ENVR 306 - Human Geography

3 Credit(s)

This course concentrates on the complex human geography of the contemporary world, providing a global perspective of human interactions with earth’s resources, international and national concerns that emphasize location, and the growth and internal structure of urban regions. Landscape analysis is used to show human social organization and the environmental consequences. This involves the systematic study of patterns and processes that have enabled humans to migrate, live, and alter landscapes. Concepts in sustainability are introduced to provide an important perspective on conservation. The course uses geographic information system technology to help students visualize spatial relationships of humans to the environment.
