【沿 革】

本校前身臺灣省立師範學院於民國35年6月5日成立時,即設置史地學系。首任系主任由院長李季谷先生兼任,37年由諶亞達先生承接為第二任,38年由沙學浚先生繼為第三任。51年史地學系擴成歷史與地理兩學系,56年7月1日本校改制為國立臺灣師範大學,地理學系仍隸屬文學院,仍由文學院院長沙學浚先生兼任系主任。59年8月本系成立地理研究所,由劉衍淮先生出任所長。60年8月沙院長為專心推展院務,系主任一職由賀忠儒先生承接,62年8月劉鴻喜先生接任研究所所長,系所合一後歷任系主任為陳國章先生、石再添先生、陳國彥先生、楊萬先生、蔡文彩先生、徐勝一先生、黃朝恩先生、潘朝陽先生、陳國川先生、丘逸民先生、歐陽鍾玲女士,現為蘇淑娟女士。

本系於民國59年8月成立碩士班,77年8月獲准成立博士班,83年成立「區域研究中心」,94年成立「地理資訊研究中心」,95年成立「地理教育研究中心」、「環境監測與規劃研究中心」、「地理影像實驗室」。地理學系之下,設有學士班、碩士班、博士班,結構完備,充分發揮本系的師資與設備應有之功能。

為配合各級政府教育政策的需求,本系也開設各種進修課程,如「地理碩士在職專班(週末班)」、「地理系空間資訊碩士在職專班(週末班)」及其他各類不定期舉辦的短期進修班等,提供中學老師、空間資訊人員進修的機會,在該進修管道中則多專注於上述地理思維的教育和教學轉化。

【課 程】

本系的發展早期以培養中學地理師資為主,因應社會發展之需求,本系除了培養地理學研究專門人才,培育中學地理師資,亦訓練環境監測與防災、國土規劃、GIS設計與應用、觀光遊憩理論與實務專業人才。

本系的課程設計,是兼顧理論與實務,從地理學的空間、人地、區域、地球科學的四大傳統出發,涵蓋自然、人文、區域、地理學方法與應用四個面向來規劃。

1.師資培育

培養各級學校地理學師資,其目的在於明瞭地理學的各種理論與實際,使其具備獨立研究與教學的能力。

2.環境監測與防災學程

厚植學生基礎地理學素養及監測環境能力,培訓其對環境經營管理具有整合性發展的競爭力。最終目標在開拓本校理論與技術整合、教學與應用整合、校園與社會整合、學術與產業整合之進階性任務。

3.區域與觀光規劃學程

因應全球化趨勢與台灣發展變遷,以地理學為基礎,整合區域發展與創新及深度化觀光事業發展,培養學生具備回應理論與實踐知識,目的在訓練學生區域研究與觀光規劃的實務能力。

4.空間資訊學程

以空間資訊的理論與技術為訓練之基礎,結合人文社經、健康促進、環境資源及大地工程的應用,為社會培育空間研究、規劃、管理和決策的人才。

【師資陣容】

本系師資陣容完整(專任教授11人、副教授8人、助理教授3人、專案助理教授1人),均具有博士學位,學有專精,研究成果豐碩。在教學方面,均能將各種先進的研究成果納入教材,涵蓋各種地理觀念及技術,使一般畢業學生擁有完整的地理知識,有能力利用各種地理觀念與技能,從事研究、教學或其他專業工作。

【圖書與設備】

本系圖書計有地理學專用書籍萬餘冊,中外文期刊三百餘種,大比例尺地形圖兩萬餘張、中外地圖集三百餘冊、航空照片圖三千餘張。「區域研究中心」為配合鄉土地理的研究與教學,先後蒐集甚多台灣、中國大陸、亞洲鄰近國家,乃至於全球各地相關之地理研究成果與地理資訊,包括自然環境與資源、地名、地圖以及各種方志、文獻及公私典藏文書等,並應用地理資訊系統 (GIS)技術,將蒐集到的各項資料加以分類整理、建檔、研究,以充實區域地理學術研究,奠定區域研究基礎。 系裡之實驗室及教室頗具規模,如地形實驗室、水文實驗室、氣候實驗室、人文與區域地理實驗室、空間資訊實驗室、電腦教室等,這些實驗室對教學與研究均具有重大意義及指標。

