The targets of geographical training are to provide sustainable relationships between human and natural environment. Taking humans' attention to possible inconvenient situations, as a result of underestimating the natural balance is one of the primary targets of geography education. And another objective of this lesson is to show the dimension of possibilities that natural environment offer us and how to use these possibilities.We can not say that current geography teaching methods using in Turkey are sufficient to reach the goals of the geography education mentioned above. If we have reached the goals of geography education, environmental disasters like erosion and forest fires, and mistakes on misuse of the lands like building on agricultural realms, over grazing, to construct second house on the dwelling area etc. could be seen today in the country.All the information related to geography is giyen to students by "transmission method" orally in the classroom environment, and only atlas and wall maps are used as teaching aids. In this teaching approach, students accept the information, solutions and judgements offered by teachers and/or textbooks instead of noticing and developing relationship between natural environment and human activities and finding solutions.These problems, some extent, can be solved by means of Geographical Information System (GIS). By using GIS labs students will develop some skills related to natural environment and places such as analysing, evaluating, decisions taking and reporting the results. Therefore, I believe to reach the targets of geography education, high schools should have GIS labs.
