Cultural geography is a branch of human geography focusing on cultural aspects and their spatial relationships. It studies how cultural processes shape the world and how identities are expressed in physical spaces. Originating in the late 19th century, it emphasizes the cultural landscape, the visible imprint of human activity. Key concepts include cultural diffusion, regions, and the sense of place. Methodologies range from qualitative to quantitative, using tools like GIS. Contemporary issues include globalization's impact, urban cultural dynamics, and digital media's role in cultural practices.
