A case for historical and landscape approaches to geography

Abstract

Historical and Landscape approaches to the study of geography are issues that have loomed large in methodological discussions in geography. This paper
evaluates and discusses the arguments about historical and landscape geography. It examines the methodological problems in historical and landscape geography,
and attempted to distinguish between historical and landscape geography on one hand and their relationship with the regional approach. The paper concludes by
making a case for Historical and Landscape approaches to geographical synthesis, in order to place the geographical endeavour at the heart of environmental studies.
