Topic: Cultural geography

	Geography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with various environments.
		While the major focus of human geography is not the physical landscape of the Earth (see Physical geography) it is hardly possible to discuss human geography without referring to the physical landscape on which human activities are being played out, and environmental geography is emerging as a link between the two.
		In cultural geography there is a tradition of employing qualitative research techniques also used in anthropology and sociology.
