GEOG 153 — Introduction to Human Geography I
BA BA Geography and Rural Development · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
This course introduces students to the definition, scope and relevance of human geography and the history of population growth and world population distributions. The increasing role of man in the environment and the concepts of environmental determinism, possibilism and probabilism are explored. The concept of negative areas and the changing nature of the concept with improvement in technology are also examined. Man as an agent of spatial change; globalisation and composite factors of increasing technological development and its effect on the shrinking world is considered. Finally, students are guided to critically assess the ways in which culture influences the perception and use of natural resources. Year Two Semester Two
