THE SHAPE OF THE WORLD: EXPLORATIONS IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY (D215)
人民地理：新世紀世界觀
For many people today, in this age of globalisation, the world feels like a smaller place. Yet, although our social world may be shrinking, this process is not yet affecting everyone nor everywhere. This series traces the effects that global shifts in the economic, political and cultural order have had on our way of life, our local environment and our sense of place in a changing world.
全球化拉近世界上不同社會的距離，本系列探討這轉變在經濟、政治及文化方面所帶來的衝擊。
1. IMAGINING NEW WORLDS (D215/01V)
新世界的觀感
The way we imagine the world to be and how we see our place within it lies at the heart of geography. This programme traces a journey of discovery taken in south-eastern Mexico by Professor Doreen Massey of The Open University, and explores the different ways in which people have imagined this place and represented it, how they have thought about and related to its natural environment, and how they have set this region within a wider geographical context.

2. REFLECTIONS ON A GLOBAL SCREEN (D215/02V)
文化全球化：媒體
Two of the most potent forces for cultural globalisation are TV and film. Until recently, film, cable and telephone networks were seen as separate businesses offering quite distinct products and services. We are now, however, on the brink of a new information era in which cable offers the possibility of transmitting vast quantities of images and data on an interactive basis. This programme looks at the major struggle between the media and tele-communication industries for ownership and control of the 'information highways' of the future.

3. GLOBAL FIRMS IN THE INDUSTRIALISING EAST (D215/03V)
生產東移
This programme explores the changing organization of production of multinational corporations and shows how, through their location decisions, they constantly reshape the divisions of labour that exist between countries. Set in East Asia, it centres on the changing role of Singapore in the region and the activities of the 4,000 multinationals to which it plays host. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and SGS Thompson, the microelectronics multi-national, illustrate how divisions of labour worldwide change in response to changing production technologies, skill requirements and the growth of new markets.

4. GLOBAL TOURISM (D215/04V)
全球旅遊業
Tourism is a key aspect of economic and cultural globalisation and is now one of the world's major industries, but tourism does not bring unmitigated benefits. Although it encourages development of a certain kind, it has major environmental, social and cultural impacts on many destination areas. This programme focuses on the role of tourism in 'shrinking' the world, the constant search for the exotic and the 'unspoilt,' and the impact this has on indigenous cultures.

5. ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER? (D215/05V)
阿拉斯加：最後的疆土
Filmed on location in Alaska, this programme contrasts views of Alaska as an empty wilderness with the reality of native Alaskan history and experience. It addresses a number of questions. How can the past settlement and use of apparently wild areas be recognized and reconstructed, especially in areas that have been 'emptied'? What is it like to grow up as a member of a native Indian group, especially when that group is treated as if 'invisible'? How can native attitudes and practices influence land management for recreational purposes?

意大利人口的轉變
Focusing on Italy, as an extreme case, this programme follows up one of the crucial issues in understanding population change - the decline in fertility. It describes what has happened to Italy's demographic regime and offers explanations such as the crucial role of Catholic family values, late and rapid industrialization and restricted welfare systems. The programme also considers the implications of low fertility for Italian society and the economy.

7. WATER IS FOR FIGHTING OVER (D215/07V)
尋找水源
Investigates the problems posed by a scarcity of water in areas where rainfall is insufficient to meet local/regional needs. The case study chosen is that of the Truckee-Carson Basin, an area on the border between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Great Basin of Nevada. The programme looks at the complex interactions, which can occur between a range of interest groups contesting their share of the water resources, and the inequalities in the bargaining position of each of these groups.

9. WHO BELONGS TO GLASGOW? (D215/09V)
格拉斯哥：城市的形象
Images are representations of places; they are constructed and contested, and they also represent multiple identities, uniqueness of place and interdependencies. Glasgow was once regarded as the place, which best illustrated all that was wrong with the modern industrial city, and this programme uses Glasgow's 'image' as a case study. It looks at the factors involved in making it now the most successful among British cities in developing/manufacturing a new identity in the 'post-industrial' era.

10. 'BAJOUROU' - MUSIC OF MALI (D215/10V)
馬利音樂
The place, which is called Mali, and the cultures, which are called Malian, are, like all other places and cultures, both internally varied and the product of contact and interaction. By examining some of its music and the ways in which the different musics draw on and feed into other cultures, this programme explores the relation between place and culture. It provides an excellent laboratory for understanding tradition in terms of 'routes' and not 'roots.'

11. CHANGING BERLIN: CHANGING EUROPE (D215/11V)
轉變中的柏林：轉變中的歐洲
Explores the relationship between local experience and global change, as illustrated by changes taking place in Berlin in the twentieth century. The programme first traces the political and social changes which have taken place in Berlin from the turn of the twentieth century through the 1960s, '70s and '80s. It then introduces two families who live in what were formerly East and West Berlin. They describe life in the divided city, their feelings when the Berlin Wall fell, and its impact on their lives. The programme also looks at the threat posed by racism in the newly unified city and finally looks to the future, at Berlin's place as capital of a unified Germany and at its role in a new Europe.

12. THE WORLD OF THE DRAGON (D215/12V)
東方巨龍
Questions whether we should recognize non-western models of globalisation if we wish to understand what is happening in China and East Asia today, using Shanghai as an illustration of how China is being opened up. The flow of investment there is dominated by overseas Chinese entrepreneurs, especially those based in Hong Kong and Taiwan, elsewhere in East Asia and Canada. Family networks dominate and these enable business to be conducted at a distance by trust and obligation. This allows overseas Chinese money to flow back into the villages and provinces with which the family has a connection.
