GEOGRAPHY
GEOGRAPHY Al 3 points
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising five class hours a week, including lectures, laboratory and seminar work, together with approximately 20 hours of field activities
The subject is designed as an introduction to tertiary studies in physical geography.
This introduction has a breadth appropriate for students who do not intend to take studies in geography beyond first-year level, but at the same time it provides a basis for further studies in more specialized fields of physical geography, which are available to students who proceed to later years. In 1977, Geography Al will be a prerequisite for entry to Geography B4 and B5.
The subject is concerned with the systematic study of physical processes operative at the surface of the earth. From initial consideration of the formation of the earth's crust, it examines components of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere, largely within the context of processes causing variation in land surface form.
The lectures, laboratory classes and seminars are designed to acquaint students with the fundamental principles and methodology of physical geography, while the field studies will be used to integrate aspects of the subject within the context of Victorian examples. Training is provided in a range of field techniques and in methods of data analysis.

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising five class hours a week, including lectures, laboratory and seminar work, together with approximately 20 hours of field activities.
SYLLABUS
The subject is designed as an introduction to tertiary studies in human geography. Its intention in this field is similar to the intention of Geography Al in physical geography i.e. to provide a breadth of studies appropriate for students who may not proceed with geography beyond first-year level, but at the same time to form a basis for further studies in more specialized fields of human geography, which are available to students in later years of the course. In 1977, Geography A2 will be a prerequisite for entry to Geography B2 and Geography B3.
Within the context of a detailed study of a selected local region, the subject provides a substantial introduction to the content and methodology of human geography. From initial consideration of population and settlement attributes within the region, it proceeds to an examination of the distribution of economic activities and movement patterns. Subject content includes population and settlement distribution; the occupational characteristics of population within the region, and their relationship to economic activities; the economic bases of settlements, and their spheres of influence;
land-use types, and their relationships to economic and ecological factors; networks of movement involving the transfer of people, goods and information within the region; and the context of the region within broader hierarchies at a macro-scale.
The lectures, laboratory and seminar classes are designed to acquaint students with the fundamental principles and methodology of human geography, while the field studies will be used to integrate aspects of the subject within the context of a regional study in Victoria. At present, the specific region to be studied has not been defined: a similar study in 1975 was based on south Gippsland.

APPLIED GEOGRAPHY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising five class hours a week, including lectures, laboratory and seminar work. The subject may include up to 20 hours of field activities.
SYLLABUS
The subject is designed to link the physical and human aspects of geography through the study of man's impact on the environment. In the search for food and water, for minerals and energy, and for scenic and recreational amenities, man has modified most of the natural ecosystems of the world. This subject reviews some of the changes that have taken place in Australia and overseas, and examines the ways in which planning and technological progress can control unexpected and often unwelcome side effects.
In addition to attending classes with associated preparation and follow-up reading.
each student will be expected to prepare an individual assignment on a topic to be negotiated with the lecturer in charge.

TRENDS IN GEOGRAPHIC METHODOLOGY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising six class hours a week, including lectures, laboratory and seminar work.
Prerequisite: Credit of 6 points in geography at Group 1 level, or an approved equivalent.
SYLLABUS
The subject reviews recent trends and developments in the methodology of geography, with particular reference to the place of geography within science, the quantitative revolution, and the nature of geographical concepts and perspectives.
The practical implications of the quantitative revolution are considered in a study of the use of quantitative techniques in spatial analysis. Topics include sampling procedures, the measurement of spatial relationships, the interpretation of quantitative data and methods of classification. This aspect of the subject forms the basis of the laboratory program.
The subject does not require students to have a background in mathematics.
