Learners enrolled: 217
Geography is widely recognized as an interdisciplinary field connecting human and physical sciences.
Initially, geography concentrated on the physical characteristics of the Earth; however, contemporary geography is a comprehensive discipline that aims to comprehend the Earth and its interconnected human and natural processes. Geography has evolved over time into a transdisciplinary field that integrates regional diversity with the concepts of temporal and spatial dimensions. It offers comprehensive, human-centric, and location-focused viewpoints on the evolution of rural ecology into a globalized urban landscape across various scales, including local, regional, national, and global levels.
