Study Notes
ভূগোল - ইতিহাস
-
ভূগোলের উৎপত্তি:
- প্রাচীন সভ্যতা থেকে শুরু হয়ে, ভূগোলের শিকড় মূলত প্রাচীন গ্রীক ও রোমান লেখকদের কাজের মধ্যে নিহিত।
- এর ভিত্তিতে তথ্য সংগ্রহ এবং মানচিত্র নির্মাণের প্রচলন শুরু হয়।
-
প্রাচীন যুগের ভূগোল:
- গ্রীক ভূগোলবিদ যেমন হারোডোটাস এবং স্কাইলাকোস, প্রাথমিক ভূগোলের ধারণা প্রদান করেন।
- ক্লিওস্টেনিস এবং পটেমিয়ুসের মানচিত্র এবং সৃষ্টিগত নকশা গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ছিল।
-
মধ্যযুগ:
- ইসলামিক ভূগোলবিদদের অবদান, বিশেষ করে আল-ইদ্রিসির মানচিত্র।
- ইউরোপে ভূগোলের জ্ঞান কমে গেলেও, মুসলিম বিশ্বের মধ্যে এটি সমৃদ্ধি লাভ করে।
-
রেনেসাঁ ও আধুনিক যুগ:
- ১৫শ শতকে নতুন মানচিত্র এবং জগতের পুনর্বিবেচনা।
- ম্যাগেলান, কলম্বাস প্রমুখের অভিযানের মাধ্যমে নতুন ভূগোলের বিকাশ।
-
১৭শ ও ১৮শ শতক:
- ভূগোলের বৈজ্ঞানিক ভিত্তি প্রতিষ্ঠা।
- থিওরি ও গবেষণার মাধ্যমে ভূগোলকে একটি স্বাধীন বিজ্ঞান হিসেবে প্রতিষ্ঠা।
-
আধুনিক ভূগোল:
- ১৯শ শতকের শেষে এবং ২০শ শতকের গোড়ায় ভূগোলের তথ্যমূলক ও প্রযুক্তিগত উন্নয়ন।
- জিআইএস (GIS) ও অন্যান্য প্রযুক্তির আবির্ভাব ভূগোলের গবেষণাকে নতুন মাত্রা দেয়।
-
বর্তমানের ভূগোল:
- ভূগোলের বিভিন্ন শাখা যেমন শারীরিক ভূগোল, মানব ভূগোল, অর্থনৈতিক ভূগোল।
- জলবায়ু পরিবর্তন, পরিবেশগত সমস্যা এবং স্থানের সাম্প্রতিক গবেষণা।
