Since its inception in 1953, the Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography has been a vital platform for academic exchange in the field of tropical geography. The journal not only focuses on the natural environment of tropical regions, such as climate, topography, and ecosystems, but also delves into the impact of human activities on these environments and how to promote sustainable development while protecting the environment. The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that combines theories and methods from geography, ecology, sociology, economics, and planning to comprehensively analyze the complex issues of tropical areas. These studies may include in-depth discussions on tropical urbanization, agricultural development, resource management, environmental protection policies, and socio-economic changes.

Furthermore, the journal is committed to publishing research on emerging issues and challenges faced by tropical regions, such as the impact of climate change, the conservation of biodiversity, and the effects of globalization on local societies. Through these high-quality research articles and reviews, the journal provides valuable information and perspectives for policymakers, researchers, and educators, promoting a deeper understanding of the complexities of tropical regions and contributing to academic research and practical applications in related fields.
