Humanism is a discipline that flows out of the humanistic geography. Humanistic geography is an approach that is concentrating about the human being and the behaviour of the human in everyday life. The humanism believes in the skills and knowledge of humans. Simply said humanism tries to understand what geography might contribute in ‘being in the world’.
Humanistics tries to make the world a better place to live in. One of the methods to reach this goal is to mobilise the research of human minds and to ”understanding ourselves, others and the world we share” (Cosgrove, 1989).
The human being has a centred position in the humanistic geography. This approach is characterised by four subjects: Human awareness, human agency, human consciousness and human creativity.
In the seventies humanistic geography becomes bigger and bigger. The human gets a centred role and the human knowledge and skills are growing. Before this development the humanistic geography was a science that was very traditional. Space was an important aspect at that time.
