Revision notes
As a social science discipline, geography studies the ‘spatial organisation’ and ‘spatial integration.’
Geography is a discipline of synthesis. It attempts spatial synthesis, and history attempts temporal synthesis. Its approach is holistic in nature. It recognises the fact that the world is a system of interdependencies. Every discipline, concerned with scientific knowledge is linked with geography as many of their elements vary over space.
Geography helps in understanding the reality in its spatial perspective.
