Stage 1 Geography Unit
People and Places |
S1 - Geographical Concepts:
- Place - the significance of places and what they are like (e.g location and features of local places and other places in the world)
- Space - the significance of location and spatial distribution, and ways people organise and manage the spaces that we live in (e.g where activities are located and how spaces can be organised.)
- Environment - the significance of the environment in human life, and the important interrelationships between humans and the environment (eg natural and human features of a place; daily and seasonal weather patterns of places.)
- Interconnection: - no object of geographical study can be viewed in isolation (e.g local and global links people have with places and the special connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples maintain with Country/Place.)
- Scale: - the way that geographical phenomena and problems can be examined at different spatial levels (eg various scales by which places can be defined such as local suburbs, towns and large cities.)
