GEOGRAPHY
One of the Five Themes of Geography is Human/Environment
Interaction: Shaping the Landscape
The physical and human characteristics of a place provide keys
to understanding the interrelationships between people and their
environments. This geographic theme addresses this question: What
is the relationship between humans and the environment? Three key
concepts underlie human/environment relationships:
• Humans depend on the environment: The natural
environment is made up of living things and non living
things. Humans depend on the natural environment for
their basic needs; food, shelter, and clothing.
• Humans modify the environment: People modify the natural
environment to meet their needs. For example, they build
dams, plow and irrigate fields, and dig mines. They build
houses, schools, and shopping centers on land.
• Humans adapt to the environment: Humans have settled in
virtually every corner of the world by successfully
adapting to various natural settings.

For example, people who live in Baguio City use heating units
to keep their homes warm in cooler months. People in other parts of
the country like Dagupan City use air conditioning much of the year
to stay cool in the heat. The ways people choose to adapt to their
settings reflect their economic and political circumstances and their
technological abilities. Studying geography furthers appreciation of
our natural environment and of our cultural differences.
