Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way those locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. The study of the diverse environments, places, and spaces of Earth’s surface and their interactions. It seeks to answer the questions of why things are as they are where they are. The modern academic discipline of geography is rooted in ancient practice, concerned with the characteristics of places, in particular their natural environments and peoples, as well as the relations between the two.

Course Outcome (Honours)

• The main practical topics are map scale and map projection. The map scales are used to determine physical distance and size of geographical area.
• It indicates the distance between 2 points on a map bears the distance between the corresponding points on the actual ground.
• The method used to portray a part of the spherical Earth on a flat surface whether a paper map or a computer.
• In other words a map projection systematically renders a 3D ellipsoid of Earth to a 2D map surface. 3D services cannot be perfectly displayed in two dimensions hence distortions occur.
• Therefore each type of projection preserves a particular property distorting the other properties.
• It is up to the cartographer to determine which projection is most suitable for this purpose.

• Topographic maps show physical and cultural features with the help of conventional symbols. It has multiple uses in the present day in any type of Geographic planning or large scale architecture, earth sciences, civil engineering and even the present Remote Sensing and GIS.

• Most large settlements have more than one function though in the past one function was maybe the most important in defining the success and growth in importance of the settlement.

• The topic includes meteorological instruments and daily weather interpretation and representation of the climatic data.
• These topics help students learn how to measure the air temperature, air pressure on a daily or monthly basis.
• The topic also helps to learn to interpret the symbols used in Indian weather maps and analyze and how to represent climatic data through the technique of climograph and hythergraph.

• The topics include basic statistical terms, calculation of measures of Central tendency correlations.
• The topics are mathematical science that works with numerical data.
• It helps better understanding and accurate description of nature's phenomena and also helps in efficient planning in many fields of study.

• The topics of study are rainfall and temperature graphs in selected stations and decadal growth rate of population. The inequality measuring methods are Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient.
• The farmer is the graphical method of expression and the letter is the mathematical method of measuring the inequality regarding any population nature.
• The students will learn about the various ways of expressing the population characteristics.

• Economic geography is a sub-field within the larger subjects of geography and economics.
• Researchers within this field study the location, distribution, and organization of economic activity around the world.
• Economic Geography is important in both developed and underdeveloped nations such as the United States, India, China, Bangladesh because it allows researchers to understand the structure of the area's economy and its economic relationship with other areas around the world.

• Regional Planning is a multidisciplinary approach which aims at holistic development of a region.
• Regional Planning is a specific type of planning, based on, specific planning structure for inducing public action aimed at societal wellbeing.
• It implies that Regional Planning is concerned fundamentally with the society in the context of space.
• Regional Planning is considered as a geo-technology for comprehensive development of regions through rational transformation of regional space.
• It seeks to recognize space more rationally with a view to achieving greater regional integration
• Field research is defined as a qualitative method of data collection that aims to observe, interact and understand people while they are in a natural environment. For example, nature conservationists observe behavior of animals in their natural surroundings and the way they react to certain scenarios. In the same way, social scientists conducting field research may conduct interviews or observe people from a distance to understand how they behave in a social environment and how they react to situations around them.
• To complete and analyze a few objectives students need to follow a distinct methodology. 4^th semester (H) and 6^th semester (H) students of 2022 went to Dzongri village, Upper Pelling, Sikkim to study and observe their way of life to cope up with landslide hazards.

• The topics help to learn about the population projection, the concept of density of the population, area identification of low and high density, and its relationship with other causal factors for population growth and distribution.
• The study also includes the number of people participating in different sectors of the economy which help to identify the real life situation of the people participating as there will be use of authentic data like Census of India, NSSO. etc

• In this paper, topics include rank size method, State wise variation and trend in urbanization.
• The paper helps to understand the pattern of distribution of urban centers scientifically.
• Rank size method is one of the accepted methods for studying or analyzing the pattern of distribution of urban centers.
• The exact state wise variation and trend of urbanization can be observed from the data taken from census population.

• Cartography or mapmaking is the study and practice of making maps .Map making involves the application of both scientific and artistic elements, combining graphic talents and specialized knowledge of compilation and design principles with available techniques for product generation.
• Map function as visualization tools for spatial data. Spatial data is stored in a database and extracted for a variety of purposes.
• The traditional analog methods of map making have been replaced by digital interactive maps that can be manipulated digitally.
• Modern cartography like many other fields of “information technology” has undergone.
• Rather than merely drawing maps the cartographic process is concerned with I) Data manipulation, II) Data capture, III) Image processing and IV) Visual display.
• Cartographic representations may appear in printed form or as dynamic images generated on a computer display screen.
• Computer assisted mapping systems have added a new and exciting dimension to cartographic techniques and traditional methodologies have to be augmented with new skills. The fundamental nature of cartography has changed with the evolving technologies, providing cartographers with new methods for visualization and communication of spatial information.

• Social geography is the branch of human geography that is interested in the relationships between society and space, and is most closely related to social theory in general and sociology in particular, dealing with the relation of social phenomena and its spatial components. In a nutshell, social geography focuses on the scientific study of the relationship of society and space (spatial components).
• It is interested in answering the questions of how societal processes determine space and its structures and how spatial conditions determine the existence of societies.

Course Outcome (Programme Course)
