RELATIONS BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY

The special issue of Environment and Behavior, ''Relations Between Env ironmental Psychology and Allied Fields,'' edited by Seymour Wanner (1 995) contained seven articles exploring the links between environmenta l psychology and other subfields of psychology. The articles examined how environmental psychology with its emphasis on context ''may serve to integrate psychology as a whole, and to bridge the gap between the interests of professionally orientated and academic psychologists'' (W apner 1995, p. 5). This article expands on this theme by exploring and summarizing the links between psychology and the allied field of huma n geography. It is suggested that an integrative framework needs to be adopted to capture the ways that these two disciplines, (and others s uch as planning and anthropology), have become complementary, and by d oing so have provided a broader theoretical conceptualization of envir onment and behavior interactions.
