 No presente artigo serão analisados os textos metódicos e metodológicos fundamentais de Alfred Hettner (1859-1941) publicados no espaço de tempo de 1901 a 1908. Com estes textos Hettner almejava dois objetivos: em primeiro lugar, ele queria dar à Geografia enquanto disciplina então recém-institucionalizada nas universidades alemãs uma posição segura na sistemática das ciências; em segundo lugar, ele pretendia clarificar quais conteúdos, como e por que os mesmos deveriam pertencer a esta nova disciplina. No resultado das análises será mostrado que Hettner conseguiu derivar logicamente – através da mudança da base ontológica – tanto a autonomia como também a unidade da Geografia. O elemento que conecta todos os textos é a perspectiva corológica por ele desenvolvida. Esta encontra-se na base da aquisição e análise de quadros de distribuição, variações e diferenciações espacialmente referenciados e, conforme as ideias de Hettner, deve ser aplicada igualmente na Geografia Física e na Geografia Humana. Na medida em que percebe o “mundo” a partir das lentes desta perspectiva, o geógrafo, segundo a concepção de Hettner, é capaz de constituir uma coleção de fatos científicos autônoma e diferenciável de outras ciências; mas, sobretudo, na medida em que ele aplica os fundamentos da investigação corológica, pode delimitar espaços em diferentes níveis escalares de modo metodologicamente claro e seguro. Palavras-chave: Geografia Regional.

With these essays Hettner pursued two goals: firstly, he wanted to give geography a new position in the system of sciences as a subject just now institutionalized at German universities; Second, he wanted to clarify what content should and why should belong to this new discipline. As a result of the analyzes, the paper shows that by shifting the ontological basis Hettner was able to derive logically both the autonomy and the unity of geography and to substantiate it systematically. The connecting element of all essays is the chorological perspective he has developed. It is designed to capture and analyze spatial distribution patterns, variances, and disparities, and according to Hettner’s ideas it should be applied equally in physical geography and human geography. By perceiving “the world” through the lenses of this perspective, the geographer, according to Hettner, is able to constitute an independent sample of scientific facts that can be distinguished from other sciences; Above all, however, by applying the principles of chorological observation, he can delimit spaces at different scale levels in a methodologically reliable and clean manner. Keywords: Regional Geography.

Definition Of

Within the development of new regional geography, the role of human geographic research in the study of regions is emphasized. Regional uniqueness, a consciousness of belonging to a particular region and regional identity also play an important role in the definition of regions. However, physical geography disciplines, e.g. geomorphology, can also contribute to the knowledge of these aspects with regard to the definition of regions. Currently, within the framework of geomorphology, attention is paid to the diversity of anthropogenic landforms. The knowledge and evaluation of these anthropogenic landforms, which are an important part of the historical elements of the landscape and are also referred to as cultural artefacts of the landscape, enables to supplement the cultural-historical values of the region and to specify the cultural identity of the region. On the example of sites – Staré Hradisko and Hostýn – we will present the specifics of secondary geodiversity with respect to the cultural identity of the sites.

The Impact

Harm de Blij was one of the most influential scholars in the field of geography. Few modern geographers have accomplished more to advance a public appreciation for the field. He was known primarily for his work in geopolitics, regional geography, and environmental geography, and he published well over 100 articles and books on these subjects. He was also known for his love of fine wine. In 1983, de Blij published Wine: A Geographic Appreciation, a groundbreaking book and bestseller, which, in part, set the stage for the study of the geography of wine and viticulture. This paper examines de Blij’s 1983 tome, including a brief examination of the political, economic, and cultural elements of wine geography followed by a focused discussion of the book’s influence on the physical geography of viticulture. Ultimately, this paper considers the impact and legacy of Wine: A Geographic Appreciation, a classic in physical geography, as the subfield of wine geography continues to develop.

Over Time

The British geographer Sir Halford John Mackinder (1861–1947) is considered a key figure in the formulation of Classical Geopolitics, a disciple developed out of Geography and emphasizing the relation of geographical data and power distribution in international relations. Mackinder’s work includes original contributions to the fields of Geography, especially Physical Geography and Regional Geography, with special illuminations on Orography. Mackinder himself participated in field explorations in Eastern Africa. Mackinder’s terminology and thematic loci, such as the ‘pivot area’/ ‘Heartland’ and ‘World-Island’ formed the basis for Classical Geopolitics as a distinct methodological view and influenced many writers; through their elaboration Mackinder’s views contributed to the geostrategic outlook of Western powers after WWII. The article presents a complete Bibliography of Mackinder’s work with full documentation and shows the development and evolution of Mackinder’s scholarly thoughts and interests over time. Mackinder was a prolific writer; in total, he wrote 17 books and monographs, six syllabi for university purposes, 73 articles including his reports on the development of Geography at Oxford University and his field reports, as well as two Prologues in other writers’ books, nine newspaper opinion articles, eight speeches and addresses during special events of academia and 27 discussions and reviews of other writers’ work. He also contributed to five orographical maps.
