TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - The Relevance of Human Geography for Studying Urban Disasters JO - Space and culture A1 - Fraser, J. C. SP - 14 EP - 19 VL - 9 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of this article is to make a case for the centrality of geography in studying human dimensions of urban environmental change. The author undertakes this task by highlighting two potential areas of inquiry that need further attention: (a) the creation of sociospatial identities and (b) urban governance as it relates to disasters. For each area of inquiry, the author provides a conceptual statement and a brief illustration.
