In class today we were introduced the 5 themes of geography. They are in the order of location, place, region, movement, and human & environmental interaction. We learned the defintion of each one and we needed to show using a example of each.
Now I need to use the five themes and give examples from Port Coquitlam:
Location
Absolute: Riverside Secondary School is 2215 Reeve Street, Port Coquitlam, BC V3C 6K8
Relative: Riverside Secondary is west from Lion Park and the Creek
Place
Physical Landscape: Colony Farms is in Poco
Cultural Landscape: Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex
Regions
Formal: Fraser River
Functional: The Sun is the distribution area of a newspaper in Poco
Perceptual: Have no movie theatres and are a small town.
Movement
Globalization: Television and music could be used, seen, and heard all over the world such as Poco.
Human & Environmental Interaction
Human interaction with the
environment: New single homes development on Citadel Drive and a bigger entrance to the highway construction on the Mary Hill Bypass. Since this is occurring there will be more people and it is changing the environment by more noise and people.
Well done. Fraser River isn't quite a formal region. Anywhere you have borders would be considered a formal region. Fraser River would be part of the physical landscape. Good organization.
