WELFARE APPROACH IN GEOGRAPHY

The welfare geography method addresses the problems of injustice and inequality. The methodology emerged in opposition to the 1960s' quantitative and model-building traditions. Human geography underwent a significant shift in the 1970s toward social issues, including poverty, hunger, crime, racial prejudice, and lack of access to health and education, among other things. The tremendous socio-political upheavals in Eastern Europe and South Africa are mostly to blame for the increased emphasis given to issues like the distribution of the benefits of economic development. Therefore, welfare geography's primary focus is on who receives how, what, and where. The "who" denotes the populace of the area being examined (a city, region, or country). The term "what" refers to numerous amenities and limitations that the populace uses and experiences in regard to services, goods, social interactions, etc. Where does it say that there are varied various living standards places? And "How" refers to the method through which the observed variations develop.
