The major of Human Geography and Urban-Rural Planning is a comprehensive discipline, which mainly studies the basic theories, knowledge and skills of human geography and urban-rural planning. It is based on macro and meso regional planning and land management, and is committed to cultivating professionals with the ability of urban and rural planning and design, land resource utilization and planning, tourism resource planning, regional surveying, mapping and mapping. This major emphasizes key words such as map, tourism, planning and urban and rural construction, and aims to enable students to master the basic principles and methods of urban and rural planning through systematic study and practical training, and provide scientific and reasonable planning solutions for urban and rural development and construction.
The postgraduate examination directions of human geography and urban and rural planning include physical geography, human geography, cartography and geographic information system, and geological engineering
Physical geography is the science that studies the composition, structure, function, and dynamics of the physical geographical environment and its interrelationship with human activities. In this direction, students will study in depth the various natural elements of the earth's surface (such as climate, hydrology, landforms, soils and vegetation) and their interactions, as well as the impact of these elements on human activities.
Human geography is the science that studies the distribution, evolution, and propagation of human phenomena on the earth's surface. It studies how human activities form various human phenomena in the surface space, and studies the spatial structure, interrelationship and change law of these phenomena. In this direction, graduate students will pay attention to the spatial distribution and dynamic changes of human factors such as population, city, culture, economy, and politics.
Cartography is a science that studies the production and use of maps, while geographic information system (GIS) is a comprehensive technology integrating cartography, remote sensing technology, computer science and other disciplines. In this direction, graduate students will learn how to collect, process, analyze and manage spatial data using modern technological means, as well as how to make and use various maps to solve practical problems.
Geoengineering is the science that studies the interaction and impact of human engineering activities with the geological environment. It involves the development and utilization of geological resources, the prevention and control of geological disasters, and the evaluation and improvement of engineering geological conditions. In this direction, graduate students will learn how to apply geological principles and methods to solve geological problems in engineering construction, and how to protect and improve the geological environment.
