Places Geographers describe location four ways. Name Situation Mathematical Location (absolute)

Uniqueness of Places and Regions Place: Unique location of a feature Place names Toponym- name given to a place on Earth (e. g. El Cajon, Mesa College). Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Kawai-mura, Iwate-ken, Nihon - 川井村, 岩手県, 日本 (Village where the rivers meet, Stone Hand State, Land of the Rising Sun) Site- Describes physical character of a place Site characteristics include climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, latitude, and elevation.

Site: Lower Manhattan Island Fig. 1 -6: Site of lower Manhattan Island, New York City. There have been many changes to the area over the last 200 years.

Site: Changing Site of Boston Fig. 1 -29: the Site of Boston has been altered by fulling in much of Boston Harbor

Uniqueness of Places and Regions Place: Unique location of a feature contd. Situation – Is the location of a place relative to other places. Point Loma, because of its location at the southern tip of a peninsula, is accessible to ships coming and going out of San Diego Bay (e. g. military submarines)

Situation: Gibraltar Fig. 1 -30: This satellite image shows why the narrow Strait of Gibraltar has been of great strategic importance for many centuries.

A seized Iranian tanker took a several-thousand-mile detour around Africa in a possible attempt to sneak a shipment of crude oil to Syria.

Mathematical Location (absolute) Mathematical location- geographic grid including latitude and longitude Meridians are lines of equal longitude Each pair cuts the globe into two equal halves Meridians of interest: Prime Meridian (0 degrees) and International Dateline (180 degrees) Parallels are lines of equal latitude Parallels of interest: Poles (90), Arctic and Antarctic Circle (66. 5 North and South), Tropics (23. 5 N and S), Equator (0) Tates Creek High School - 37° 59'4. 56" N -84° 28'45. 12" W

Latitude = Parallels Longitude = Meridians Mathematical location- geographic grid including latitude and longitude Meridians are lines of equal longitude Each pair cuts the globe into two equal halves Meridians of interest: Prime Meridian (0 degrees) and International Dateline (180 degrees) Parallels are lines of equal latitude Parallels of interest: Poles (90), Arctic and Antarctic Circle (66. 5 North and South), Tropics (23. 5 N and S), Equator (0) Tates Creek High School - 37° 59'4. 56" N -84° 28'45. 12" W

International Dateline Friday Thursday If you cross the date line moving east, you subtract a day, whereas if you are moving west you add a day. For example, if today is Friday and we crossed the International Date line from west to east then it would be Thursday. WHY HERE?

Regions

Uniqueness of Places and Regions: Areas of unique characteristics Cultural landscape- a combination of cultural features such as language, religion, agriculture, industry, climate that gives a region its unified character. Carl Sauer (1889 -1975) defined and wrote extensively about cultural landscape. “Sense of Place” includes the thoughts, feelings and mental maps a person develops about a certain place. Cultural landscapes are often studied under the “regional approach” (e. g. World Regional Geography) Geographers sort out associates among various social and physical characteristics, each of which is uniquely distributed across the Earth’s surface.

Uniqueness of Places and Regions: Areas of unique characteristics contd. Types of regions Formal Region- area within which everyone shares in common one or more distinctive characteristics. Some formal regions are easy to identify such as countries or local government units (e. g. California) Other regions feature predominant characteristics such as climate (Sun Belt) or voting preferences (Red and Blue correspond with dominant regional preferences) Problems in identification of formal regions arise due to diversity within regions (may be held by a minority)

Formal Regions

Uniqueness of Places and Regions: Areas of unique characteristics contd. Types of regions contd. Functional Region (aka nodal region) is an area organized around a node or focal point. Region tied to a central point by transportation or communication or by economic associations Functional regions frequently overlap the formal regions delineated by state or national boundaries. Vernacular Region (aka perceptual region) is a place that people believe exists as part of their cultural identity. Emerge from people’s informal “sense of place” rather than from scientific models Mental maps help identify vernacular regions For Example, American South is a distinctive place that transcends geographic measurement

Functional (Nodal) Regions TV markets as nodal regions. How far north do you have to live to get Cincinnati TV stations? Radio station frequencies are also a good example of nodal regions.

Regions “Dixie” or “the South” is perceptual but it is also measurable!

Mental Map Activity 5 -10 minutes On a half sheet of paper quickly outline a perfect “date night. ” Include three stops: -Dinner -Entertainment -A place to be social. List specific locations and where they are found in Lexington. Explain why you choose these locations.

Uniqueness of Places and Regions: Areas of unique characteristics contd. Spatial Association – phenomena is analyzed at various scales to determine whethere are regional differences or similarities (e. g. rates of cancer in US) Regional integration of culture Culture includes beliefs, material traits, and social forms that together constitute the distinct tradition of a group of people Geographers study why the customary ideas, beliefs, and values of a people produce a distinctive culture in a particular place Geographers are also interested in the production and distribution of material wealth – food, clothing, shelter Geographers divide world regions into MDCs (more developed countries) and LDCs (less developed countries) MDC = Core, Rich, Developed or first world (Lexington) LDC = Periphery, Semi-Periphery, Poor, Developing or Underdeveloped, third world (Powell County near Red River Gorge)

Spatial Association: Opioids, 2016 Fig. 1 -38: (a) Overdose deaths involving opioids, (b) opioid prescriptions per capita In the twenty-first century, drug overdose has become the leading cause of death of Americans under age 50. Kentucky Pill-Mills
