An introduction to the developmental and regional planning issues facing contemporary western and non-western cities. A theoretical framework sets up detailed case studies of developmental issues affecting urban populations in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Issues include such traditional topics as migration, population, poverty, and indigenous and colonial legacies, but environmental and infrastructure problems such as water supply, food security, energy, solid waste, disaster planning, and transportation are also analyzed and discussed. (Also offered as GEOG 103; may not be taken as duplicate credit)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to principles of thematic map construction. The emphasis is on the techniques of choropleth mapping and the production of scientific graphs and charts. (Also offered as GEOG 213; may not be taken for duplicate credit).
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces basic concepts of urban morphology and landscapes including site, situation, function, urban land use, urban structure, and urban hierarchy. Explores relationships between urban structure and urban planning. (Also offered as RGPL 232; may not be taken for duplicate credit.)
-
3.00 Credits
Automated methods for creating, maintaining, and analyzing spatial data are presented. Topics include 1) specialized GIS hardware and software, 2) vector vs. raster vs. object- oriented spatial data structures, 3) creation and manipulation of geographic data files, 4) data base design and management concepts, 5) spatial analysis, and 6) cartographic design. (Also offered as GEOG 316; may not be taken for duplicate credit)
Prerequisite:
RGPL 213, or equivalent, or instructor permission
-
3.00 Credits
Deals with the spatial aspects of transportation systems and their use. Circulation, accessibility, time and distance concepts, and trade patterns are discussed. (Also offered as as GEOG 333; may not be taken for duplicate credit)
-
3.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on landform types and their spatial distribution.

The relationship between human activities and landforms is also considered. (Also offered as GEOG 342; may not be taken for duplicate credit.)
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on surface and groundwater as a resource with unique properties. Fresh water is defined physically by storage in the hydrologic cycle and the values assigned by different cultures. Problems featured relate to consumptive and withdrawal water uses, the problems of water supply and scarcity, water law and its inconsistencies, flooding and floodplain management, sources of contamination and pollution, wetlands, and case studies of selectedriver basins. (Also offered as GEOG 343; may not be taken for duplicate credit.)
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the distribution of plants and animals across the earth's surface, as influenced bynatural and human processes.
