		There are at least four traditional views on geography among geographers where emphasis is on the spatial analysis of natural and human phenomena (geography as a study of distribution), on area studies (places and regions), on man-land relationships, and earth science (study of the earth, its waters, and the atmosphere.)

	Department: Arts and Culture, South Africa
		There are some places that were renamed to celebrate the military victories of White settlers over African armies, some to memorialize European kings and Queens, some to celebrate colonial governors and soldiers.
		In the renaming of geographical features and places all these matters were taken into account : the diversity of our society, the integrity of our languages, the sensibilities of our people, and, sometimes just plain common sense.
		It is of paramount importance that those, especially the leaders of the political parties who object to the changes in place names educate their members, especially those serving in legislative bodies at national, provincial and municipal levels, about the law and its provisions.

	Cape Times: Renaming flouts laws, warns expert
		DURBAN'S current street renaming process falls foul of laws and national guidelines governing geographical place names, and if tested in a court of law, the names adopted through this process could be declared null and void.
		Jenkins said the bungling of Durban's street renaming process was nationally significant in that it also highlighted serious shortcomings in the oversight role supposed to be played by the SA Geographical Names Council.
		A representative of the SA Geographical Names Council confirmed that council had not met in the past year, but said new council members and provincial committees were expected to be appointed soon by Arts and Culture Minister Jordan.

	ERS/USDA Briefing Room - WTO: Beyond the Agreement on Agriculture
		A GI is a type of intellectual property associated with goods that originate in a specific place and possess qualities, a reputation, or other characteristics that are due to that place of origin.
		As in the bilateral agreements, not all of the protected descriptive terms refer to geographical origin; some are common generic terms such as "vintage." It is doubtful whether these regulations can be applied internationally, because generic terms such as "vintage" have no legal basis for protection under the WTO TRIPS Agreement.
		According to WTO documents DS174 and DS290, the United States complained that the EU regulation did not allow the registration of non-EU geographical indications unless the geographical indication was from a country that offered GI protection that was equivalent to that of the EU.

	THE IRANIAN: Toponymics, Guive Mirfendereski
		The Iranian policy of renaming places has been timeless and pervasive, wrote Amin, and the name-changes that ensued, by ruler after ruler, has littered the Iranian landscape with colossal absurdities and resulted in many toponyms which are devoid of geographical rationale, ethno- or anthropo-geographical markers, or historical content.

		She renamed the squares after Berliner Plätze, the train stations after Berliner Bahnhöfe, the lakes after Berliner Seen, and even museums and playgrounds after those in Berlin.
		For example, she renames Maiden Lane to Klosterstrasse (convent street), either setting up a very wicked opposite association (but I don't believe it) or completely misunderstanding that "Maiden Lane" has been commonly used to name traditional red light districts.
