ABSTRACT Walt Whitman Rostow’s stages of economic growth theory continues to appear in curricula and textbooks on development geography despite being originally published in 1960 and being criticised for its Eurocentrism. This ‘Spotlight On … ’ article provides an overview of Rostow’s ideas, their influence and why modernisation ideas are still relevant in understanding how development is defined and implemented.

ABSTRACT This article elaborates on the rewards of using geographical science and technology in the domain of public health. It discusses how mapping environmental and social vulnerabilities to particular diseases can help identify areas where health resources should be focused. Additionally, the article demonstrates how the use of real-time spatial data can help inform the decisions of health policymakers and practitioners. This is illustrated using the example of dengue fever in Chennai, India.

ABSTRACT In this article, we explore perspectives on, and experiences of, geography education, by engaging with those looking at the field from a different vantage point than those working in it – those studying geography. The article begins by examining the importance of student voice in and to geography education, before drawing on a survey of 333 undergraduate geography students from across the British Isles conducted in late 2020. Through engaging with student perspectives, we contribute to discussions about the value of geography to a person’s education. We conclude by arguing for both the importance of educators truly valuing students' perspectives and experiences, and institutional mechanisms that support and empower geography educators in their practices in this regard.

ABSTRACT Approaches to landscape assessment have been widely debated and, despite their usefulness in educational settings, have generally fallen out of favour. Yet, ways to record, monitor and discuss landscape quality are becoming more important as the pace of landscape change increases. The growing prominence of ‘place’ and ‘place-making’ in geography presents an opportunity to reinvigorate landscape assessment in educational contexts. In this article, we present a tool for assessing the visual quality of landscapes, which can be adapted for use in a range of environments. We discuss the results of a pilot study that deployed the approach. We demonstrate how the tool can be used to monitor landscape changes and how the experience of generating data, as well as the results, can be used as a catalyst for discussions about place, land use, development and the contested nature of valued landscapes.

Geography is a discipline that is driven by research. At times, though, the specialised and complex nature of geographical research can distance it from a wider audience. As Yujing He and colleagues argue in this issue, this contributes to a ‘knowledge gap’ between universities and schools. The purpose of Geography is to help cross this apparent divide by presenting research and current thinking in an accessible way. This issue is no exception: it presents a diverse set of articles that cover research on geopolitics, climate change and landscape. But, as well as this, there are articles that reflect on ways in which geographical theories and methods can be used to enrich the student experience. In doing so, research is, quite rightly, viewed as something that should actively contribute to school curricula, rather than being something done ‘out there’ by university academics. Fieldwork and data analysis are crucial in the development of the next generation of geographers and, I hope, are returning to the centre-stage of education as we emerge from COVID-19. So, in keeping with the journal’s aims, this issue not only presents research but, we hope, stimulates it too.

ABSTRACT This article examines the development of tourism in Turkey. It focuses mainly on the relationship between the country’s shifting geopolitical alignment and the recent changes in the countries of origin of its international tourist clientele. The study outlines geopolitical aspects of tourism, highlighting how it can be part of government strategies to reflect shifting geopolitical alliances and relationships. In the case of Turkey, there has been something of a move away from Europe and NATO towards enhanced relations with Russia and China. The article draws on an analysis of official statistics, interviews with key stakeholders in the Turkish tourism sector and direct field observations at tourist sites.

ABSTRACT The gap between academic geography and school geography is of ongoing interest in geography education. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the gap, this article describes how a framework of knowledge transformation was applied and validated in China. A total of 182 individuals involved in geography education took part in this study; these included geographers, pre- and in-service geography teachers, and geography teacher educators. Though geographical knowledge is seen as important at the societal level, this research found substantial discrepancies between academic and school geography at the institutional and classroom levels of knowledge transformation. Insufficient engagement in disciplinary development and a lack of support from the academic community are two major reasons for the gap. Finally, future progress in addressing the gap in order to generate powerful geographical knowledge in the competencies-based curricula is highlighted.
