Social geography in the system of geography

Abstract

The concept of social geography has developed in different ways in the English and German‑speaking areas. In the former regions it has become one segment of the narrow science of cultural geography. In the latter, an in­tegrated logical system of geography as a whole has been developed, repre­senting the entity of man and his environment, although other opinions have been proposed, too. In this article social geography, derived from the latter opinion, is located on the uppermost level of integration in the logical system of geography.
