Human beings and the natural environment constitute the two fundamental factors of geography. In bringing
together these two factors and examining the relationship between them, human geography attempts to
illuminate the effects of the natural environment on human beings and vice versa. The subject is unique in this
sense, with the number, distribution, movement and characteristics of the people living on the face of the earth of
primary importance[14]. For this reason, when the settlement characteristics of a region are examined, it is also
important to examine that area’s population characteristics in order to determine how the distribution of
population throughout the region and their movement affect that area.
