently.
B.
The most Important general changes are:
I. The fleshing out of the second year offerings. The Incorporation of second year courses much
more
systematically
into the 'streams' of courses provides for the more effective operation of
the pre-requisite structure.
2.
The proposal for changes in the first year human geography requirements is that the courses
beofa more general character, leaving the beginnings of sub-disciplines to the second year.
3.
At the upper levels, the human geography courses have been placed into a comprehensive
grouping, rather than the more specialized groups that are used at present. This allows for
more freedom of course selection.
4.
A 'technical' stream has been introduced, and new courses are proposed in this. The
department is uniquely situated to develop this stream, having unusually good technical facilities
for it and faculty who specialize in this rapidly developing branch of the discipline. In
particular, this stream emphasizes computer-assisted cartography, aerial photography and
digital image processing.
5.
It is proposed that all upper levels courses, with three minor exceptions, carry four credit
hours. The present system of three and five credits has been criticized by faculty and students
alike. The use of four credits across the board is generally agreed to allow for the same amount
of instruction time in a sequence of 300 and 400 level courses while eliminating differential
expectations regarding work loads.
6.
The size and scope of the overall program, as proposed, remains almost identical with the
present program.

Tentative Course Outline
The course will focus on the occurrence, origin, and impact of natural
hazards, including volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, floods,
droughts, tropical storms, pests and diseases. Efforts to predict, avoid,
and reduce the impacts of natural disasters in different cultural settings
will be considered. Examples will be drawn fran diverse sources, with B.
C. and Canadian events emphasized as appropriate!
Some Lecture Topics:
1.
Working definitions of "natural hazards" and a review of their global
significance.
2.
Plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
3.
Hazards in mountain environments - landslides (and snow avalanches).
4.
Floods, tropical storms and drought.
5.
Biological hazards - pests and diseases.
Each topic will include a discussion of:
(a)
the physical processes underlying their occurrence;
(b)
techniques for predicting their occurrence and assessing the type
and degree of risk;
(C)
technological and social adjustments, particularly those unique
in response to the hazard type.
Organization:
There will be one two-hour lecture and one one-hour
l
tutorial a week
plus a one-day field trip (cost $5.00), ideally
and/or ?
- please try to keep these dates open, 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m.
Grades Grades will be based on a mid-term exam (20%), a short paper
covering a tutorial presentation topic (20%), and final exam
(60%) that will include one compulsory question on the field
trip..

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION
General Information
The course deals with aerial photography and air photo interpretation as a
primary cartographic technique in geography and resource inventories. The
course is divided into three sections: 1) technical background regarding
aerial photography, air photo interpretation and cartography; 2) application of
air photo interpretation and resource mapping to environmental analysis, and;
3) introduction to remote sensing.
Nine elementary laboratory exercises provide a basis for practical
?
experience and further study in aerial photography and related cartographic
applications.
The final grade for the course will be determined from the laboratory
assignments, a mid-term test and a final examination as follows:

The course gives an overview of Geographic Information Systems. The lectures
present the conceptual basis of the topic. For geographers without much
computer finowledge, the emphasis in the labs will be on the usage of mapping
programs, for students with
computing knowledge it will be on programming projects.

Field Methods in Human Geography
This course offers a practical introduction to the research methods
employed by human geographers in collecting and classifying data from
primary and secondary sources. Particular emphasis is placed on rural and
urban land classification procedures, questionnaire and interview methods,
archival research and the use of censuses. Secondary (library) sources of
data have expanded significantly and they provide "ready made'
information on an increasingly wide range of topics of interest to human
geographers. At the same time collecting primary information from the
field, that is by direct observation, is deeply engrained in the history of
geography. There continues to be a significant range of research problems
that can only he effectively addressed through field work. Field work allows
researchers to generate their own 'prim ary' data which pertain specifically
to their research goals. Thus a principal reason for field work which is time
consuming and often expensive, is because published 'secondary' data
sources are not pertinent. Field work also provides direct evidence of
'context' of the particular subject under study,

Develoiment
This course introduces students to a geographical analysis of concepts
and issues common to patterns of Latin American 'development and planning.
The course is divided into two basic sections. The first section will
focus on the geographical and historical development of selected countries
which are thought to be representative of broader developmental patterns
for Latin America as a whole. In the second section common Latin American
developmental models will be analyzed using case studies from the
countries studied in the first section to explain how such models have
affected development in concrete geographical terms. Through emphasis on
traditional geographical subject matter, the course will address
developmental issues and problems from a perspective which stresses the
interconnectedness of spatial and socioeconomic structures. This affords
students an opportunity to study developmental concepts from a
geographical perspective, while enhancing their grasp of contemporary
questions and problems specific to the Latin American region.
