    Human Environment Systems

    Uploaded by

    Danica Lyra Oliveros
    Human-environment systems describes the two-way interactions between human and natural systems. It views social and natural systems as inseparable and examines the complex relationships and feedbacks between humans affecting the environment and vice versa. Key aspects of human-environment systems include landscapes, spatial distribution of populations, environmental issues, intensive farming practices, land use, and hydrology.

    Human-Environment

    Systems
    HUMAN:
    - Have the capacity to interact with their
    environment.
    - Humans and the environment have that
    “mutual” interaction with each other.
    - Have the capacity to change or influence the
    balance of society.
    ENVIRONMENT:
    - A complex of many variables which
    surrounds man as well as the living
    organisms.
    - Includes water, air and land and the
    interrelation ships which exists among and
    between water, air and land.
    SYSTEM:
    It may be described as a complex of
    interacting components together with
    the relationships among them that
    permit the identification of a boundary-
    maintaining entity or process.
    HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS

    Also known as CHANS


    (coupled human and natural
    system).
    HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS

    Dynamical two-way interactions


    between human systems (e.g.
    economic, social) and natural (e.g.
    hydrologic, atmospheric,
    biological, geological) systems.
    HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS

    Socialand natural systems are


    inseparable.
    HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS

    Tackle broader investigations into


    the complex nature of reciprocating
    interactions and feedbacks humans
    on the environment and the effect of
    the environment on humans.
    LANDSCAPE:
    The visible features of an area of land of countryside or
    land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic
    appeal.
    - Part of the Earth’s surface that can be viewed at one
    time from one place.
    - Continually changing under the influence of many
    different factors.
    TYPES OF LANDSCAPE:

    1. Natural Landscape
    – Original landscapes that exists
    before it is acted upon by human
    culture.
    TYPES OF LANDSCAPE:

    2. Cultural Landscape
    – Cultural properties [that] represent the combined
    works of nature and of man (World Heritage
    Committee)
    – Designed and created intentionally by man
    – An organically evolved landscape which may be
    relict landscape
    THEMATIC MAP
    Focuses on a specific theme or subject area
    such as physical phenomena like:
    A. temperature variation,
    B. rainfall distribution,
    C. population density in an area
    MENTAL MAP
    - First-person perspective of an area and how they
    interact with it.
    - The image you have of your neighborhood. Your
    mental map of where you live allows you to know how
    to get to your favorite coffee shop.
    - It is what you use to plan activities and routes to
    travel.
    SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION
    Describes how spread out a
    population is (what area it occurs
    in), while population density
    describes how many individuals are
    found in a given area.
    SPATIAL ANALYSIS
    type of geographical analysis which
    seeks to explain patterns of human
    behavior and its spatial expression in
    terms of mathematics, and
    geometry, that is, locational analysis.
    ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
    1. Human Overpopulation

    Human overpopulation occurs when


    the ecological foot print of a human
    population in a specific geographical
    location exceeds the carrying
    capacity of the place occupied by that
    group.
    WATER SCARCITY
    Land reclamation
    URBANIZATION
    WASTE DISPOSAL MANAGEMENT
    2. INTENSIVE FARMING

    Intensive farming or intensive


    agriculture is a kind of agriculture
    where a lot of capital and labor are
    used to increase the yield that can
    be obtained per area.
    INTENSIVE CROP FARMING
    INTENSIVE ANIMAL
    FARMING
    PESTICIDE DRIFT
    PLASTICULTURE
    DEFORESTATION
    SLASH AND BURN
    3. EXHAUSTIVE LAND USE
    It involves exhaustive management and
    modification of natural environment or
    wilderness into built environment such as
    settlements and semi-natural habitats such
    as arable fields, arrangements, activities,
    and inputs that people undertake in a
    certain land cover type.
    HABITAT
    FRAGMENTATION
    LAND DEGRADATION
    HABITAT DESTRUCTION
    BUILT ENVIRONMENT
    DESERTIFICATION
    4. HYDROLOGY

    Itis the scientific study of the movement,


    distribution, and quality of water on
    Earth and other planets, including the
    water cycle, water resources and
    environmental watershed sustainability.
    TILE
    DRAINAGE
    FLOODING
    LANDSLIDE
