Social geography is a field of study that examines the relationship between society. It explores how social factors such as culture, race, gender, and identity influence the spatial organization of cities, regions, and nations. Social geography is concerned with understanding how people interact with their physical and social environments and how these interactions shape social and cultural practices.

Social geography falls into several other sub-disciplines:

• population geography
• Urban geography
• Service geography
• Behavioral geography

One of the key areas of research in social geography is the study of urban spaces. Social geographers examine the social and cultural dynamics of urban areas, including the formation of ethnic neighborhoods, the impact of gentrification, and the effects of urban planning policies on marginalized communities. They also explore the role of public spaces in shaping social interactions and community identity.

Another important area of research is the study of identity and belonging. Social geographers examine the ways in which people identify with particular places and how these identities are shaped by social and cultural factors. They also explore the impact of migration and globalization on identity formation and the challenges faced by marginalized groups in establishing a sense of belonging.

It is also concerned with the relationship between society and the natural environment. Researchers analyze the social and cultural factors that shape our relationship with nature, including the construction of national parks and protected areas, environmental justice, and the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities.
