Geography shapes identity through the physical environment, history, and lived experience. Mountains, rivers, islands, or vast plains influence how communities perceive themselves—isolated, protected, open, resilient, or connected.Place names, landscapes, climate, and natural boundaries often become powerful symbols of belonging and collective memory. People frequently say “this land made us who we are.”National, regional, and local identities are deeply territorial: the map is not just space, but a story people tell about themselves.Geography is one of the most enduring foundations of “who we are.”Related websites: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5406/j.ctt1n7zkgj
