Human Geography or anthropogeography is the part of Geography that is related and manages people and their associations with networks, societies, economies, and co-operations with the climate by contemplating their relations with and across areas. It examines examples of human social connection, their communications with the climate, and their spatial interdependencies by use of subjective and quantitative examination strategies.

Geography was not perceived as a conventional scholastic discipline until the eighteenth century, albeit numerous researchers had attempted topographical grant for any longer, especially through map making. The Royal Geographical Society was established in England in 1830, albeit the United Kingdom didn't get its first full Chair of topography until 1917. The principal genuine topographical keenness to arise in United Kingdom's geological personalities was Halford John Mackinder, designated peruse at Oxford University in 1887.

The National Geographic Society was established in the United States in 1888 and started distribution of the National Geographic magazine which became, and keeps on being, an incredible populariser of geographic data. The general public has since a long time ago upheld geographic exploration and instruction on geological subjects.

The Association of American Geographers was established in 1904 and was renamed the American Association of Geographers in 2016 to more readily mirror the undeniably global person of its enrolment. One of the main instances of geographic strategies being utilized for purposes other than to depict and hypothesize the actual properties of the earth is John Snow's guide of the 1854 Broad Street cholera flare-up. However Snow was fundamentally a doctor and a pioneer of the study of disease transmission as opposed to a geographer, his guide is presumably probably the most punctual illustration of wellbeing topography [1].

FIELDS

Cultural

Social Geography is the investigation of social items and standards - their variety across spaces and places, just as their relations. It centres around depicting and investigating the ways language, religion, economy, government, and other social wonders change or stay steady starting with one spot then onto the next and on clarifying how people work spatially. Subfields include: Social Geography, Animal geologies, Language Geography, Sexuality and space, Children's topographies, and Religion and Geography [2-4].

Development

Improvement Geography is the investigation of the Earth's Geography concerning the way of life and the personal satisfaction of its human occupants, investigation of the area, dissemination and spatial association of financial exercises, across the Earth. The topic explored is emphatically affected by the specialist's methodological methodology.

Economies

Monetary Geography looks at connections between human financial frameworks, states, and different variables, and the biophysical climate.

Subfields include: Marketing Geography and Transportation Geography

Health

Clinical or wellbeing Geography is the use of geological data, points of view, and techniques to the investigation of wellbeing, infection, and medical services. Wellbeing Geography manages the spatial relations and examples among individuals and the climate. This is a sub-discipline of human Geography, exploring how and why illnesses are spread and contained [3].

Urbanism

Metropolitan Geography is the investigation of urban communities, towns, and different spaces of somewhat thick settlement. Two primary interests are site (how a settlement is situated comparative with the actual climate) and circumstance (how a settlement is situated comparative with different settlements). Another space of interest is the inner association of metropolitan regions with respect to various segment gatherings and the format of framework. This subdiscipline likewise draws on thoughts from different parts of Human Geography to see their association in the cycles and examples obvious in a metropolitan area.

Subfields include: Economic Geography, Population Geography, and Settlement Geography. These are plainly by all account not the only subfields that could be utilized to aid the investigation of Urban Geography, yet they are some significant players [4].
