ABSTRACT

Human geography studies people and their activities, and physical geography studies the natural environment (Goodall, 1987). While these two areas are not unconnected, human geography is specifically concerned with three integrated themes: (1) spatial analysis; (2) interrelationships between people and the environment; and (3) regional syntheses of the first two themes. Its major fields of study include behavioural, economic, historical, political, regional, rural, social, transport, and urban geography.
