RATZEL
Human geography was not discovered by
a single person, but rather developed
over time as geographers began studying
how humans interact with their
environment.
However, Friedrich Ratzel (a German
geographer in the late 19th century) is
often called the “father of human
geography” because he introduced ideas
about how humans and their
environments are connected.

Is a discipline which studies the

Human geography contributes to
geography by studying people,
their activities, cultures,
economies, and their interactions
with the environment. It helps us
understand how humans shape the
Earth and how the Earth affects
human life.

Integrated geography was not

combining physical geography (study of
natural features) and human geography
(study of people and societies).

person, because it is a modern field that
developed with the invention of
computers, satellites, and GPS
technology.
The term “geomatics” was first
popularized by Michel Paradis, a FrenchCanadian surveyor, in 1981.

Regional Geography is a branch of
geography that focuses on studying the
specific characteristics of regions on
Earth. It looks at both the natural
features (like landforms, climate,
vegetation) and human aspects (like
population, culture, economy) of a
particular area to understand how they
are connected.
