and why it’s there

What is Human Geography?
Human geography - is the branch of geography
that focuses on the study of patterns and processes
that shape human interaction with the environment,
with particular reference to the causes and
consequences of the spatial distribution of human
activity on the Earth's surface

Fields of Human Geography
Cultural Geography - is the study of cultural
products and norms and their variation across and
relations to spaces and places.
Development Geography - is the study of the
Earth's geography with reference to the standard
of living and quality of life of its human inhabitants.
Economic Geography - is the study of the location,
distribution and spatial organization of economic
activities across the Earth.

Fields of Human Geography
Political Geography - is concerned with the study of
both the spatially uneven outcomes of political
processes and the ways in which political processes are
themselves affected by spatial structures.
Population Geography - is the study of the ways in
which spatial variations in the distribution, composition,
migration, and growth of populations are related to the
nature of places.
Urban Geography – is the study of urban areas, which
have a high concentration of buildings and
infrastructure

Location
Most geographic study begins with learning the
location of places
Absolute location – provides a definite reference
to locate a place
The reference can be latitude and longitude or a
street address
Relative location – describes a place with respect
to its environment and its connection to other places

Place
Place describes the human and physical
characteristics of a location
Physical characteristics – include a description
such things as the rivers & topography
Human characteristics – include the human-
designed cultural features of a place, from
land use and architecture to forms of
livelihood, to food and folk ways

Movement
Humans move, a lot
In addition, ideas, fads, goods, resources, and
communication all travel distances
This theme studies movement and migration
across the planet

Region
Region divides the world into manageable units
for geographic study, which usually have some
sort of characteristic that unifies the area
Regions can be formal, functional, or
vernacular.
Formal regions – are those that are designated by
official boundaries, such as cities, states, counties,
and countries.
For the most part, they are clearly indicated and
publicly known.

Region
Functional regions – are defined by their
connections. For example, the circulation area for a
major city area is the functional region of that
newspaper
Vernacular regions – are perceived regions, such
as "The South," "The Midwest," or the "Middle East;"
they have no formal boundaries but are understood
in our mental maps of the world

Interaction
This theme considers how humans adapt to and
modify the environment
Humans shape the landscape through their
interaction with the land; this has both positive
and negative effects on the environment

Chocolate
Chocolate was “discovered” for Europe by
Christopher Columbus, but it’s commercial
possibilities were recognized by Hernan Cortez who
was served a drink made from cocoa beans by
Moctezuma, leader of the Aztecs (whom he later
executed)
The cacao tree, like coffee, grows only in the tropics
Today it is grown primarily for export to the U.S.
and Europe.

Globalization
The increasing interconnectedness of different parts of the world through common processes of economic, political, and cultural change
The economic, cultural, and environmental effects of globalization are highly contested
