Abstract
Although the principal aim of teaching of the community area is to develop pupil's ability of geographical research in an areal study, a recent trend shows that most geography teachers, especially in big cities, understand it is just a part of regional geography. The writer shows an approach to develop the ability of the geographical reseach in the study of a community area in his experiment. In this experiment he attempt to use effectively pupil's free and voluntary research dependent on their own questions.
After three years of this experiment, the writer perceives the effects as follows: (1) Pupils find easily and effectively geographical problems by themselves. (2) Pupils have many experiences of the effective filed works. (3) Teaching data are easily obtained through pupil's own questions and researches.
