Extractions: CAMBODIA Cambodia has a land area of 181,035 square kilometers in the southwestern part of the Indochina peninsula, about 20 percent of which is used for agriculture. It lies completely within the tropics with its southern most points slightly more than 10° above the Equator. The country capital city is Phnom Penh. International borders are shared with Thailand and the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic on the West and the North, and the Social Republic of Viet Nam on the East and the Southeast. The country is bounded on the Southeast by the Gulf of Thailand. In comparison with neighbors, Cambodia is a geographical contact country administratively composed of 20 provinces, three of which have relatively short maritime boundaries, 2 municipalities, 172 districts, and 1,547 communes. The country has a coastline of 435 km and extensive mangrove stands, some of which are relatively undisturbed. The dominant features of the Cambodian landscape are the large, almost generally located, Tonle Sap (Great Lake) and the Bassac River Systems and the Mekong River, which crosses the country from North to South. Surrounding the Central Plains which covered three quarters of the countrys area are the more densely forested and sparsely populated highlands, comprising: the Elephant Mountains and Cardamom Mountain of the southwest and western regions; the Dangrek Mountains of the North adjoining of the Korat Plateau of Thailand; and Rattanakiri Plateau and Chhlong highlands on the east merging with the Central Highlands of Viet Nam.

Extractions: The Bachelor of Arts in Geography provides students with knowledge of human and physical geography. Many students spend a fifth year doing teacher training at the Faculty of Pedagogy. Graduands are accepted into various careers related to the environment across government, non-government and private sectors. (back to top) Geography has been taught at RUPP since 1960 to meet the need for geography teachers, particularly in upper high school where there is still a shortage.From 1995-1997, the French organisation, CERPAA (Centre for Population Study and Research in Africa and Asia) assisted the department by training students and staff from RUPP and other institutions in demography. From 1997-1999, Louvain La Neuve University (Belgium) took over this role. Both organisations helped establish a library, now administered by the Centre for Population Studies, a Population Research, Training and Policy program has been established to strengthen research skills and staff development. It is supported by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) and the Australian National University (ANU). (back to top) Admission
SAA Bulletin 13(5): Southeast Asia Archaeology The University of Hawai i Cambodia Project is a new multidisciplinary, cultural anthropology, geography, art history, historic preservation, http://www.saa.org/publications/saabulletin/13-5/SAA15.html
Extractions: Cambodia is a country rich in cultural heritage, and the famous complex of temples known as Angkor Wat represents only one part of a deep and varied archaeological record. The French began archaeological research in the area in the 19th century with work in the Mekong and Angkor Wat regions. The exploration of prehistoric and historic period sites in Cambodia by Cambodian and French archaeologists continued until the late 1960s. Work through the University of Hawai'i (UH) Cambodia Project concentrates on both international training and multidisciplinary research in Hawai'i and Cambodia. Current research by the UH Cambodia Project focuses on pre-Angkorean land use and state formation along the Lower Mekong region of southern Cambodia. Research planned for the next five years also entails the study of Neolithic and Bronze Age-period sites in areas of central Cambodia. Training Opportunities for Students and Professionals The UH Cambodia Project invests much of its energies in training a new generation of archaeologists. While a primary goal of the project is to prepare Cambodian students to undertake graduate training in archaeology in the United States, another important objective is to facilitate training and thesis research for American (and other non-Cambodian) archaeology students. These students will receive graduate training at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa in archaeology, anthropology, and language (Khmer). Special training in analytical techniques (including compositional analysis and GIS [Geographic Information Systems] analysis) is also available. Graduate students will participate in the Cambodian field project as instructors and researchers. The training component of the UH Cambodia Project thus provides academic and field training to Cambodian students and American archaeology graduate students.

Rachel's recent research examines the national and local-level memorial sites of Cambodia in relation to processes of national reconciliation, international intervention and cultural and religious regeneration in the post-1979 era. In addition, her study involves sites of memory outside Cambodia's sovereign borders, including popular geopolitical representations of Cambodia in film, international photographic exhibitions and tourism literatures. Her work contributes to a growing literature in geography concerned with the production and contestation of political legitimacy through national monuments and other symbolic sites, and visual and material culture.
