Anthropology of space and environment

The Anthropology of space and environment studies how humans perceive, use, and shape their surroundings—such as homes, neighborhoods, or natural landscapes—and how these places influence social relationships, identity, and culture. It examines how cultural values and practices affect the way communities interact with their environment, and how, in turn, environmental changes impact societies. This field helps us understand the deep connection between people and places, highlighting how space and environment are integral to human life and cultural expression.
