Is the school of cultural landscape the same school as the school of landscape in modern human geography? If they are not the same school, what is the difference between the two schools?

Cultural landscape school and landscape school in modern human geography are not the same school. Although they all pay attention to landscape research in geography, they are different in research methods and research emphasis.

Cultural landscape school: this school emphasizes the shaping and influence of human activities on natural landscape and brings cultural factors into landscape research. It pays attention to the relationship between human culture and natural environment, and how human activities shape and change the natural landscape. The research methods of cultural landscape school include historical geography, cultural geography and human ecology, emphasizing interdisciplinary research methods.

Landscape School: This school mainly pays attention to the local geographical characteristics of the surface part (region) and studies the formation, evolution and classification of landscape. The research methods of landscape school include geographical systematics, landscape ecology and physical geography, emphasizing the comprehensive study of natural landscape. This school is similar to the regional school in some respects, but it pays more attention to the study of the landscape itself.

The difference between them mainly lies in the different research methods and key points. Cultural landscape school pays more attention to the influence of human activities on natural landscape and emphasizes the role of cultural factors in the formation and evolution of landscape; Landscape school pays more attention to the study of natural landscape itself and emphasizes the understanding and explanation of local geographical characteristics of the surface.
