What is Human Geography? Human geography = the study of how societies construct places, how humans use the surface of the earth, how social phenomena are distributed spatially, and how we bring space into consciousness Human geography is part of GEOGRAPHY concerned with the spatial analysis of the human population. (Encyclopedia of Human Geography:2006) (A Modern Dictionary of Geography:2001) 5 What is Human Geography? What is Human Geography? Human Geography is one of the two main parts of geography (the other being physical geography) studying the spatial and temporal distribution of population, their activities, social organization and culture on a local to global scale. (Dictionary of Geography:2007) Geography was no exception to this and gradually, through the 1980s, all of the sub-disciplines of human geography came to be conscious of the ‘cultural’ dimensions of their field of study: economic geographers ‘discovered’ embeddedness of local economies in local social practices; political geographers became aware of new nationalisms and notions of identity in boundary formation and exclusion; urban geographers turned their attention to lifestyle and they became enthusiastic about cultural regeneration of cities; the countryside was rethought as a cultural construction, as was nature itself; retail geographers became enthusiastic about sites of consumption, as opposed to patterns of distribution. ......Like Geography as a whole, human geography covers three related themes: (1) spatial analysis – the recording and description of human phenomena around the earth’s surface, with special attention to the significance of space as a variable; (2) the study of the inter-relationships between human beings and their environment, both natural and socio-economic; (3) a regional synthesis which combines the first two themes in specified localities. (Goodall:1987) Geograf membiasakan kerja lapangan (fieldwork) untuk memahami variasi tempat dan ruang serta kompleksitas permasalahannya Contoh ■ Mengapa Daerah Lembang ditanami teh dan kopi? (Social Geography Study Group Institute of British Geographers:1988) Geographic inquiry focuses on the spatial: Key Question: What are Geographic Questions? - the spatial arrangement of places and phenomena (human and physical). - how are things organized on Earth? - how do they appear on the landscape? - why? where? so what? 6 Spatial distribution What processes create and sustain the pattern of a distribution?

Key Words: Geographic Concepts and Approach 11 Old Approaches to Human-Environment Questions: ■ Environmental Determinism (has been rejected by almost all geographers) ■ Possibilism (less accepted today) New Approaches to Human-Environment Questions: ■ Cultural ecology ■ Political ecology Key Word: Geographers Concerned with Scale Local Regional National Global Scale Scale is a powerful concept because: - Processes operating at different scales influence one another. - What is occurring across scales provides context for us to understand a phenomenon. - People can use scale politically to change who is involved or how an issue is perceived. Four Branch of Human Geography ■ Cultural (social) Geography ■ Population Geography ■ Political Geography ■ Economic Geography 12 An in-depth Social Science Thinking Geographically Where we find Geography? ■ Geography exist in the global issues receiving attention at this time things such as • Population growth • Terrorism • Cultural diffusion. • Diffusion is defined as the spread of linguistic or cultural practices or innovations within a community or from one community to another. Thinking Geographically ■ In addition to political rule, boundaries can be drawn based on various components of culture including language, religion, values. ■ Many people have misconceptions about geography and think of the discipline as simply an exercise in memorizing place names. Location, Location, Location ■ Geography's importance can also be established by looking at community issues, such as: • • • • • Water supply Pollution Growth management Housing Retail • Openings • Closures Questions to Ponder ■ Where would the most desirable places to live be located? ■ What impacts would this population increase cause? 13 Every Story Can be approached from a Geographers Perspective Spatial analysis ■ Geography by its nature is a spatial science. Geographers therefore study space in order to locate the distribution of people and objects. Geographers ask two main questions, “where” and “why.” Spatial analysis is concerned with analyzing regularities achieved through interaction. Regularities result in a distinctive distribution of a feature. Distribution has three properties: ■ Consider natural events and natural disasters. Do humans choose to live in harm’s way? World Political Boundaries (2004) • • • Density Concentration Pattern How Geographers Address Location ■ Maps • • • • Early mapmaking Map scale Projection Land Ordinance of 1785 ■ Contemporary Tools • GIS • Remote sensing • GPS Fig. 1-1: National political boundaries are among the most significant elements of the cultural landscape Ptolemy’s view of the world c150AD Old Islamic Maps Fulfilling the duties of formal prayers and the pilgrimage, Muslims need to find the direction and routes leading to al Ka'ba from virtually any spot on the globe. The Ka'ba is the house of Abraham in Mecca. And it is the point at which Muslims must face when they perform prayers. Left - map of the world in 1154 by Idrissi Right - map of the world made by the Muslim geographer Jihani in the 10th century of the Christian era. 14 Maps of the Marshall Islands Fig. 1-2: A Polynesian “stick chart” depicts patterns of waves on the sea route between two South Pacific islands. Modern maps show the locations of these Marshall Islands. Examples of Map Projections Scale Differences: Maps of Florida Fig. 1-3: The effects of scale in maps of Florida. (Scales from 1:10 million to 1:10,000) Township and Range System in the U.S. Mollweid - Equal Area Map http://www.nationalatlas.gov/articles/ mapping/a_projections.html Layers of a GIS Fig. 1-4: Principal meridians and east-west baselines of the township system. Townships in northwest Mississippi and topographic map of the area. GPS Fig. 1-5: A geographic information system (GIS) stores information about a location in several layers. Each layer represents a different category of information. 