Humanistic Geography

Humanistic Geography is a branch of geography that focuses on understanding how people perceive, experience, and give meaning to the places they inhabit. It emphasizes individual feelings, perceptions, and cultural connections to space, highlighting the importance of personal and communal experiences in shaping our understanding of the environment. Unlike purely spatial or statistical approaches, it explores how places influence identity and well-being. Essentially, it seeks to understand the human side of geography—the emotional and subjective relationship between people and their environment.
