Human geography, also known as
anthropogeography, is a branch of geography that focuses
on the systematic study of patterns and processes that shape
human interaction with the environment. It encompasses
human, political, cultural, social, and economic aspects.
While the major focus of human geography is not the physical
landscape of the Earth (physical geography) it is hardly
possible to discuss human geography without referring to the
physical landscape on which human activities are being
played out, and environmental geography is emerging as a
link between the two. [Adapted from
