The three locations that I will use in my paper are my bedroom, the Buddhist temple at no. 5 and Williams road in South Arm, and Wesbrook Village on UBC’s campus. These sites all represent different aspects of human geography, and therefore, enable me to give a far more varied analysis of the locations.
The geographical concepts that will be applied to these three sites are gentrification, cultural landscape, and sense of place. Gentrification will aid in showing how UBC’s campus is rapidly changing and always redefining its own landscape. Cultural regions will help with describing how the ALR land that the Buddhist temple sits on it treated in a similar fashion to how megachurches are used in the United States. Finally, sense of place will …show more content…

Specifically, there are flags that I collect while traveling to different countries, and the flag conjures certain memories that I possess from these other locations around the globe, hence the use of sense of place. Next, the attention will shift to the Ling Yen Mountain Temple, which sits on ALR land. This temple has been wanting to expand for some time to encompass a larger swath of this reserve, hence changing the cultural landscape. Last to be analyzed will be Wesbrook Village, on UBC’s Vancouver campus. While most universities will undergo renovation over time, UBC has been rapidly expanding its size over the recent decades and has, therefore, uprooted many historical buildings on campus, replacing them with newer buildings. This phenomenon is far more prevalent on the Southern half of campus, where there has been far more growth in recent years, and as a result, has been
