The Impact of Natural Conditions on Territorial Characteristics of Human Behavior: Geographical Determinism, Positivism and Environmentalism

Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of natural conditions on the formation of human behavior and outlook, and their views on the concepts of geographical determinism, possibilism, and environmentalism. It concludes that the structure and behavior of a person are closely linked to the natural environment around him. However, it is wrong to say that natural conditions are the only factors that shape human behavior. The social environment and genetic characteristics are also important in human social life.
