Editing Integrated geography (section)

== Origins ==
Integrated geography requires an understanding of the dynamics of [[physical geography]], as well as the ways in which human societies conceptualize the environment ([[human geography]]). Thus, to a certain degree, it may be seen as a successor of ''Physische Anthropogeographie'' (English: "physical anthropogeography")—a term coined by [[University of Vienna]] geographer [[Albrecht Penck]] in 1924<ref>Karlheinz Paffen (1959): Stellung und Bedeutung der Physischen Anthropogeographie. In: ''[[Erdkunde]]'' 13 (4), pp. 354–372. [https://dx.doi.org/10.3112/erdkunde.1959.04.08 DOI: 10.3112/erdkunde.1959.04.08]</ref>—and geographical [[Cultural ecology|cultural]] or [[human ecology]] ([[Harlan H. Barrows]] 1923). Integrated geography in the United States is principally influenced by the schools of [[Carl O. Sauer]] (Berkeley), whose perspective was rather historical, and [[Gilbert F. White]] (Chicago), who developed a more applied view.
Integrated geography describes and explains the spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment, called [[coupled human–environment system]]s.
