The document discusses the concept of human-environment systems, highlighting the interactions between humans and their environment, including how humans adapt and modify their surroundings. It explores the implications of these interactions on cultural and natural landscapes, as well as the effects of various environmental issues like pollution and climate change. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of interdependence among individuals and communities within different environmental contexts.

2. What is an human environment?
•A human environment is the
area that a human lives in. They
are varied from there, even more
so by humans ability to adapt
the environment to us and us to
the environment.

13. Objectives
• Human-Environment Systems.
• Distinguish the ways by which human-
environment interactions shape cultural
and natural landscapes.
• Interpret thematic and mental maps to
understand landscape changes and an
individual’s sense of place.
• Explain environmental and social issues
through the analysis of spatial
distributions and spatial processes.

14. Human-Environment Systems
is an integrated scientific framework for studying the
interface and reciprocal interactions that link human
(e.g., economic, social) to natural (e.g., biological,
hydrologic) sub-systems of the planet.
Concerning the sustainability and conservation of
ecosystems and society.

15. Human-Environment Interactions
Dependency
• explores the way in which
humans are dependent on
nature for a living.

16. Human-Environment Interactions
Adaptation
• relates to how humans
modify themselves, their
lifestyles and their behavior
to live in a new environment
with new challenges.

17. Human-Environment Interactions
Modification
• modifying the environment for his comfortable
living.

18. Negative Effects
Global Warming Climate Change
Water Pollution Air Pollution
Noise Pollution Soil
Pollution

19. • Places that affected by earthquakes might form land/rock
formations.
• Places that prone to drought and flood might changed its
landscapes.

21. • Red and violet colors are most compressed in
highly urban areas.

22. • Growth population is highly concentrated in city or
town.
• High possibility of having social problem in urban areas.

23. The human environment is concerned with
people who live in different environments,
their activities and the environmental
features which they have created. We also
look at the interdependence of people in the
local community-this is developed from the
infant classes looking at those who help us in
the locality. Following the spiral nature of the
curriculum this theme of interdependence is
further developed from third to 6th
class .Through the study of one European and
one non European country we look at how we
depend as countries on each other and how
different cultures enrich one another.

24. Our earth is human environment. By this I mean
that though humans are less in number than the
animals, insects, and birds combined, we dominate
the earth by our habitats. Anywhere where humans
live and create facilities is a human environment. It
is not limited to buildings and other infrastructure,
but consists of the way we function, the way we
influence our surroundings by our thoughts and
actions. It encompasses our philosophy, our art,
culture, our social structure, our economic activities
and their impact on the environment, our behavior
as a result of our thinking and so on.