In Cambodia's Biggest Dump, School Offers Hope Knee deep in trash, Phnom Penh s poorest families struggle to build a life fromwhat others throw away. They are scavengerssome as young as http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/09/0912_030912_tvtrashdump.html
Extractions: September 12, 2003 Knee deep in trash, Phnom Penh's poorest families struggle to build a life from what others throw away. They are scavengers, living amid mountains of garbage in Stung Meanchey, the largest trash dump in Cambodia. Their village, Preak Torl, a cluster of plywood shacks, clings to the dump's edge. Fumes from sewage and burning garbage fill the air. Pigs forage in the village's dirt lanes. "They work from sunrise to sunset, and sometimes until ten o'clock at night," said Sy Sam, a Cambodian social worker who monitors the dump. "It's most dangerous at night when they can't see what they're grabbing or where they're stepping." Some children as young as seven-years-old accompany their parents to the dump, becoming scavengers to help support their families. Sam works with a French organization, For the Smile of Child, that's trying to change that. They set up a nearby school in 1996 to give the kids of Steang Meanchey a way out.
Extractions: Cambodia Background: Following a five-year struggle, Communist Khmer Rouge forces captured Phnom Penh in 1975 and ordered the evacuation of all cities and towns; over 1 million displaced people died from execution or enforced hardships. A 1978 Vietnamese invasion drove the Khmer Rouge into the countryside and touched off 13 years of fighting. UN-sponsored elections in 1993 helped restore some semblance of normalcy, as did the rapid diminishment of the Khmer Rouge in the mid-1990s. A coalition government, formed after national elections in 1998, brought renewed political stability and the surrender of remaining Khmer Rouge forces.
Extractions: Home Home Climate Polulations ... Angkor Wat Temples Geography Covering an area of 181,035 square kilometres Cambodia is about half the size of Germany. In the West the country is bordered by Thailand, in the North by Laos and in the East by Vietnam. By far the most important river of Cambodia is the Mekong , which passes through the country for about 500 kilometres in a northsoutherly direction. The Mekong is passable for ships from its delta in Vietnam until Phnom Penh. Southeast Asia's largest lake, Tonle Sap , is in Cambodia and is connected to the Mekong by a short river, also called Tonle Sap. For most of the time this river flows from lake Tonle Sap into the Mekong. However, during the Southeast Asian rainy season from June to October when the Mekong drains large areas of Southeast Asia, the Tonle Sap river flows from the Mekong back into lake Tonle Sap thus causing enormous floods in the area surrounding the lake. During this time, lake Tonle Sap can swell to more than twice its regular size. Central Cambodia is a fertile plain . Mountain ranges in the shape of a semicircle form a natural boundary with Thailand. In the West are the Cardamon Mountains (designated after the spice of the same name), in the Southwest the
Instapundit.com - NOTHING ON THE KERRY/CAMBODIA STORY in either the New York Times or the Vietnam and nextdoor Cambodia - a geographical zone not found on maps, http://instapundit.com/archives/017139.php
Extractions: About Me PDA Backup Extra ... Main NOTHING ON THE KERRY/CAMBODIA STORY in either the New York Times or the Washington Post this morning I just searched both sites. Even though the Kerry Campaign has now admitted that Kerry's oft-repeated stories about being in Cambodia on Christmas Day, 1968 aren't true. The Post did find the time to condemn the Swift Boat vets, though, without admitting that one of their charges has already been borne out. They're spending another chunk of their diminishing credibility to help this guy. Hope they still think it was worth it in a few years. UPDATE: Well here's a report: For the first time, Sen John Kerry, the Democratic presidential challenger, has been left floundering by allegations that he invented a key episode of his decorated wartime service in Vietnam - a central plank of his election platform. . . . the Kerry campaign was left in verbal knots after a new book accused the senator of inventing stories about being sent, illegally, over the border into neutral Cambodia. . . . In newspaper articles, interviews and at least one Senate speech, Mr Kerry has claimed that he spent Christmas 1968 inside Cambodia, at a time when even the US president was publicly denying that American forces were inside that country.
