Reginald George Golledge (born 6 December 1937 in Dungog, New South Wales;[1] died 29 May 2009 in Goleta, California[2]) was an Australian-born American Professor of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Golledge was a pioneer in the field of behavioral geography.
[3] When behavioral geography was divided into a humanistic and an analytical approach by the early 1970s, Golledge became the chief proponent of the latter one.
[4] In 1984 he became blind, and moved his focus to the geography of disability.
Golledge was one of the developers (the others being psychologists Jack Loomis and Roberta Klatzky) of the UCSB Personal Guidance System.
