GP 103 - Introduction to Human Geography

Credit Hours: 3

This course focuses on the spatial organization of human activities, including patterns of movement, the spatial diffusion of innovations, patterns of land use, location of cities and environmental perception. The course examines these diverse concepts through the unifying theme of globalization. Over the past 500 years, the world has been moving toward becoming one integrated global system rather than many different independent systems. This change has a profound impact on population, nature and economics. Throughout this course, the principles of human geography will be examined against this background of global impact.
