cultural ecology  

Definition

  • Cultural ecology is a subfield of geography that is shared with anthropology and other allied fields. It positions itself in the center of the humanenvironment or “nature and society” tradition in geography (which itself is considered to be the core and uniqueness of geography) and concerns itself with the way in which humans are integral components of the environment and “ecology” of a particular place.
