WHAT IS HUMAN GEOGRAPHY? Emmanuel Kant: “History looks at change across time. Geography looks at change across space.” Human Geography: Focuses on people: where they are, what they are like, how they interact over space, and what kinds of imprints they leave on the natural landscape. Draws from the other social sciences: economics, political science, sociology, history. Helps us understand the world and appreciate the circumstances affecting people, both in our country and beyond.

BEGIN THINKING ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC LEVELS Level 1 - What? Where? When? Scale? Level 2 - Pattern Identification Level 3 Why there? How did it get there? Level 4 (prediction) So what? What if? Impacts? Effects?
7
LVL. 1 WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, & SCALE
8
LVL. 2 PATTERN IDENTIFICATION…..
9

LVL. 4 SO WHAT? WHAT IF…? IMPACTS?

SCALE CHANGES PERSPECTIVE If a map depicts a small territory it is large scale. This maps depiction is smaller than the world map, so it is larger scaled than the 1 st map.

SCALE… The larger the scale, the small the area, but the greater the detail. Small scale =‘s less detail Large scale =‘s more detail Can change our perspectives
