The purpose of this paper is to re-evaluate the theory (I) and characteristics (II) of curriculum organization of Hanna's Social Studies on the basis of elementary textbook series "Investigating Man's World" (1970) edited by him. I. The theory of curriculum organization can be summarized as follows: 1) The subject of pupil's study, which has been represented as "Communities of Men", are constructed as geographical "Area" for synthetic studies on social phenomenon in the particular place. 2) The geographical areas are investigated by the spatial methods of geography, focusing on "Areal Association" and "Spatial Interactions". 3) Pupils investigate the world areas applying "Generalizations", gathered from social sciences: political science, economics, sociology, and so on. 4) Thus, Hanna's Social Studies can be defined as "Social Studies based on Geography" that ensures pupils to recognize society scientifically on the basis of geopraphical subjects and geographic methods. II. The characteristics of curriculum organization can be summarized as follows: 1) Hanna's Social Studies adopted "Expanding Communities (Environment)" curriculum, for pupils could recognize their place of residence scientifically through the comparative study of the world areas. This is the antithesis of "Expanding Horizons" curriculum: pupils only understand their community superficically by the closed survey on their local place of residence. 2) Hanna's Social Studies was constructed as "Spatial Interrelation" in the world, for pupils could expand their viewpoints on society through the analysis of interrelationships from the local to nation area, and from the nation to other nations. This is the antithesis of "National Chronology" in the world: pupils could only grasp one viewpoint uncritically by interpreting historical trend of their nation's formation. "Investigating Man's World" can be evaluated as the proposal of curriculum theory that challenges two types of traditional Social Studies curriculum in the United States and has solved their problems. The significance of Hanna's "Social Studies based on Geography" is to develop a scientific social cognition toward the world.
