Answer.

Human Geography is an interdisciplinary subject between physical geography, social science, economy, and psychology.

The following are three major sub-filed of human geography that deal with social science:

  • Welfare (thought) Geography
  • Behavioral (thought) Geography
  • Radical (thought) Geography

Welfare geography emphasizes the study of social aspects of well-being such as housing, health, and education.

Behavioral geography emphasizes the study of ethnicity, race, religion, etc in geography. 

Radical geography emphasizes the study of social equality, gender equality, and other social problems in geography.

Welfare geography, Behavioural geography, and Radical geography indicate that human geography is greatly related to social science.
