- Opis:
- Human environment relations have always been present in research undertaken in the Department of Latin America, although they rarely played a dominant role in particular study projects. On everyday basis that presence was reflected in carefull application of correct regional geographical terrninology both in our writing and teaching. Environmental conditions were usually a necessary part of the characteristics of the study area, the basic background for understanding the different phenomena, one of the many factors shaping social and economic processes examined. Such a way of perceiving natural environment and human - environment relations has been also typical for many master's thesis prepared under the supervision of the Department's staff members, as well as for doctoral and habilitation dissertations of the Department's academics. In the latter human - environment relations on one hand were part of the characteristics of the surveyed regions and they were treated rather indirectly, for instance through the selection of case studies coming from areas of differing environmental conditions. However there are also two examples of studies concentrated on human- environment relations as the most important research problem. The first one concerned agriculture among ribereños peasants in the Peruvian Amazon and the second one: Alvarado y el Mundo del agua (Alvarado and the acuatic world) described social and economic behaviour of fishing communities in the Papaloapan River Delta and on the shores of Laguna de Alvarado, Mexico. Anothcr text on „Nature and her visions” is an attempt of recovery - on the basis of documents and other written sources, of the way in which explorers, conquerors, colonists, researchers and present-day people: - residents, visitors and tourists see Latin American nature. Human - environment related research conducted at the Department of Latin America was based on E.A. Ackerman 's understanding of geography expressed at the meeting of the Association of American Geographers in 1963: the leading research problem for geographers is the desire to understand the human – environment relations on the global scale.
