Special Issue on Geography

Geography is the science that studies the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of the Earth. Four historical traditions in geographical research are the spatial analysis of the natural and the human phenomena , the area studies, the study of the man-land relationship, and the research in the earth sciences. Nonetheless, the modern geography is an all-encompassing discipline that foremost seeks to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be.

Geography has been called "the world discipline" and "the bridge between the human and the physical science". Geography as a discipline can be split broadly into two main subsidiary fields: the human geography and the physical geography. The former largely focuses on the built environment and how humans create, view, manage, and influence space. The latter examines the natural environment, and how organisms, climate, soil, water, and landforms produce and interact. The difference between these approaches led to a third field, the environmental geography, which combines the physical and the human geography, and looks at the interactions between the environment and humans.
