Human-Environment System
What is 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.
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.
Human-Environment Interactions
Dependency
• explores the way in which
humans are dependent on
nature for a living.
Human-Environment Interactions
Adaptation
• relates to how humans
modify themselves, their
lifestyles and their behavior
to live in a new environment
with new challenges.
Human-Environment Interactions
Modification
• modifying the environment for his comfortable
living.

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