A pesquisa consiste em um esforço de exposição, análise e interpretação de algumas questões teórico-metodológicas referentes à natureza da ciência geográfica presentes na obra do geógrafo estadunidense Richard Hartshorne (1899-1992). O recorte de análise escolhido pretende, a partir da definição do propósito da Geografia formulada pelo autor, compreender suas reflexões a respeito da relação entre os enfoques sistemático e regional na disciplina e pensar seu papel na história do pensamento geográfico do século XX, buscando evidenciar a operação de determinados mecanismos constitutivos do campo científico e de certas posturas filosóficas em sua obra. Hartshorne deixou um extenso legado para a Geografia em importantes obras e artigos publicados, sobretudo, entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960. Dentre essas contribuições, as obras The Nature of Geography (1939) e Perspective on The Nature of Geography (1959) estão entre as mais importantes peças da extensa produção intelectual do autor. Essas duas obras, conjuntamente aos textos de alguns comentadores e críticos, constituem o material fundamental da nossa análise. / The research consists in an effort to display, analysis and interpretation of some theoretical and methodological issues concerning the nature of geographical science in the works of American geographer Richard Hartshorne (1899-1992).

This study was undertaken to present the aerial differentiation within Brant Township. To express these differences most clearly the Township has been studied on a regional basis. This includes a breakdown of the study area into small subdivisions and the relationships of the unit areas to each other to discover the structural and functional basis of the larger area. It must be remembered that regional geography is sterile without the concepts and principles from systematic geography. Therefore systematic geography has been employed for an understanding of the aerial differences in each kind of phenomena and the relationships between them. Throughout the study, emphasis has been placed on the basic land utilization pattern of the Township. The land utilization maps are the result of systematic observation on a field to field basis. The functional map of Walkerton in the back cover illustrates the land use contained within the town. This map also constitutes the results of field work. The study is divided into six chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction to the location, size and the physical geography are discussed. Chapter three is a detailed account of the historical development of the Township. The present day agriculture is dealt within Chapter four while non-agricultural land use, which includes on urban study, is discussed in chapter five. Chapter six, containing the summary and conclusion, completes the thesis. / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
