KEY QUESTION #1: WHAT IS
HUMAN GEOGRAPHY?
HG focuses on…
• How people make places
• How we organize space & society
• How we interact with each other in places & across space
• How we make sense of others & ourselves in our locality, region & world
Advances in communication & transportation are making people & places more interconnected every day

KEY QUESTION #1: WHAT IS
HUMAN GEOGRAPHY?
The world consists of…
• 195 states(we will use the term state now, not country)
• Hundreds of religions(19 with at least 1 million adherents)
• Almost 7,000 languages spoken
• Thousands and thousands of cultural characteristics
Understanding & explaining this diversity is the mission of human geography

KEY QUESTION #1: WHAT IS
HUMAN GEOGRAPHY?
Key term in HG is “globalization”
• Set of processes that are increasing interactions, deepening relationships & heightening interdependence
Human-environment interaction is critical as well
• People adapt to, alter, manipulate, and cope with their surroundings
• Each place is affected by and created by people---and each place reflects the culture of the people in that place over time

KEY QUESTION #2: WHAT ARE
GEOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS? A simple definition(by geographer Marvin
Mikesell) of geography is the “why of where”; this concept leads to several questions: • Why and how do things come together in
places to produce particular outcomes? • Why are some things found in certain places
but not in others? • To what extent do things in one place influence
those in others? • Why does it matter what things are different
across space? • What role does a place play in its region & the
world?

KEY QUESTION #2: WHAT ARE
GEOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS?
Questions like these, and others, are the core of geographic inquiry; they are critical to understanding the world
To fully understand a concept, one must understand its spatial(fancy word for “geographic) distribution
• Once one understands this then they have a “spatial perspective” of the world

What processes create and sustain the pattern of a distribution?

KEY QUESTION #2: WHAT ARE
GEOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS?
Another commonly used phrase is “cultural landscape”
• The visible imprint of human activity on the landscape
• This term was created by geographer Carl Sauer in 1927
A related term is “sequent occupance”
• Created by Derwent Whittlesey; refers to cultural succession and the imprint that successive occupiers can have on a place

WHAT DO MAPS
TELL US?

KEY QUESTION #3: WHY DO GEOGRAPHERS
USE MAPS & WHAT DO MAPS TELL US?
Cartography is the science of mapmaking
Reference maps show locations of places & geographic features(includes political & physical maps)
Thematic maps tell stories, showing the degree of same attribute or the movement of a phenomenon
Mental maps are the maps we carry in our mind(usually the closer a location is, the more clear sense of accuracy exists in our mental placement of it)
