The Geography of Human LifeMakiguchi's first position was at the elementary school attached to the Hokkaido Normal School.
His interest was always in guiding learners toward a sure grasp of the principles underlying the relations between geographic features and human activities.
The 1903 publication of The Geography of Human Life may be seen as its first full expression.
Jinsei chirigaku (The Geography of Human Life) published in October 1903For Makiguchi, the local community was both the site of the activities of daily life and a point of observation from which to take in the entire world.
If we first clearly understand the geography of the local community, the phenomena of a single town or village, we may easily understand the geography of all nations.