15 Uniqueness of Places and Regions Site: Lower Manhattan Island ■ Place: Unique location of a feature • • • • Place names Site Situation Mathematical location ■ Regions: Areas of unique characteristics • • • • Cultural landscape Types of regions Regional integration of culture Cultural ecology Fig. 1-6: Site of lower Manhattan Island, New York City. There have been many changes to the area over the last 200 years. Situation: Singapore Djibouti & Lahore Fig. 1-7: Singapore is situated at a key location for international trade. World Geographic Grid Fig. 1-8: The world geographic grid consists of meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude. The prime meridian (0º) passes through Greenwich, England. World Time Zones Fig. 1-9: The world’s 24 standard time zones are often depicted using the Mercator projection. 16 Election 2000: Regional Differences Fig. 1-10: Presidential election results by county and state illustrate differences in regional voting patterns. Vernacular Regions Formal and Functional Regions Fig. 1-11: The state of Iowa is an example of a formal region; the areas of influence of various television stations are examples of functional regions. Vernacular Region - Kurdistan Fig. 1-12: A number of factors are often used to define the South as a vernacular region, each of which identifies somewhat different boundaries. Spatial Association at Various Scales What is Culture? ■ Your book defines culture as a body of customary believes, material trades, and social forms that together constitute the distinct tradition of a group of people. ■ The Latin root of culture is cultus, which means to care for. Example Agriculture (term for growing things) Fig. 1-13: Death rates from cancer in the U.S., Maryland, and Baltimore show different patterns that can identify associations with different factors. 17 World Climate Regions Cultural Ecology ■ Geographers also consider environmental factors as well as cultural factors, when looking at regions. ■ This is cultural ecology. • Basically, this is the geographic study of human-environmental relations. ■ In the 19th Century – some geographers said that human actions were caused by environmental conditions. (environmental determinism) ■ This is rejected by modern geographers that say some environmental conditions limit human actions. (possibilism) ■ Of course now we are realizing that humans can actually adjust their environment. (For good or bad) Fig. 1-14: The modified Köppen system divides the world into five main climate regions. Geomorphology Environmental Modification in the Netherlands ■ This is the branch of geology that studies the characteristics and configuration and evolution of rocks and land forms. Fig. 1-15: Polders and dikes have been used for extensive environmental modification in the Netherlands. Environmental Modification in Florida Similarity of Different Places ■ Scale: From local to global View of Miami Beach • Globalization of economy • Globalization of culture ■ Space: Distribution of features • Distribution • Gender and ethnic diversity in space Fig. 1-16: Straightening the Kissimmee River has had many unintended side effects. The barrier Island Orchid Island – in the town I grew up in. ■ Connections between places • Spatial interaction • Diffusion 18 Globalization of the Economy Globalization of culture ■ What are the major Elements of culture? • Customary beliefs • Social customs • Material traits ■ Affects of globalization of culture • • • • Fewer local differences Enhanced communications Unequal access Difficulty in maintaining of local traditions ■ There is also globalization of environment • Sensitive and insensitive environmental modification Fig. 1-17: The Denso corporation is headquartered in Japan, but it has regional headquarters and other facilities in North America and Western Europe. Density, Concentration, and Pattern Density and Concentration of Baseball Teams, 1952–2000 Fig. 1-19: The changing distribution of North American baseball teams illustrates the differences between density and concentration. Housing density in Hong Kong Fig. 1-18: The density, concentration, and pattern (of houses in this example) may each vary in an area or landscape. Space-Time Compression, 1492–1962 Spatial Interaction ■ Interdependence exists among places based upon the degree of spatial interaction. • Spatial interaction is established through the movement of people, ideas, and objects between regions. • For example, Travel has changed considerably over the last 500 years. ■ In the past, most forms of interaction among cultural groups required the physical movement of settlers, explores, and plunders from one place to another. • Today travel by car or plane is much faster and communication is instantaneous. • When places are connected to each other through a network, geographers say there is a spatial interaction between them. Fig. 1-20: The times required to cross the Atlantic, or orbit the Earth, illustrate how transport improvements have shrunk the world. 19 Airline Route Networks Diffusion ■ Diffusion is the process by which a characteristic spreads across space from one place to another over time. • The place of origin of the characteristic is called the hearth. • For example – US, Canadian, and many Latin cultures can be traced back to the European Hearth. ■ There are two basic types of diffusion: • • Relocation diffusion Expansion diffusion • • • Hierarchical diffusion Contagious diffusion Stimulus diffusion ■ Expansion Diffusion includes- Fig. 1-21: Delta Airlines, like many others, has configured its route network in a “hub and spoke” system. AIDS Diffusion in the U.S., 1981–2001 Any Questions? Fig. 1-22: New AIDS cases were concentrated in three nodes in 1981. They spread through the country in the 1980s, but declined in the original nodes in the late 1990s. Tugas Mandiri Give one Elementery Student a blank piece of paper.
