    Geography is a science of the territory, a naturalistic and environmental discipline, and at the same time eminently social. Geography provides the essential cultural elements to obtain a broad view of the Earth, its realities, its problems and risks to its inhabitants. But in addition to this broad general view, it provides a broad theoretical and methodological base, as well as techniques and tools for analysing and recommending solutions that help to mitigate or solve the various territorial problems formulated by society.
