Nature of human geography is very complex and extensive. According to Jean Brunsh, in the way economics related to prices, geology related to rocks, botany to plants, in the same way geography is related to place, under which answers to questions such as where an$ why are analysed. Fluman geography studies the central role of the human.

Friedrich Ratzel who is called the founder of modern human geography, laid emphasis on synthetic study of human societies and mutual relationship with surface environment of the earth. All the man – made landscapes visible on the earth are studied under human geography. Thus, human activities are at the center point in the nature of human geography.

Representation of development of human activities (when, why and how) with geographical point of view shows the nature of human geography. Human geography concentrates on study of ecological adjustment and regional organisation of different regions. The study of usage of environment for the biotic, economic, social and cultural development of mankind living on the earth and the study of changes made by mankind in the environment is the basis of human geography.

In a nutshell, it can be said that human geography studies mutual interrelationships of the complex facts of the humans and the environment while keeping the humans in the centre.
