Competing Identities and Contested Places
The religious restoration movement in the early nineteenth century United States that involved the emergence of the Mormon (Latter Day Saint) family of religions has contributed to the complex politics of identity and place that characterize the contemporary American cultural scene. Since its 1830 beginnings, but especially following the 1844 death of the founder, Joseph Smith, Jr., the movement has been fertile ground for schismatic tendencies. …
After‐the‐fact causality’
Cultural geography might benefit from consideration of radical behaviourism and from interpretation and application of the concepts of behaviour analysis. The basic concept is that of operant conditioning, referring to the environment reinforcing behaviours that are most adaptive and effective in achieving reinforcers and avoiding aversive stimuli. The concept of rule‐governed behaviour facilitates incorporation of cognition into behaviour analys…
Behavior Analysis and Cultural Geography
Cultural geography lacks a conceptually rigorous and empirically meaningful understanding of human behavior to facilitate analyses of human landscape creation. A possible solution is employment of the concepts and principles of behavior analysis, as developed in psychology, and as applied in sociology, anthropology, and economics. For cultural geographers, this suggestion is at variance with most other recent conceptual contributions that emphasi…
Behavior Analysis and the Cultural Geographic Study of Place
During the period of evolution of social science disciplines, positivism was seen not as one philosophy of science but rather as the one philosophy; accordingly, questions of meaning and interpretation were of little importance in both physical and social sciences. This situation changed dramatically in the mid-twentieth century following the waning of positivism as a social science philosophy. Today, there are numerous philosophies to which the …
State Boundaries and Agricultural Change in the South Eastern Australian Wheat Belt
An analysis of the Australian wheat belt, 1891–1911, develops and tests a model of wheat belt expansion and evaluates the consequences of two counterfactuals involving revised state boundaries. Results show that percentage county wheat acreage is related to land availability, soil quality, rainfall, markets, and railroads, and demonstrates the role played by state land laws and railroad construction policies. The use of counterfactuals is of valu…

Humans, Land, and Landscape
Four sources for the elaboration of a redefinition of culture and for the outlining of a revised method for cultural geography are examined: superorganicist and related ideas (White), symbolic and interactionist ideas (Geertz), institutional and interactionist views (Wagner), and symbolic interactionism and human ecology (Ericksen). These four are discussed within the broader context of human and land relations and of the evolution of cultural ge…

Rural Settlement Surface Evolution
Rural settlement surfaces in Cape Province for the years 1865, 1891, 1921, 1951 and 1970 are derived from census data. Appropriate theory and empirical studies enable the creation of hypotheses proposing regularities in the surfaces, namely an inverse relationship between settlement density and distance to both Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, and their probable variation through time. Trend surface analysis confirms these density declines and notes…
