Geography is the science of location. As such, it is concerned with the identification, classification, and locational analysis of peoples and places in the world’s major physical and cultural regions. Specifically, geographers try to understand how people use the land they live on and what makes the land different from other areas. Geographic concerns include the nature of places, human impact on the environment and the proper use of land. These concerns have ramifications for travel and tourism, environmental planning, urban, regional and transportation planning, cartography and computer analysis of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
