Humanistic Geography is a branch of geography that focuses on understanding the human experience and the meanings people attach to places. It emphasizes subjective interpretations of space, exploring how individuals perceive and interact with their environments. This approach often considers cultural, emotional, and social factors that shape human behavior in different locations. This field contrasts with traditional geography, which tends to prioritize quantitative data and objective analysis. Humanistic Geography seeks to capture the richness of human experiences, often using qualitative methods such as interviews and narratives. Key figures in this field include Yi-Fu Tuan and Edward Relph, who have contributed significantly to the understanding of place and space.
