PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to the discipline of Human Geography. First, we
discuss what human geography is, how it is different from other disciplines, and introduce some key
terms integral to human geography. Next, we explore the different aspects of spatial patterns, including
types of scales and regions. Finally, we provide a brief introduction to globalization and sustainability in
the context of human geography.

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
The following objectives are addressed in this chapter:
01.01 Explain the fundamental differences between physical and human geography.
01.02 Describe the features that distinguish geography from other disciplines.
01.03 Compare the spatial and ecological perspectives of human geography.
01.04 Describe the key spatial concepts of human geography.
01.05 Explain how theories and principles of human-environment interaction have developed and
changed over time.
01.06 Explain why sustainability is an important theme in human geography.
01.07 Contrast site and situation in geography.
01.08 Identify the different scales used for analysis in human geography.
01.09 Explain how using different scales of analysis allows geographers to understand how events and
processes influence one another.
01.10 Compare the three types of regions (formal, functional, and perceptual) as defined by human
geographers.
01.11 Describe factors that drive contemporary globalization.
01.12 Explain Wallerstein’s world-system theory and its three-tiered structure.
