Study Notes
Cultural Geography
- Cultural geography is the study of how humans and their environment interact.
- It looks at the effect the Earth has on human culture.
Spatial Association
- Spatial association is the degree to which things are similarly arranged in space.
- It refers to the way things that are near each other are similar.
- Examples: rainforests, high rainfall, and high temperatures are spatially associated because they are dependent on each other.
- Cultural spatial association: cultures living near water eat a lot of fish and often have similar culture traits.
Culture Regions
- A culture region is an area where people with similar cultures live.
- Culture regions are defined by culture traits, which are characteristics of people within a culture.
- Examples: many cultures in Europe share similar culture traits, such as Santa Claus, Christianity, and similar types of industry, dress, and customs.
- The environment can stabilize a culture region, for example, the diet of Spain, Italy, and Greece is rich in vegetables and fish due to their similar environments.
Key Concepts
- Cultural traits are characteristics of people within a culture.
- Culture regions are areas where people with similar cultures live.
- Spatial association is the degree to which things are similarly arranged in space.
