Focus

The links between human and physical geography were one time more apparent than they are today. As human experience of the world is increasingly mediated by technology, the relationships between humans and the environment draw often become obscured. Thereby, integrated geography represents a critically important variety of analytical tools for assessing the affect of human presence on the environment. This is done by measuring the total of human activity on natural landforms and cycles. Methods for which this information is gained include remote sensing, and geographic information systems. Integrated geography ensures us to ponder the environment in terms of its relationship to people. With integrated geography we can analyze different social science and humanities perspectives and their ownership in understanding people environment processes. Hence, it is considered the third branch of geography, the other branches being physical and human geography.
