5 Themes of Geography Location, Human/Environmental Interaction, Region, Place, Movement A study of Geography begins with knowing where things are located on a map. But more important, it requires an understanding of why things are located in particular places, and how those places influence our lives. The "five themes of geography" were created in 1984 by the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) and the Association of American Geographers (AAG) to facilitate geographic education and provide an effective organizational structure for the teaching of geography. By using these themes as a basis for understanding geographic information, we can gain a better appreciation of cultural and environmental changes around the world.
