The
geography of economic development is considered a branch of human geography.
The aim of its study is to define the concept of economic development, its
development and its methods, and to clarify methods of measuring and presenting

the characteristics of economic development and realizing the resulting
disturbances. Studying the goals of economic development helps to develop the
ability to understand economic and environmental issues and the relationship
between them by clarifying development strategies.
