WHAT IS HUMAN GEOGRAPHY? A STUDY OF PEOPLE AND PLACES A STUDY OF HOW PEOPLE MAKE PLACES, ORGANIZE SPACE AND SOCIETY, INTERACT ACROSS SPACE, AND MAKE SENSE OF OTHERS AND OURSELVES IN OUR LOCALITIES, REGIONS, AND THE WORLD A STUDY OF SPATIAL SCIENCE A STUDY OF SPATIAL VARIATION

WHAT IS HUMAN GEOGRAPHY? A SPATIAL STUDY-PERTAINING TO SPACE AN INTEREST IN SPATIAL ARRANGEMENTS OF PLACES AND PHENOMENA, HOW LAID OUT, ORGANIZED, ARRANGED, AND HOW THEY APPEARED ON LANDSCAPE

WHAT IS HUMAN GEOGRAPHY? A STUDY OF GLOBALIZATION A SET OF PROCESSES INCREASING INTERACTIONS, DEEPENING RELATIONSHIPS, AND HEIGHTENING INTERDEPENDENCE WITHOUT REGARD TO NATION BORDERS

THINK! THINK OF THE REMOTEST PLACE YOU CAN THINK OF IN THE WORLD ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. DESCRIBE HOW G. HAS CHANGED THIS PLACE AND HOW THE PEOPLE THERE CONTINUE TO SHAPE IT—TO MAKE IT TH EPLACE IT IS TODAY.

GEOGRAPHY-TYPES HUMAN (CULTURAL) PHYSICAL (LAND) LANGUAGE, RELIGION, IDENTITY LANDFORMS, CLIMATE, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE

EVOLUTION OF GEOGRAPHY GREECE AIDED BY HELP FROM EGYPTIANS AND MESOPOTAMIANS AND INDIA AND CHINA GE, GEO-EARTH GRAPHE-TO DESCRIBE, WRITE SEE ARTICLE

DEFINITION OF GEOGRAPHY SEE READING ASSIGNMENT GEOGRAPHERS USE SPATIAL PERSPECTIVE ( THE OBSERVATION GEO. PHENOMENA ACROSS SPACE) FOR STUDY. RESULT: FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY

LOCATION HUMAN- ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION REGION CONTEXT WITHIN WHICH EVENTS AND PROCESSES ARE LOCATED WHY ARE PLACES WHERE THEY ARE? RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND PHYSICAL WORLD WHAT ARE LONGTERM RESULTS OF GULF OILSPILL? AREA OF GEO. PHENOMENA WHY DID THE AUTHOR WRITE ABOUT THE REGION?

FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY PLACE MOVEMENT AREA, POSITION ON EARTH WITH UNIQUE PHY. AND HUMAN DESCRIPTORS SENSE OF PLACE (MEANING, EMOTION, CHARACTER) PERCEPTION OF PLACE (IF YOU COULD MOVE ANY PLACE TO LIVE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?) MOBILITY OF PEOPLE, PLACES, IDEAS

FIVE THEMES MOVEMENT INTERCONNECTEDNESS SPATIAL INTERACTION DEPENDING ON DISTANCE, ACCESSIBILITY, AND CONNECTIVITY UNDERSTANDING INTERACTION : IMPORTANT ASPECT OF GLOBAL SPATIAL ORDER REMEMBER GLOBALIZATION

INTRODUCTION, HUMAN GEOGRAPHY CORE ELEMENTS OF GEO. 1. FIVE THEMES 2. LANDSCAPE THE MATERIAL CHARACTER OF A PLACE INCLUDING NATURAL FEATURES, HUMAN STRUCTURES, AND OTHER OBJECTS THAT GIVE A PLACE FORM. CULTURAL LANDSCAPE: THE IMPRINT OF HUMAN ACTIVITY ON LANDSCAPE

NO PRISTENE PLACE HUMAN ACTIVITY INTERACTING WITH LANDSCAPE YEARS OF ACTIVITY/IMPRINTS ON THE LANDSCAPE-SEQUENT OCCUPANCE THE WALK AROUND CAMPUS…WHAT IS THAT AND WHY IS THAT THERE?!

GEOGRAPHY TOOLS MAPS 1.REFERENCE-LOCATION OF PLACES AND GEO. FEATURES ABSOLUTE LOCATION RELATIVE LOCATION 2.THEMATIC-TELL A STORY, SHOW MOVEMENT 3.MENTAL-PLACES IN OUR MINDS ACTIVITY SPACES-ROUTINE TRAVEL DAILY

4.STATISTICAL 5.CARTOGRAM 6.DOT 7.CHOROPLETH 8.ISOLINE

GEOGRAPHY TOOLS DISTORTION-THE “STRETCHING OF MAPS” GIS, GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM GPS, GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM MODELS- SIMPLIFIED ABSTRACTION OF REALITY TO EXPLAIN WHY AND TO EXPLAIN PATTERNS, MAKE DECISIONS, AND PREDICT BEHAVIORS

PROJECTIONS- The systematic way in which a curved surface is represented on a flat plane (such as a page in an atlas) is called a map projection.

REMOTE SENSING- DISTANCE TECHNOLOGY TIME ZONES

SCALE AND CONNECTIVITY SCALE 1. DISTANCE ON MAP COMPARED TO DISTANCE ON EARTH 2. THE TERRITORIAL EXTENT OF SOMETHING GEOGRAPHERS STUDY PATTERNS AND PLACES AT MANY SCALES: LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, GLOBAL

THE SCALE AT WHICH GEO. PHENOMENA IS STUDIED INFORMS OF LEVEL OF DETAIL. DIFFERENT PATTERNS AT DIFFERENT SCALES EX. DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH AT SCALE OF GLOBE, NORTH AM, D.C. RESCALING, AKA, JUMPING SCALE EX., ZAPATISTAS IN S. MEXICO, CHIAPAS STATE, NAFTA

REGIONS OF GEOGRAPHY DEFINED: AREA OF SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS THE CRITERIA TO DESCRIBE A REGION:

1.FORMAL (AKA UNIFORM OR HOMOGENEOUS) 2. FUNCTIONAL 3. PERCEPTUAL SOME HOMOGENEITY (SAMENESS) IN CRITERION PHENOMENA, CULTURAL OF PHYSICAL EX. FRENCH SPEAKING REGION IN EUROPE… ACTIVITIES OR INTERACTIONS TAKE PLACE EX. CITY AND SURROUNDING AREA IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE; INTELLECTUAL CONSTRUCTS EX. MIDDLE EAST

CULTURAL REGIONS OF THE WORLD NORTH AMERICA LATIN AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA EUROPE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA RUSSIA, CENTRAL ASIA, AND TRANSCAUCASIAN REGION SOUTH ASIA EAST ASIA SOUTHEAST ASIA AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, AND PACIFIC ISLANDS

DENSITY Population density is a measurement of population per unit area. population Arithmetic density, specifically, is the total number of people divided by the total land area. (how many people per area of land) Physiological density is the total number of people per area of arable land. ( how much land is being used by how many people)

DISPERSION DISPERSION OR CONCENTRATION HOW PHENOMENA ARE SPREAD OUT OVER SPACE DISPERSED OR SCATTERED CLUSTERED OR AGGLOMERATED
