    Geography on the Internet
    Like the tangible world of geographical earth space, the digital world of cyber space is a wonderfully complex place. There are loads and loads of information resources out there that you'll find useful and interesting; the trick is finding it. Well, navigating the Internet is more art than science, but here are some useful guidelines:
    • When you have a reasonably specific idea what you are looking forexpressed in terms of one or more key words or phrasesthen a search engine such as Google is probably your best bet. Type in your term(s), and see what serendipitous goodies Google brings.
    • When your area of interest is broadly or poorly defined, then you might be better served by a hierarchical web guide such as Yahoo! . For example, select the Science category, then the Geography subcategory, then the Cartography sub-subcategory, and you've got a hot-linked listing of dozens of mapping-related sites and additional subcategories.

In South Asia, famine has been eliminated, life expectancy has increased from 50 years to 62 years, and more than half the adult population is literate. However, there are still a number of key challenges: Poverty:
    • 789 million people live on less than US $1 a day
    • 2 billion people live on less than US $2 a day
    Inadequate social development:
    • poor access to health and education services

    17 July 2003, 2:59 pm
    Press Release: Victoria University of Wellington
    The change from 'tropical geography' to 'development geography' is the focus of the first Asia Pacific Viewpoint Journal annual public lecture at Victoria University. In his lecture, The Degeneration of Tropical Geography - the role of Keith Buchanan and others, Associate Professor James Sidaway, from the National University of Singapore will examine how the 'colonial' and 'tropical' geography of the post-Second World War period came to be 'development geography' in the 1970s. The free public lecture, organised in conjunction with the School of Earth Sciences at Victoria University, will be held in lecture theatre 119 in the Hunter Building on Monday July 21 at 7pm. Associate Professor Sidaway will explore the evolution of development geography, relating them to the geopolitical, economic and social traumas associated with decolonisation. In particular, he will also examine this change through the work of a series of British geographers, among them Keith Buchanan, a pioneering radical geographer trained at the School of Geography at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, who later worked in South Africa, Nigeria, Singapore and New Zealand. Professor Buchanan was the first Professor of Geography at Victoria and founded the Asia Pacific Viewpoint Journal.

    General information about Singapore In this section, you'll find general information about Singapore - our short but colourful history, our society, our national symbols, and of course our people. We give practical information such as the climate you can expect, the "strange" languages we speak and the people you will meet. What's in this section: Brief History
    Singapore was only founded in 1819, and came into existence as an independent state only in 1965. Yet, written in our short history are colourful and dramatic events that have shaped the country.
    Find out what Singapore's national anthem, which is sung in Malay, means, and you can also hear it on this page. Also, the significance and meaning of our national flag.

    Singapore Geography and Climate Area Links to Maps Scout Page on Singapore with map. Singapore Map with some links. CityNet's Singapore Map Climate Depending on whom you ask, Singapore either has four seasons or no seasons. The four seasons are: hot, hotter, wet and wetter. And no seasons because Singapore has a warm tropical climate with sunshine all year roundmaking it a good place to develop a perpetual tan. With the sea to further moderate fluctuations in temperature, Singapore's weather is almost boringly consistentbetween 32°C (90°F) for a high and 24°C (75°F) for a low. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Singapore was 20.5°C (69°F). Humidity is high. It hits you like a wall the second you step out of the airport. The daily average relative humidity is 84.4 per cent. That means it gets past 90 per cent just before dawn and perhaps 60 to 70 per cent in dry afternoons. Folklore has it that a certain European car make was rusting fast, but the manufacturers could not believe that such a place as humid as Singapore existed. So they flew down some engineers who verified that indeed on planet Earth, a humid little place that tests their cars existed. Folklore goes that they returned to tighten their manufacturing standards against bodyrust. Allow anything from one week to a month to adjust to the humidity.
