Ringkasan program

This program concentrates on patterns and processes of human behavior, political institutions, and, social relationships, with a special emphasis on the ways these forces shape the geographic organization of society. Courses combine an interest in both locational knowledge (where people and their activities are located) and theoretical understanding (why they are located where they are). Issues include the location and migration of people, the structure of cities, urban mass transportation, the growth of suburbs, changing workforce locations and demographics, the distribution of health care services (and other public services), and the importance of political boundaries, just to name a few. Emphasis is on cities and regions in North America and the developing world. In addition to a basic understanding of broad relationships, considerable emphasis is placed on contemporary urban, social, and political problems often using the Seattle region as a laboratory.
