Geography I

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    Human Geography has as its fundamental object the study of space organised and modified by means of human-nature relations. Human and physical elements are directly related and interact in the process of spatial organization. Human Geography deals with themes related to demography, cartography, ethno-social composition, globalisation, economic and political dimensions that determine the organisation of geographical space and the implementation of societies in it according to a particular configuration, transport networks, and other networks that involve space and Man in a dialectical / complementary relationship.
