The Relevance of Human Geography for Studying Urban Disasters

James C. Fraser

University of North Carolina

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.

Key Words: New Orleans • Hurricane Katrina • disasters • flooding • urban geography
