Unit 1 -- Introduction to Human GeographyGeography: Its Nature and Perspectives:  The AP Human Geography course emphasizes the importance of geography as a field of inquiry
The course introduces students to the importance of spatial organization —the location of places, people, and events; environmental relationships; and interconnections between places and across landscapes — in the understanding of human life on Earth.  Geographic concepts emphasized throughout the course are location, space, place, scale, pattern, regionalization, and globalization.  These concepts are basic to students’ understanding of spatial interaction and spatial behavior, the dynamics of human population growth and movement, patterns of culture, economic activities, political organization of space, social issues, and human settlement patterns, particularly urbanization.  Students learn how to use and interpret maps.  They also learn to apply mathematical formulas, interpret models, and analyze quantitative and qualitative geographic data. 

The course teaches the concepts of space, place, and region; enables students to consider the regional organization of various phenomena; and encourages geographical imagination in order to understand processes in a changing world.  For example, geographical perspectives on nature and society examine human alterations to the global and local environment, including impacts on land, water, and atmosphere,as well as effects on population, biodiversity, and climate.  A significant outcome of the course is students’ awareness of geographic methods and the relevance of geospatial technologies to everyday life, planning and public policy, professional decision making, and problem solving at scales from local to global.  This combination of the conceptual and the applied helps give students a sophisticated view of the world and an appreciation of the practical applications they have learned in the course.