【教學與研究】

地理學以生活環境空間的現象為研究範疇,研究各種現象的空間分佈、關係及區域特性,並聚焦於如此社會環境空間特性和自然與人文環境如何相互為用。藉由人文和自然地理的理論建構、理論驗證和空間技術的精熟使用,解釋和理解現象的空間與環境面向和意涵,進而從規劃與設計的理念,提供空間環境趨吉避凶的思維與規劃,目的在於促進國家與社會的適切發展,並影響社會大眾守護生活環境。本系自民國59年成立碩士班及民國77年成立博士班以來,即秉承前述宗旨,從事精深的地理研究與教學,培養研究生的獨立研究能力。碩士班一年級,著重地理學各種以論和方法的研討,二、三年級則著重專題研究和論文寫作。博士班一、二年級,著重地理學分科高階領域的專業素養,三、四年級著重專題研究和論文寫作。碩博士班透過專題演講與相關課程安排,提供研究生肥沃的學術養份。學生之修課和論文寫作過程,指導教授和研究生緊密聯繫,形成活躍的學風。為積極促加強研究生的研究能力,本系安排每週三下午地理學專題演講,促進學術討論氛圍與研究風氣。

本系研究風氣鼎盛,為了鼓勵研究活動,提高地理學術水準,每年均彙編出版各種期刊及叢書,目前已出版「地理學研究」、「地理研究」、「地理研究叢書」、「系友會刊」、「地友」、「地理教育」、「地理教育叢書」、「地理研究專刊」。此外,本系教師更廣泛獲得國科會、教育部、臺電公司、水資會、臺灣省民政廳、文獻委員會等單位的補助或委託,從事多項專門性的學術專題研究,成果豐碩。

本系學術活動頻繁,自1997年起每年舉辦「臺灣地理學術研討會」。另外,教師除參加國內外學術會議外,為更進一步促進師生的研究風氣,並加強大家的研究能力,本系自七十七學年度時,將碩士班的地理論著評讀、博士班的地理學專題討論及老師的學術研討會集中於每週三下午舉行。有關師生將輪流評讀論文或報告研究心得,並作公開討論和意見交流。內容方面,碩一同學以評讀外文地理論著為主,題目自選或由指導教授決定;碩二同學以匯報個人碩士論文進度為主;博士班同學及本系老師,則自行決定內容。

【獲獎與認證】

本系經財團法人高等教育評鑑中心基金會「95年度大學校院系所評鑑認可審議委員會」通過認可,「101年度大學校院通識教育暨第二週期系所評鑑認可審議委員會」通過認可(含學士班、碩士班、博士班、暑期教師在職進修碩士學位班)。

【師生交流】

本系設有學生評鑑制度,隨時反映教師的教學情況。為讓學生意見能充分表達,在系所會議設置學生代表二名,可參與議案的討論與表決。此外,本系每學期舉辦師生座談會,建立師生交流的機制。對於凝聚師生對本校、本系的內聚力,效果良好。

【未來展望】

核心課程訓練廣博,讓學習者容易銜接各種專業或轉換跑道;因應就業市場的專業學程,讓你具備紮實的技能與專長。歡迎所有熱愛生命、關懷人類、勇於探索、樂於體驗的青年朋友,加入我們的行列。在大地上播下地理的種子,讓我們共同營造永續而美麗的家園!

