Synopsis

Both social geography and cultural geography began independently as sub-fields within the larger discipline of human geography. In addition to this, it will concentrate on the most important movements and methods in social geography and analyse them critically. In addition to this, we will study culture as a theoretical term in order to comprehend the subfield of cultural geography, you will get an understanding of how the spatial pattern of human activity contributes to the formation of sociocultural space. It is true that social geography plays an important part in both human and physical geography. It serves to remind us that geographies as a whole reflect the impact of people and the social structures in which they live. Therefore, social geography investigates how space and place impact the formation of social phenomena, as well as how social phenomena, in turn, influence the building of places and space. In addition to this, the connections between society and culture are rather strong.
