Lines of Research and Research Projects

Building knowledge through scientific investigation

The Graduate Program in Geography (GPG) at UFRJ currently works with two areas of concentration: Organization and Management of the Territory and Environmental Planning and Management. The founding conception of GPG has been to avoid the Physical-Human Geography divide and seek the integration between teaching and research.

Organization and Management of the Territory
