• Memorizing place names and boundaries. (though you need to learn context through maps)
• Where things and people are located (though you need basic descriptive background)

Geography breaksdown boundaries
• Can cross nature-human border.
• Can compare different places/regions.
• Can compare different scales (local, national, global)
• Can study reality on the ground, over time.
• Can study anything related to place(s).

Human Geography studies…
• How human beings organize our activity spatially, and interact with our environment.
• How and why places are made and remade, and how our home places shape who we are.
• How different places interact spatially.

What Human Geographers Do
• Human Geography involves the investigation of the relationship between people and place.
• “The Earth as the home of human beings.”• (Yi-Fu Tuan)
• “Writing the earth”: ‘to write” (graphien) the earth (geo)”.

Making Space into Place
Space is abstract,geometric, empty,like an impersonallocation on a grid
Place is constructed byhuman beings, and givenmeaning through social interaction/memories.
