Development geography is the study of the Earth's geography with reference to the standard of living and quality of life of its human inhabitants. In this context, development is a process of change that affects people's lives. It may involve an improvement in the quality of life as perceived by the people undergoing change. However, development is not always a positive process. Gunder Frank commented on the global economic forces that lead to the development of underdevelopment.

  • Development geography is the study of the Earth's geography with reference to the standard of living and quality of life of its human inhabitants. In this context, development is a process of change that affects people's lives. It may involve an improvement in the quality of life as perceived by the people undergoing change. However, development is not always a positive process. Gunder Frank commented on the global economic forces that lead to the development of underdevelopment. This is covered in his dependency theory. Development geography is that branch of science,which deals with the study of the Earth's lands with reference to the standard and quality of living,of its human inhabitants. In development geography, geographers study spatial patterns in development. They try to find by what characteristics they can measure development by looking at economic, political and social factors. They seek to understand both the geographical causes and consequences of varying development. Studies compare More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) with Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs). Additionally variations within countries are looked at such as the differences between northern and southern Italy, the Mezzogiorno. Within development geography, sustainable development is also studied in an attempt to understand how to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations to meet their own needs.
  • Als Geographische Entwicklungsforschung (auch Geogr. Entwicklungsländerforschung, engl. development geography) wird eine Forschungsrichtung innerhalb der Geographie bezeichnet, welche sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen Entwicklung und räumlichen Strukturen, Prozessen und Funktionen beschäftigt. Sie stellt somit den Beitrag der Geographie zur Entwicklungsforschung dar. Als Angewandte Forschungsrichtung liefert sie Erkenntnisse für Entwicklungsplanung und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.
  • Kehitysmaantieteessä tutkitaan erityisesti maapallon köyhimpiä maita ja alueita, eli ns kolmatta maailmaa. Köyhän etelän vastaparina nähdään Pohjoisen teknis-taloudellinen kulttuuri. Kehitysmaatutkimuksen tavoin myös kehitysmaantiede on ongelmakeskeinen, monia tieteenaloja ja monikulttuurisia lähestymistapoja hyödyntävä tieteenala, ja se muistuttaa läheisesti kehitysmaatutkimusta. Kehitysmaantiedettä voi opiskella ainakin Helsingin Yliopistossa.
