Solution
Human geography is highly interdisciplinary because it explains the relationship between human life and the spatial variations across the Earth. It forms a close interface with sister disciplines in the social sciences to study these human elements, leading to the emergence of specialised sub-fields.
Sub-fields of Social Geography and their Sister Disciplines:
- Behavioural Geography: Links with Psychology.
- Geography of Social Well-being: Links with Welfare Economics.
- Geography of Leisure: Links with Sociology.
- Cultural Geography: Links with Anthropology.
- Gender Geography: Links with Sociology, Anthropology, and Women’s Studies.
- Historical Geography: Links with History.
- Medical Geography: Links with Epidemiology.