    臺灣東部河口地區之地形學研究
    (地理學系, 1995-10-??) 石再添; 張瑞津; 林雪美; 張政亮; 劉明錡; 陳政典
    The vincinity of the estuaries is one of the most populated area in the world. In order to ultilize the resources of this area more reasonably, the understanding of its geomorphological, hydrological and sedimentary characteristics becomes a main and basic task. Since estuary is located on the interface of river and sea, the morphology of estuary is influenced by the factors coming from both environments. The drainage basin area, shoreline length, shape factor, channel gradient, runoff, sediments and monthly discharge, etc. are factors coming from land, while the wind, current, wave and tide etc. coming from the sea. This study focuses on eleven estuaries of the eastern coast of Taiwan. Based on the stream slope, number of channels, discharge, etc., these estuaries can be divided into straight and braided pattern. The former has sandbars or spurs, such as Hualien Hsi, Hsiukuluan Hsi and Kangkou Hsi, while the latter have braided channels, sandy-gravel sediments and changeable sandbars, such as Hoping Hsi, Liwu Hsi and the estuaries in Taitung coastal area. The eastern coast is classified as wave-dominated type according to average wave height and tidal range. The wave impacting upon the area between Hoping Hsi and Hsiukuluan Hsi is severer. The forms of the estuaries in eastern Taiwan have significant seasonal change due to the seasonal differences of discharge, monsoon and typhoon. In the summer, the channels usually become wider and the sandbars are gentler and extended seaward for most estuaries. In the winter, however, these sandbars become narrower, steeper and extend toward right bank. The mouth of channels will be narrowed or even closed when typhoon coming. The forms of estuaries are stable in the long-term scale. Eleven estuaries have only slight change during the period from 1904 to 1989, moving back and forth within the distance of 250m. The channel migration of most estuaries, however, is obvious.

    臺灣東部漁撈活動的時間地理學研究
    (地理學系, 1989-03-??) 陳憲明
    Recent time-geographic studies have focused upon an examination of the conceptual framework of Hagerstrand’s original model, while there has been little applied research except for its introduction to the techniques of urban planning. However, there remain some other fields where it can be applied, since time-geography is fundamentally designed as a common language for the expression of interactions not only between individuals and man-made objects but also between individuals and natural environmental elements. The present article aims to apply certain time-geography notions to observed human behavior under certain natural conditions, and thus to obtain a rational interpretation of individual behavior choices from a time-geographic point of view. As a case study, this article describes some fishermen's daily behavior in Hsingkang (新港), a fishing port in eastern Taiwan. Spatial-temporal paths of spear fishermen aiming to catch giant black marlin (Makaira malina) are described in Fig. 2-4. The paths of long-line fishermen aiming to catch dolphinfin (Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus) are described in Fig. 7-8, and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in Fig. 9-11. From a time-geographic view, these paths are interpreted as follows: Individual behavior is limited by a fisherman's physiology and by the physical capability of his tools. These two factors form a “prism”, which may be transformed by day-to-day weather conditions. Within this “prism” a fisherman's behavior, which aims at coupling with fish in space-time, is influenced by certain natural environmental conditions. There is a spatial condition characterized by the distribution of fishing spots, which is determined by submarine topography. The temporal conditions consist of seasonal and daily fluctuations of prey-food.

    臺灣東部漁港的機能與區位
    (地理學系, 1990-03-??) 陳憲明
    Fishing ports and landing bases function as the points of transference of catches to markets and to land distribution systems. They are the functional nodes of the fishing grounds and fishing market areas. This paper aims to assess, according to the spatial function viewpoint, the function and location of seven fishing ports and 48 undeveloped landing places (i.e. lacking wharf infrastructure) on the Eastern Taiwan coast. On the whole, the location of fishing ports is principally determined by the following conditions: (1) the degree of agglomeration of fishing functional facilities; (2) the size of fishing grounds utilized by a port and the richness of its fishery resources; (3) the economic distance between a fishing port and its markets. Fishing ports in Eastern Taiwan are small scale, their fishing fleets are of small tonnage, their fishing grounds are of limited scope, and their distribution and marketing are affected by topographical obstacles to transportation to the large consumer markets of Western Taiwan. In Eastern Taiwan, only the ports of Hsinkang, Hualien and Taitung possess landing, freezing, storing, packing, delivery and marketing functions. Due to the strong spatial convergence of these three fishing ports, they form three fishing marketing areas. The port with the strongest centrality, Hsinkang, possesses a regional wholesale market function. Huaiien and Taitung only possess a local wholesale market function. Green Island is a fishery base for the offshore islands of Eastern Taiwan. The Kuroshio current passes by this island and it has rich fishery resources. However, this offshore island is isolated from Taiwan proper, and yet must rely on the Taiwan market. These factors limit the development of its fishing industry. Apart from a small minority of fishing ports, the majority of fishing villages of Eastern Taiwan are lacking in fundamental infrastructure. They are without wharves and their fishermen just use plastic fi
